Queen Latifah

(featuring a remake of "Betcha Got A Chick On The Side )

Joni Mitchell


Meshell Ndegeochello


Chaka Khan



Keyshia Cole

all music had the nerve to almost make this album a CLASSIC??? Lawd..then the whole review is based on comparisons to Mary J...(which is a far cry). That album is a *** out of 5. Too many slow tempo tunes. There are some good cuts, "Got To Get My Heart Back" "Let It Go" "Was It Worth It" "Give Me More", but the rest kinda falls in the same R&B category unfortunatley. Its just ok.

Keyshia's cd is decent at best although it is far from the disaster that was her debut...

Thank you!

intha916 said:

Lina's CD is fandamntastic too.

paisleypark4 said:

yeah, all three on my list are great though...but chaka takes it back oldschool yet adds a modern edge to it. its great.

MuthaFunka said:

Her album was criminally slept on

Her best album...period.

Brilliant!

Preach it!

I heard samples from Chaka and it sounds incredible. Can't wait to pick it up. Circuit City has most (if not all) of the new releases for $9.99 and CHaka's has a bonus track!

BTW, some which weren't even listed...I think the big one is a country CD (Rascall Flatts or something...it will probably be the number one disc) and also not listed is Melissa Etheridge's first release after overcoming breast cancer..good for her!

Oh, and this!



Discuss....Maybe I'm being a stiff, but at the very least, a good candidate for worst album cover ever (hopefully this is not on vinyl, though). At worst, the end of civilization!

Boo Best Buy. They did not carry Meshell's latest & Borders had it but for 17.99. Had to settle for the ITUNES version..

I mentioned Melissa Etheridge! It's her best album ever...I have lived with it for 2 days now and I play it beginning to end...quite a story...very moving, reflective...we need more artists like her!

Farfunknugin said:

those are the two places i went...ended up paying 17 for Chaka and Meshells.

sosgemini said:

Tarjet has Chaka for 11.99. Listenin to it now...I like Foolish Fool and ONe For All Time sounds coo so far. Back In The Day is aiight, but I had a hard time understanding what she was saying.

Farfunknugin said:

Damn! I was just on Itunes and noticed they had a pretty healthy MeShell catalog (nearly everything, I think). I sampled around. I actually don't have any of her albums....Recommendations for the first? "Cookie" looks good and funky.

Again, if you're still looking for Chaka's, Circuit City! Even online probably has the same price and maybe free shipping.

Her debut: Plantation Lullabyes - DEEP!

VANITYSprisonBYTCH said:

I didn't see your post (it might not have been up).

Glad to hear she made a good album. Hope it finds a decent sized audience.

MuthaFunka said:

Cool. That thing is that is great about an artist like MeShell who had some albums that sold decently is you can probably find used copies for very good prices . Later ones, probably not.

VinnyM27 said:

Yeah, Amazon should have a lot of her stuff pretty cheap.

paisleypark4 said:

The only one I bought was Chaka Khan. Next week it's Annie Lennox!

look at all these great soul artists and rappers who are comming out with new music that won't get any air play on the radio stations in my area.
