If you like old school janet jackson you'll like this...

So funny, I actually thought the same; in some parts it does remind me of Janet.
I may be uncool for saying this but I do like Elixer a lot.
It's not just smooth and Jazzy like general background music, like some reviews said.
Just listen to Immersion, It is not following any regular scheme for popsong writing.

I dig it:))

Bria's voice reminds me a little of "Lisa Keith."

I think "Elixer," is very pretty. "All This Love," is my favorite.

I've been listening to it regularly since I got it and my skin has never looked better!

I heard it she doesn't have a drop of soul, but her voics isn't bad.

Not uncool. I enjoy it myself. I just wish I had a great local jazz lounge to sit at and listen to it. It would be perfect.

haven't felt inclined 2 give it a go yet, but have listened very briefly..although i know my bloke has given it a longer listen..
her voice isn't terrible but doesn't convince me either.
i think prince should have kept a couple of those songs & maybe given her 'dance 4 me'..just keeping it real

I think the lady definitely has potential. Her CD is a wonderful example of what Prince can do when he really puts his mind to it. I like her CD more than Lotus Flow3r, but that's just where I am for now. I hope this isn't their only collaboration. It's not Sade, but I would love to see Home or All This Love get a proper single release. Tonight sounds like mellow club music if that is possible.

i swear i heard most of this album







during the Musicology tour intermission.

I thought






it was






great





then.





I was trying to place at that time where


I knew it from, because





it sounded old school R&B from the

early 90's.

The title track on Bria's cd is perhaps the best song on all three disks.

Very good songs. So-so vocals. The songs are all over the place, and her voice changes to suit each one, but remains underwhelming throughout.

However, I like the songs so much (except for 'Another Boy') that I listen to it a lot more than I thought I would.
Her voice isn't bad, it's just bland. (like the drummer, where the real drummer?)
