Harlepolis said:

good enough 4 me.

Crazy In Love
Naughty Girl Should be a single
BabyBoy
Hiip Hop Star Diana Ross, anyone?
Be With You (Yep, remake of Bootsy')
Me, Myself & I
Yes
Signs
Speechless (I like this one!)
That's How You Like It]
The Closer I Get To You (with Luther)
Dangerously In Love 2
Interlude very sweet
Gift From Virgo Jazzy Bey?
Work It Out
Bonnie & Clyde 3

go over to FreeMyHeart.com for her most Princey track called "I Can't Take No More". I figure because of the arrangements and the sound, it'll get compared to Prince. It actually reminds me of Cherokee a lil' bit musically. Think: Bey does "She's Always In My Hair". Its by far the FUNKIEST one and worth the download. Enjoy the songs. Peace.

p.s. - The songs are in .wma format, so if you don't already have it, you need Windoze moodia player


This is a SEXY CD. I think its what she needs to go the direction she's being bred for. Its a long way from Destiny's Child's material, that's for sure. This is NOT a DC CD.

Are we TALKING about Prince? Cuz if we're then "Signs" is just the very best prime examble of a Princely influenced joint(the harmonies, the sexy/dark/edgy vibe, the lyrics, the rhythem arrangments and the whole nine ) Plsu, Missy is doing her damn thang in that joint so u know that homegirl got some Princely "blood" in her, u feel me?

BTW,,,thanx baby

I'm not loving this CD. It's a'ight, it'll probably get played a few times then put on the shelf. But it is crazy sexy. I could have done w/o the interlude though. For some reason I HATE her speaking voice.

I knew u were talking about CTNM. Hmmm,,actualy you're not the only one who thinks that "Signs" is not a tribute 2 Prince.

But I think I'm the only one who could see the connection.

I skipped through it a couple of days ago, it's obviously had some money ploughed into it because it sounds more organ than most pop albums today - Seems like the powers that be regard her as the next female solo star.

However, apart from a few tracks it seemed like the usual R&B/pop affair, only with a little more polish and a little more cat-a-whaling.

There was one track that had a guitar that reminded me of Prince ballads like Pink Cashmere and Eye Hate U.

Bring on the Maurice Joshua mixes

I think you're talking about the neo-How Does It Feel song "Speechless"

BlaqueKnight said:

Got it yesterday. Not impressed.

Doesn't 'Naughty Grils' sound somewhat familiar?

SpcMs said:

I love to love u baby I love the Arabic Rythem too. She also sampled Bootsy Collins' song and Brothers Johnsons' "Strawberry Letters 23" in "Be With U".

The album started off nicely but by now we're definitely going in 'girls only'-territory. I mean, i don't think any guy can get through that Signs song without cringing.

SpcMs said:

U don't like "Signs" too? =/

Harlepolis said:

Waddo u mean, 'too'?
