Missjones' Debut Album!!!! Good, but I Expected More..., June 24, 2002
This review is from: Other Woman (Audio CD)
This is Missjones' 1998 debut album from Motown. Hardcore R&B fans might know that this artist scored a few underground hits in 1994 with her singles "Don't Front" and "Where I Wanna Be Boy" from a now bankrupt record label called StepSun. She also had a never-released underground song called "Love Somebody Else" featuring the Lox, which used the same sample as Puffy's "All About the Benjamins" and lifted the chorus from the 70's Jones Girls song "You're Gonna Make Me Love Somebody Else." Her early underground songs are true classics (although it's next to impossible to find them today), and I believed that she was going to be the next queen of hip hop soul. Although this is a very solid album, it did not quite live up to my expectations. The songs are not bad, but they are too plain, ordinary and mainstream for Missjones -- I think Motown polished her up too much. I wanted Missjones to maintain that raw, underground flavor from her StepSun days. Still, I really like some of the songs on here, and it's much better than most of the crap that pervades the R&B scene today.

Cool CD!!! Love it!, March 14, 2004

This review is from: Other Woman (Audio CD)
Miss Jones' CD is a must! She's a great singer and every song is worth the listen, excluding the interludes. I heard about her in 1994 on the radio, then heard her again couple years later, however, there was still no album released by her. Finally, in '98, it is released! So long awaited! I'm surprised it's only her 1st album! The album is very enjoyable, my only complaint would be the interludes which aren't really necessary and so I skip them. Best songs on this CD would have to be: "It's So Amazin'," "Baby Maybe," "Two Way Street," and "Rain Down." This CD is a must have. Make it your next buy!

Pretty Good album!!!, November 7, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Other Woman (Audio CD)
I like this CD, it's pretty good.She has talent, and a nice face and body to go with it.But, the songs are way too short.By the time you get into the songs, their over, but other than that the CD is pretty good.I'm not sure if I absolutely love this CD, yet.But it's pretty good.If you like R&B and Hip Hop mixed together, like Ashanti or somebody like her, then you'll like Miss Jones.BUT SHE IS SO GHETTO!!!! P.S.I can't stand two songs on the CD:Need Somebody and Won't Stop.
