 |  | Excellent sophomore album!!!! |  |
Even though I think "Like this" was not strong enough to be the first single, I bought the CD because I'm a loyal fan of DC and of course, of Kelly. This album is AWESOME!!! My favorite songs are "Work", "Flashback" and "Still in love with my ex". Excellent job Kelly, I don't really know why other parts of the world appreciated more this outstanding album than people in America.
October 18, 2008Kelly Rowland returns (from her 5-year break from making a solo cd) with the sexy and fresh Ms. Kelly album. It is the follow up to her debut, Simply Deep, which was more contemporary rock ballads than anything. I particularly enjoyed that album, but when I heard the song Flashback (as an extra audio track) on Destiny's Child's Live In Atlanta DVD, I was really excited. Then I heard all the rumors about My Story, to be released in 2006. The release dates kept getting pushed back, and eventually just stopped. But in March of 2007, Like This came out as the first single. It was just an all-around fun track, and to this day I still love it! When the album came out in July 2007, I bought it that day. I was surprised by how much it completely captured me! The album will take any listener on an unforgettable journey of ups and downs of relationships. My favorites are Like This, The Show, Flashback, Love, Every Thought Is You, and Comeback. Great job Kelly!
September 14, 2008 | | Its better than the first CD | |
I must say when I heard "Like This".. I just knew the cd was gonna be HOT!!. I freak n loved the song. So I couldn't wait till the CD came out. The excitement went away after listening to the cd. Now I will say "The Show" was a hot song not sure why it wasn't released as a single but it was way better than "Ghetto" however I do like "Ghetto", the only other song that stuck out at me was "LOVE" was feelin the beat and everything but the hook was so ugly but I still like the song.
July 30, 2008Well, after having this CD for a year I can now appreciate Kelly's sophomore album for what it's worth. The quality and the craftsmanship are there however; it just lacks the proper promotion which is fine in my book. Everyone is not meant for mainstream status and I have learned that some of the best albums are not billboard chart toppers. I have followed Kelly's career very closely for the last 10 years and watch her go from Beyonce backup to her own woman. While Kelly's debut solo album Simple deep was not deep enough, Miss Kelly is a much better attempt.
Stand out tracks include
Like this ft Eve
Ghetto ft Snoop
Flashback
Every thought is you
The show ft Tank
Still in love with my ex
Love (by far one of her best tracks written by Solange)
Better without you (another excellent track well crafted)
Overall I give the CD a B-
June 20, 2008This album was okay, not what I had hoped. The songs are ones I'd find on any other R&B singer's album, such as Brandy's, Monica's & Amerie's. I appreciated Kelly most at the time when she released "Stole", which was something no R&B singer had released at the time, and it made her stand out, also with a positive message.
