Editorial Reviews

From the depths of the R&B music revolution emerges an rtist whose multi-dimensional lyrical decadence is nothing short of sensational. She is the innovative, yet sensual phenom whose passion and drive for success propelled her music into a new dimension of personal growth for music lovers to experience. Her name is Adina Howard. She shocked the music industry with her signature platinu single Freak Like Me off her Do You Wanna Ride gold debut album. Continuously re-inventing herself, Adina inspired other music personalities such as Lil' Kim, Foxy Brown, and Eve with her touch and tease lyrics to take a stand and be comfortable in their sexuality while at the same time being in tune with what it means to be a woman in a male dominated world. With the Second Coming, Adina sends her message with a confident and relaxed sensuality in a way that few female singers dare to attempt. In the midst of it all, the Grand Rapids, Michigan native found a greater appreciation for the vast learning experiences that has made her the wiser, multi-dimensional artist that she is today. Adina has conquered the highs and lows within the music industry having her work featured between albums on soundtracks such as Woo ( T-Shirt & Panties), Thin Line Between Love and Hate (Damned if I Do), Sunset Park (For the Funk ), and alongside Warren G with a re-make of a classic on the platinum soundtrack for Supercop ( What's Love Got To Do With It). Now the R&B vixen is back with her highly anticipated third album, Private Show. As with all of her work Adina's latest work fuses a message of empowering the sensuality of women with R&B funk laden tracks, sure to make party-goers get up and dance. The strategy behind releasing Private Show is to `remind the world' where she came from....that sexy, provocative artist that is always on the edge , `pushing the envelope', `shocking the industry'. Adina is a trailblazer, then and now. She will always set the pace for the industry. The LP is laced with up-tempos, fun, high-energy dance records that will bring the world of djs, clubs and radio together. The LP mixes in mids and ballads, all showcasing yet another side of Adina Howard beyond that of sex, play, bump and grind. Yes, another side of Adina Howard, uncut and raw, even seemingly vulnerable...shocking. Adina Howard has a message to women, one of strength, confidence and independence. It is an empowering message that can and will make a difference. One thing is for sure, Adina's music has a message and she delivers it with a certain savior-faire that is necessary to make a positive impact and make a difference in music. In short, she is a trailblazer, whose image and message have been misinterpreted by many, and it is this very image and message from which her strength as an artist comes from. Audiences are in for a treat with this album, which shows Adina as a more viable, compassionate, empowering force not to be tested on the charts. Expect the unexpected with this artist, whose down to earth, yet confident persona is definitive of the true Adina. Confidence combined with class, upscale mentality, wit and sex appeal and you have Adina Howard.

First off i have been listening to adinda since i was in seventh grade and loved the cd. I had to but several copies because when my mom seen the cover for the cd she threw it away (couple times). Then i was dissapointed that her second cd was released overseas and could not get it for several years but when i did i really enjoyed it. Then the second coming came out and thought it was hard!!! The first song was the jam!!! Then on myspace i found her and also found out that she had a new cd coming out and was so excited. I just recently got private show of amazon and have to admit she is at her best, the beats are up to date, she still has the queen sexiness to her and is still keepin' it gangsta!!! I'm glad that the radio don't over expose her music because most radio stations tend to do that. And this cd is a promise that ms adina will b around 4 awhile.

I actually think that she didn't have anymore left but i'm really impressed with this cd! I bought the first one when i was in middle school and I fell in love with here but not enough to keep buying but i'm glad that I ran across this one. She's no Cherokee but she is still coming strong with her music

Once again, mainstream success eluded her because record label buractratic red tape. None of the two official singles "L.O.V.A." and "Hips" attained airplay because there was no promotion. This album is another sure fire entertainer because the songwriting, vocals and production are solid! I don't like the production of the original version of "Hips." However, I love the "Grown and Sexy Remix." The other songs such as "Tease", "Like Me", "Picture This", "L.O.V.A.", and the albums' only ballad, "I Forgive You" showcase Adina's vocal skill and charisma. If you have not gotten "Private Show" yet, I urge you to because you will love it!
