Adriana Evans-Adriana Evans(An Album That Got Slept On in 97')

I did a thread about a song on this album last year, but this whole album was pretty doggone good. I think this album by this talented vocalist came out in a year where Erykah Badu was taking the r&B world by storm. But this recording truly deserved a better reception.

"Seeing Is Believing" was the lead off single here. The album all-in-all was consistently good...other great songs on here is "Hey Brother"and again one of the best R&B songs songs of the entire 90's IMO..."Trippin".

I also recall seeing her doing a Video Soul mini-concert in promotion for this album on BET a few weeks after it dropped back in 97'.


Pick this one up and give it a listen...if you missed getting it.
Some great stuff on this disc.


Harlepolis, I know you like Adriana...Do you or anybody else know what she is up these days?

The song "Seeing is Believing" sounds familar. I just looked it up on Amazon to see if I could hear a sample (no samples sad) and it said the album was released in 2000 but they must have messed up since they have reviews from 1998 on there.

This album is one of my all time faves. And don't even get me started on how incredible a song "Trippin" is. This album was totally slept on and i recommend recommend recommend it as a must have. Her voice is simply sweet.

I wish she would do another album.
