I don't really like Solange's new tracks, but this one sounds really hot! It'll be on her mixtape, not on her new album. It samples a Kanye West track. Solo's voice has improved a lot!

This album was released 7 years ago, in 2001. It's Mikaila's only album since then. It's similar to Christina Aguilera's debut album. It's full of nice teen-pop tracks and Mikaila has a very good voice.

Labels: 2006, album review, monica, RnB, USA

Keyshia Cole is my favorite singer, I usually love every song she sings.
I was amazed when I 1st heard this album. I really loved her debut album as well, but she has improved a lot since then. Her voice and her style has matured a lot, but she's still the same girl.
Let It Go, the 1st single off the album is a great upbeat song. At 1st I didn't like it that much, but it has grown on me. Didn't I Tell You is one of the best songs on this album. It's a great song, very rhythmic, a club banger, that should've been released as a single. Fallin' Out is one of my fave KC songs ever! It's so beautiful and cathy. I just love her voice on it and the melody of the song. I Remember is the "Love" of Just Like You. It's like "Love" on her 1st album. A beautiful, painful ballad. On the 2nd single, Shoulda Let You Go Keyshia introduces her best friend, Amina, who raps on the track. I was addicted to the track when I 1st heard it, but now it isn't my biggest favorite. But I still like it. The 4th single, Heaven Sent is a beautiful track as well.
Was It Worth It is one of the best KC tracks IMO. It reminds me of Alicia Keys. I could imagine it as a single as well.
Diddy's track, Last Night was my favorite song in late 2006 and in 2007. It's a great club song!
I really love the iTunes bonus track Trust. It's an amazing mid-tempo song, the sound of it is similar to Fallin' Out. It should've been an album track not just a bonus.
The international deluxe version of the album features the singles and the best track from KC's debut album "The Way It Is" and the original version of "Just Like You". That version is great for those, who aren't big KC fans, but want to get to know her.
I think every R&B fan must have this album!

Prima J are Mexican-American cousins Jessica and Janelle Martinez. Their 1st single was Rockstar that was featured on a soundtrack. I remember that I checked out that track back then, but I didn't really pay attention to it. Then I've heard their 1st single off this album Nadie (No One) that's the Spanglish cover of Alicia Keys' hit single. I love Alicia's song and I love Prima J's cover as well. It's my fave song on the album. There should be more Spanish songs on it!
The 2nd single Corazon (You're Not Alone) is a nice track as well.
The majority of the album is uptempo, but there are some mid-tempo songs as well. I like almost all tracks of the album. Leftovers is a great, catchy song, Inside Out is a slower jam. Girlfriend and Boom are a bit weird, but I like them. Flip The Script and Homework are mid-tempo tracks. I like both. The only tracks I don't really like are Chilosa, that is a bit annoying and Infatuated that is a bit boring.
I like their style, their sound. I think they are a very good new group! Check them out! I'm a Prima J fan now!
