Might participate in this one :]

Well jump on back in. You have time though. Usually a week or two to get back with the review. I am not a Nazi about it like others are.

Yea this definitly brings back some nostalgic lol This album is underrated


This is a pretty fun funky R&B album. The production is the highlight of the album for me.

Highlights/Favorites: Movin On, It is All About Me (THAT VIDEO!!! LOL), Keep On Lovin Me, Anytime You Want Me,

I miss Mya. She is a really underrated dancer. I think she is one of the best dancers of her era/generation. She is a trained dancer. She doesn't have the best voice but her voice fits well with her music and she is beautiful!

It was so hard for me to get through this album. I start and stopped it a couple of times before I finished it off.

The only highlight to me is the production. Also, this must have been my first time listening to a Mya album all the way through but it just did nothing for me.

I feel like I may have to get her more recent material and work backwards hopefully she grew over the years artistically and isn't this lackluster. I feel like her hit singles are a bit deceiving especially when that's all I know from her. I won't completely cast her aside just yet but her debut album isn't a good first impression on me.

It's your turn to pick the next album. Not sure if Sugar has time or not to get her review in. I don't know if you want to wait another day or two before we move on.

^ I agree with your opinion on Mya.

Mya discography overall is not the greatest. However, she is a fantastic dancer and tap dancer. She is also good with laying down hooks for guest appearances on rap songs. I like her because she is sweet and is a great dancer. She doesn't really seem to care about the charts and does her own thing.

I LOVE me some Jodeci. This band is crazy good. It's sad that their drug problems got in the way of their talents. I think they are better than Boys II Men (although I do like Boys II Men to). They played all the instruments in their songs as well as the production and songwriting. I will come back with my review.

I groaned just seeing their name and I'm not sure why. I'm going to have to fight against that bias because in all honest I have never listened to one of their albums before.

LOL You groaned because of their name?

You have to listen to this album. This is their best album in my opinion. Jodeci has a really good discography and they are crazy underrated.

If they did not allow their drug problems/antics to get in the way, they probably would get more props as a band.

I have a negative association with Jodeci and can't remember why so yes just seeing their name triggered my groan.

I will give them a chance though.

This is a great album and a classic! I think this is a must have if you love the new jack swing/ 90's R&B era. Jodeci is really underrated as a band. Unfornately due to drug problems and other related controversies, they don't get their just due. Regardless they are a great band and in my opinion was better than Boys II Men during this period because they had the full package. They wrote, produced and played all the instruments for there music.
Devante Swing is really underrated as a songwriter and musician.
Review time!
