The album kicks of with a strange but charming song that makes you stop and listen. This girl is almost unique, she is definitely different that's for sure, "Playa No MO" has a mixture of R&B and a hint of Charleston, "cool' It is well done, great production and very catchy. The album flows smoothly into interesting song after song and peaks at songs like "I'm Not The Enemy" Which cries out to men to talk to their partner's and not treat them like the enemy, good sentiment, if you are a woman, can you imagine what it's like to be a man in the year 2001? You can always tell an album that is going to be a classic, it usually has more than one hit on it for starters, and this album certainly has. Apart from "Playa No MO" and "I'm Not The Enemy" there is also Track 10 "You Don't Know" if this is not the next single then I will have to stop eating chicken wings. It's lively and fun and at the same time contains the same elements of track one "Playa No MO" you know that Charleston vibe (sweet) it makes you want to do a stupid dance, you know the one that you pray no one records on digicam. All in all the album has some interesting although not ground breaking production and makes a welcome change from the norm, check out track 12 and 13 they are so sweet. We think this album is a must have, simply because it's different and is damn good. Check out the Phatmag interview and concert review right now follow this link and enjoy......
