Surrender is the fourth and final Capitol Records studio album by R&B singer O'Bryan. O'Bryan would not record another album until the 2007 release of "F1RST" under his own imprint, Headstorm.

Reception
Because of a lengthy negotiation with Capitol, "Surrender" was not released until more than two years after the release of O'Bryan's highest charting album, "Be My Lover." The single choices were the up-tempo "Tenderoni" and "Driving Force," but arguably the strongest cuts on the album were three ballads — "You Have Got To Come To Me," "Maria" and "Is This For Real" — that displayed O’Bryan’s musical and vocal development.
