Album Description

Outstanding Debut

This CD is wonderful from beginning to end. Track #3, with Ludacris is lots of fun. The ballad, Giving Myself, written by Robin Thicke is abosolutely gorgeous and sure to be a classic. Fantasia makes a guest appearance on one of the tracks and they sound great together. The gospel track at the end is a wonderful surprise. I can't think of a single track that seems out of place or weaker than the others. I'm glad I purchased this CD. You definitely have to be a person that likes traditional R & B, this album is not Pop music. November 29, 2008

BEST" BLACK IDOL" PREVIEW ALBUM

Although Jennifer didn't win American Idol, she has delivered the best debut album by far of any of the previous black idol contestants. Her range is great from R&B to gospel. The entire album is worth the money. I love the collaboration with Ludacris it was really hip and fun. I can't wait to hear her next album. November 26, 2008

Talented Sister

wide range & depth in roots renditions. Young sister is very naturally multi talent, Unfortunately, the lost of a family can be a devistaating experience hopefully it will refelect positive in her music. I give her 4 stars for her effort. November 23, 2008
