21... Ways to Grow is the third studio album by American R&B singer Shanice.

It was released by Motown Records on June 21, 1994, in the United States.

It includes the minor hit singles "Somewhere" and "Turn Down the Lights".

[2] Jean Rosenbluth of the Los Angeles Times wrote that: "On this coming-of-age album, the veteran recording artist celebrates adulthood with her most mature effort yet, a cohesive collection of playful hip-hop, come-hither power ballads and aggressive funk.

"[4] Vibe contributor Jeremy Helligar commended Shanice's "versatile and finely nuanced" voice and being more involved in the album's production, but felt it lacked cohesiveness when going for numerous R&B demographics, concluding that: "Sure, Shanice wears all these hats well, especially that funky, funky chapeau on "I Like."
