Walk Out is the sixth studio album by Jamaican singer Lady Saw, released on April 17, 2007 by VP Records
Composition Some of the songs were classified as more "vulnerable" and less explicit than her previous work. In "No Less Than a Woman (Infertility)", Saw discusses her personal experiences with infertility. "Not the World's Prettiest" has been classified as "lilting R&B" and criticized Western conceptions of beauty; its theme was compared favorably to "Unpretty" by TLC.
Reception Critical
On the review aggregate site Album of the Year, Walk Out holds a score of 80 out of 100. Allmusic awarded the album four stars out of five; a review for the outlet, written by David Jeffries, likened it to Prince's early releases and deemed it "an exciting mix of shocking, intoxicating, daring, and sure." Writing for the Lincoln Journal Star, Brett Johnson regarded the album as evidence that Saw "endures not only because of her sharp tongue but her big heart." In the July 2007 issue of Vibe, as part of a feature on a reggae recording studio, the album was highlighted as being in "Heavy Rotation".
Commercial The album became Saw's fourth entry on the Billboard Reggae Albums chart, on which it peaked at number eight.
