About.com

So Much Better is the third album by American R&B singer Carl Thomas. It was released by Bungalo Records on June 5, 2007 in the United States. The album marked Thomas's debut release with the label following his departure from Bad Boy Records after the release of his second album Let's Talk About It (2004). The singer reteamed with frequent collaborator Mike City to work on the majority of So Much Better. Distribution of the album was overseen by Universal Records.

The album debuted at number 25 on the US Billboard 200, selling about 28,000 copies in its first week. The cover for So Much Better was photographed by former rapper D-Nice while the A&R overseeing the project were Hakim Green and Vincent "Tuffy" Morgan, members of the mid-1990s hip hop group Channel Live.
