Mr. I is the debut solo studio album by American R&B lead singer of The Isley Brothers, Ronald Isley. It was released on November 30, 2010.[1]

After his 56-year tenure with the group, Isley developed a solo album early on throughout his career.[2] Mr. I is also Isley's comeback album after his release from a three-year federal prison sentence on tax charges earlier that April.[3] It is also his only solo album under Def Jam Recordings; he left the label in October 2011.[citation needed] The album is also the final album to be released under Def Jam's Def Soul Classics factionary imprint and overall, the final album released under Def Soul as a whole; Def Soul would be folded into Def Jam in May 2011.[4]

The album received generally positive reviews from critics, but performed underwhelmingly, debuting at number fifty on the Billboard 200.[5]
