5.0 out of 5 stars SOULFUL MAGNIFICENCE~ BORN TO SING!!!, August 12, 2004

Grammy Award get ready for Stephanie Mills who shines throughout this new "Born For This!" classic!!! One of the greatest singers ever, I treasure and savor each release from this incredible singer but it has been far too many years for a classic like Stephanie to be not in the recording studio making great music for us all to enjoy. MCA's "Something Real" is a truly awesome classic and "Stephanie Mills Christmas" is one of the greatest holiday recordings ever but both of these magnificent works are ten plus years ago but should not be missed by anyone who enjoys a great singer in peak form. "Born For This!" is prime Stephanie as she inhabits each song with all the passion and vocal greatness that is her trademark...ballads smolder with passionate intensity and funky jams like "Free" & "For U" have a current contemporary feel that should take Stephanie to the top of the charts where she belongs!!! "You Still Mean So Much" is completely gorgeous with just Stephanie and piano creating a warm classic while "Something In The Way (He Makes Me Feel)" is a great reworking of a Stephanie classic from the past...a powerfully emotional yet fine vocal makes "Baby Love" a very special treat but the grand slam Diva number is saved for last and "Born For This!" is a vocal masterpiece!! Follow the lyrics of this classic while Stephanie gets inside of them and turns them inside out while giving the listener the ride of a lifetime on a great voice...this is the ultimate emotional and vocal tour-de-force...thank you Stephanie Mills and please don't wait so long for the next!!!

A classic "soul diva" has returned to us. I found Stephanie Mills' new CD by accident and thought I was seeing things wrong. She sounds and looks great. I remember hearing her voice back around 1978 and have stood by her through the ups and downs this business can envelope. Move over Jill, Angie, and Anita...she's back. Great to have you "Home" where you belong Steph! God Bless!
