- Pink Elephant is the fourth studio album by American recording artist N'Dambi. A neo soul record that incorporates elements of jazz and funk, it focuses on themes including double lives, love-hate relationships, true love, betrayal, and the music industry. N'Dambi highlighted classic R&B artists such as Betty Davis and Smokey Robinson as her influences when recording the album; for the album's writing and production, she worked with Leon Sylvers III, who was known for his work with artists including Gladys Knight, Shalamar, and Blackstreet. The album was released in the United States on October 6, 2009, by Stax Records, and in the United Kingdom on February 22, 2010. It marked N'Dambi's major-label debut, after having independently released her first three records. It also marked the first full-length release by Stax following its closure then reestablishment. Upon its release, the album received favorable reviews from critics, who praised the storytelling lyrics and N'Dambi's vocal performance; it also received a nomination at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical. The album attained a peak of number 42 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, as well as number 31 on the Heatseekers Albums chart. Additionally, the lead single, "Can't Hardly Wait", entered the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and became a top 40 hit on the Adult R&B Songs chart. The album also spawned a second single, "Ooo Baby".
