In and Out of Love is the debut album of American R&B singer Cheri Dennis, issued by Bad Boy/Atlantic Records. It was exclusively released digitally through the iTunes Store on November 13, 2007 with a followup of the physical CD's and Vinyl's made available on February 26, 2008. In and Out of Love debuted at #74 on the Billboard 200, Dennis's debut album received highly critically acclaimed reviews despite questions being raised concerning the album's sudden halt possibly due to the record label and the music industry's infamous promotional discrepancies, corruption, quid pro quo, fraudulent fine print being added onto contracts, breach of contract, and federal embezzlement.[3]

"Portrait of Love", the second of three singles released, reached #55 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.[4] It was originally entitled "Portrait" and featured only Yung Joc, but after the single was leaked the track title was changed and Gorilla Zoe was added to the song. The first single "I Love You" peaked at #18 on Billboard, and the third single "Pretend" featuring Maino peaked at #116 on the charts. Promotion of third single was neglected due to her record label revoking budgets and refusing to grant funds for the album's future singles because of slow record sales Due to the record label purposely releasing undershipped copies which resulted in the album pacing off of the charts and remaining discontinued at an Out of print status and only available via streaming.
