He outdid himself for this protoge hands down a great collaboration!!

This was a perfect addition to the other two albums. Though Prince is the mastermind behind this project her participation cannot be discredited. She rose to the challenge and delivered a solid vocal performance. I appreciated the live feel on this album and the lyrics are impressive. Smooth chillout and sexy.

4 out of 5 stars and maybe even better than that as time goes on.

I think "Home" should have been the first single. I like "everytime" but its too subtle to be the song hes introducing her to the world with.

I love Elixer too... great song!

My love for my future wife aside, this is a dope record. She killed it and did Prince and us fans proud. This is a record musicians can and will appreciate and she mos def held her own. She was saaaaangin on Kept Woman yo, i felt that. "yes I am" "oh yes i am" Thats my kinda woman WORD.

Prince is out of his natural mind for letting this one go. committed

This is what I said too!!! I can't believe it I guess I like jazzy like music more than I thought Everytime is starting to grow on me as well. She has a "pretty" voice. She can't SANG, but she can sing so these type of smooth slow paced songs works for her.

My favorite so far is Something U Already Know and a very close second is Elixer. Love it!!

Didn't really have time to listen to this album, but accidently played '2Nite'.
This very simple track just feels better and better. It really has a 'club' style to it and it would be great to hear this remixed and loud while dancing. I'm really surprised by the effectiveness of the track. Minneapolis disco?

I'm diggin the title track as well

Fair play! This isn't a bad album by any stretch of the imagination. Bria's voice suits the songs well in the main and the quality of tracks and coherency of the album is, in my opinion, better than the Mayte and Tamar discs. It's not outstanding but by no means poor and serves up some solid downtempo lounge/jazz/soul grooves. Reminds me a lot of Santessa and a bit of the Brand New Heavies and some of the stuff by Sugar Rush Beat Company. Don't think it'll be played an awful lot but a lot more than I thought it would be played! Works well as part of the package but, I'm sure like others, would have preferred a third proper P album.

I simply love "2nite"

I'm surprised with the album. It's actually great.

Its worth putting her album with prince's its good to listen to. She has done well. Cant wait to hear you Bria

Evertime Should be on Alladin Hope disney wants some new songs theres a part that gives me chills

[color=#44444:df22360249][color=red]I think I'll use this CD to snort lines of coke on before I bump to MPLsound [/color] lol








It's pure rubbish. (like we expected anything better)

Did Tamars album even make it to see the light of day? I thought It got canned and never released?

2nite has that classic Prince feel to it. The vocal delivery is very reminiscent of Sheila E's "Boys Club".

BruceWayneIII said:

Yeah They should have a DJ do a hip hop club mix of Home and 2night! Those would be hot dance tracks. Im really feeling this album. Girlfriend represented with her voice, I am not mad at her. My favorite so far is Elixer it makes me wanna have some hot relations!

Its obvious you have a chip on your shoulder

worhol said:

Right because I said his review was balanced and the critics were actually overly mean?

Well in that case its obvious you know Bria.

The standouts (for me) are definitely "Another Boy", "Kept Woman" and "Something U Already Know".

The name Sade (in any way, shape, form or context) should've never never never never never never never never crossed his lips when he introduced her. Nothing, and I mean nothing (vibe, music, style, vocals) can even begin to fill any kind of Sade-void.

2nite had potential, too bad the lyrics make it so appropriate for a Kingdom Hall social. It sounds like a lesser version of Sheila's "Boy's Club".

Everytime is cornier than a turd after a 4th of July picnic.

Nothing GREAT about any of it. Subpar for the most part- but I do like "Something U Already Know". "Kept Woman" is like a lesser Money Don't Matter 2Nite. Again- not terrible, but the blame rests squarely on the writing (sorry). There are a number of artists who do chill music WAY better and more interesting. That dance track "2Nite" is laughable. Now I'll go listen to the other two cds..wanted to get that one out of the way.

PS- i tried NOt to listen to hard to the words for fear of REALLY disliking it.

Oh god LOL no i dont know Bria No thats not why i said what I said about the chip on your shoulder. Reading your posts shows that chip immediately. You dont know what your talking about and the one who is obvious is you! Why do you care so much.

worhol said:

Because I have an opinion. Why even respond to my posts then? Skip it.

I dont have a chip, a boulder or even a speck. I just dont like her voice.

I have taste and some folks here their taste is all in their toe jam. So who cares? You do.

salaciousV said:

I have great taste in music and others probably feel that way about their taste in music too. If some people dont agree with you why dismiss it like you set the bar on good opinions . It is what it is. Why harp on it.

worhol said:

Aww. Look here, you responded to me and my opinion. I have never dissed anyone for liking Bria. You are saying I have a chip on my shoulder. Why even go there?

IGNORE MY POSTS like I'm about to do to yours.

And thats all.

So and

NouveauDance said:

Is this the only song that includes Prince on vocals?
[Edited 3/25/09 22:13pm]

yes it is!!

It's a good chilled out cd .... but hear this! and hear this good!



NO one will EVER REPLACE SADE OR HER BAND AKA SWEETBACK closest thing to come within a few feet was AYA mainly because SWEETBACK was involved, Not making her into Sade...but pushing her into chill/dance/underground category.



Back to Bria ...good job arrangement works with Clare perfectly.
