Amerie works it out in super thigh-high boots and a fur vest in Manhattan on Tuesday (November 4).

The 31-year-old Grammy nominee sat down with The Urban Daily to talk about her new album, In Love & War, in stores NOW! (Make sure you download “Swag Back.” Obsessed!!!)

“The album, for the most part, is about the hard times of relationships,” Amerie said.

“There’s no song that idealizes love…it’s more of a realistic portrayal of being with someone other than yourself.”

As for whether she thinks all is fair in love and war, “I think so!” Amerie shared. “Human nature is human nature and the heart wants what the heart wants.”

Amerie drops it like its hot at Entertainment Weekly‘s Annual Must-List Party at Gotham Hall on Thursday in New York City.

The half-Korean, half-African American singer has an album called Because I Love It coming out later this summer.

The release of Because I Love It made Blender magazine’s list of 25 Reasons to Love ’07, ranking in at #19.

Amerie, 29, recently geeked out saying, “I am addicted to The Sims [video game]. I live out a virtual life online. I think it’s seriously cool, but I guess it’s kind of dorky. I’ve got [Destiny's Child singer] Kelly Rowland into it too, and now we hook up in the game. Beyonce tried to join us, but she wasn’t into it. Also I love to read science magazines. It’s not very R+B I know.”
