I guess I should clarify that it is the mp3 download. Still cheaper than iTunes (which has it for $9.99).

They have the physical cd on sale for $9.99, but some of their sellers have it on sale for $8.99.

It's not any good? I liked a few tracks from her last album,the CD she released in 2006.

I liked the first two albums, but the last one, not so much. This one reminds me of that one but I can't really say because I haven't gotten through it. I just keep skipping. There's just not enough oomph there and since she doesn't have any range it's a little monotonous. A lot of songs remind me of jingles. Off the top of my head I think there are maybe two songs that I like.

From the last album,I liked the two singles "I Am Not My Hair" and "There's Hope".Is there anything like those songs on the new CD?

At least someone came out with a review about it. I can't really get in2 her....too I guess tame for me....like you said the oomph isnt there in her music enough for me 2 buy it. I like her no doubt but I want to stay awake too.

I hate to use the word ‘corny’ because really, what does that mean but it’s the first word that comes to mind every time I hear Chocolate High. Cringe-worthy.
But I like her and wish her success. I’ve seen her live several times and she was pretty good but she’s not holding my attention with this latest effort.

On this particular song, I think the key is a bit too high for him. He's not the best singer, so when he has to struggle to hit notes, it's not a good thing.
