Passion is the first album by the Canadian singer Kreesha Turner. It was released on August 12, 2008, in Canada and in early 2009 in the United States.[2] Passion became available for advanced streaming on MuchMusic.com. a week earlier.[3]

In early August, 2008, the album was leaked onto MTV Canada's The Leak on its official website.

Although Turner originally signed in the US to Virgin Records, a Capitol Music Group label, her first American release was instead on the Capitol Records imprint, also within the Capitol Music Group. This maintained consistency with her Canadian releases under EMI Music Canada which uses the Capitol Records imprint and are copyrighted by Capitol Records, LLC.
