Nona Hendryx discography

American singer Nona Hendryx has released seven studio albums, three collaborative albums, two compilation albums, one extended play, and twenty-seven singles (including six as a featured artist). After the disbandment of Labelle, Hendryx pursued a solo career and released her self-titled debut solo album on Epic Records in 1977. Following the disappointment of her debut album, she left Epic Records and briefly joined Arista Records in 1979 where she released three singles: "You're the Only One That I Ever Needed", "Love It", and "Snakes Alive".

In April 1983, she released her second album Nona on RCA Records. The album experienced moderate success, peaking at number 83 on the US Billboard 200 and number 25 on the Top Black LPs chart. The album featured a minor crossover hit "Keep It Confidential", which peaked in the top thirty on the US Hot Black Singles and Hot Dance Club Play charts and number 91 on the Billboard Hot 100. Her follow-up album, The Art of Defense (1984), spawn the Top 40 dance singles "I Sweat (Going Through The Motions)" and "To the Bone". By the time she released her fourth album The Heat in 1985, RCA Records began experience financial issues and there was little promotion for the album. She left RCA Records and joined EMI Records for the release of one album Female Trouble (1987). The album's lead single "Why Should I Cry?" became her highest-charting single, peaking at number 58 on the Billboard Hot 100 and in the top ten positions on the R&B and Dance charts. Despite her success on EMI Records, she parted ways with the record label.

Following the release of seventh album You Have to Cry Sometime, a collaborative effort with Billy Vera, Hendryx went on a hiatus. After nearly twenty years, she released her second collaborative album It's Time with Kahil El'Zabar's Ethnics. The album succeeded by the released of her ninth album Mutatis Mutandis in July 2012.
