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.

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!

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.

There's been a glut of sound-a-like R&B acts, and Miss Jones is no different. It's better than her radio show, but that's not saying much. For an album with her name on it, surprised she doesn't have any racist lyrics to deliver here. There are a number of talented R&B singers who don't get the airplay, don't get the sales. Try Ayo's album instead, now she's a talent.

her debut album is truly a fine record. their are some fantastic tracks like "2 way street" and "dance wit me". If you haven't bought it just go out and buy it.

NOT REALY AS GOOD AS I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE,SHE STILL CAN PUT IT DOWN AT TIMES...LIKE HOLDING IT DOWN FOR THA LATE GREAT BIG L.

My parents told me what you did on radio and I think you are awful. Im African American and you embarassed us. We have been trying to stop racism against our people and there you go making fun of another race.
