All she ever wanted to do is have some fun, but these last few years have been anything but for singer and song writer Sheryl Crow.

But, when life gives Sheryl lemons, she either makes lemonade – or a killer record.

Crow has announced that she will be ready to release her album, entitled “Detours”, on Feb. 5.

As it turns out, “Detours” is a fitting name for the singer’s latest album, as she was forced to make many during the past few years. Only weeks after her devastating split with long-time boyfriend Lance Armstrong in 2006, Crow was diagnosed with breast cancer. After a number of surgeries, the singer successfully recovered from the disease. Then, after spending just over a year alone, the singer adopted a son whom she named Wyatt.

Shortly thereafter, Crow got word that the GirlFrenzy festival that she was slotted to headline had been canceled for unknown reasons.

Like any artist, crow has turned her hardships into gold, as great things are expected of “Detours”.

Crow has a number of television appearances scheduled in the next few weeks where she will debut some of the new songs, like “God Bless This Mess”, from the album.
