I highly anticipated getting this disc and couldn't wait to hear how Monica could or would top her previous album.
Her huge hit single, SO GONE was the perfect choice for a lead-off single - it's a hypnotically addictive track that features a strong vocal performance from Monica. I enjoyed this entire album, although not as much as 'THE BOY IS MINE', but it's certainly a strong, well produced album that any Monica fan should enjoy.
My standout tracks are:
U SHOULD'VE KNOWN BETTER - again, excellent choice as a 2nd single, this was a huge r&b hit that again showcases Monica's beautiful voice
KNOCK KNOCK - love the sample used
BREAKS MY HEART - really pretty mid-tempo ballad
HURTS THE MOST - excellent overall production
GO TO BED MAD - I'm not a Tyrese fan but this is a really nice duet between the two singers
As for the bonus disc:
TOO HOOD - I didn't like the lyrics but the music got my head bopping to the beat
DOWN 4 WHATEVER - her vocals are really airy and pretty sounding
SEARCHIN - inspirational track
I would highly recommend this disc to any Monica fan and although I didn't like it as much as I loved her previous album, this is still one of the better 2003 r&b album releases.
