5.0 out of 5 stars Superb, July 28, 2004

What a voice. What solid musical arrangements. What a CD.

This is a solid urban project with a whole lotta soul that mercifully avoids a lot of the neo-soul musical cliches that have taken the luster from the genre within the past couple years. "Same Girl" is refreshing for this fact alone.

Producers and musicians: you are on point here. THANK YOU for the real instruments used on this project, something missing from so much of today's R&B.

But the real treat here is Trina's voice. How can I begin to describe it? It just flows all in and through these top-notch songs like hot caramel. She doesn't have to shout and go through all kind of acrobatics to be soulful. Her rich voice "speaks" for itself, if you will. A combo of Angie Stone and Chaka with a little Whitney thrown in is the best way I can describe Trina's sound, but she's still better heard than written about. Hopefully Amazon will have some sound clips up soon.

"Same Girl" is easily one of the best projects of 2004. Treat yourself to what will surely also be remembered as one of the best albums of the decade.

(Motown: please give this project the promotion it deserves...and while you're at it, re-release Trina's "Inside My Love" album and let us get a chance at that one, too!)

5.0 out of 5 stars Trina Broussard, "Same Girl", August 17, 2004

Lil' Jon remixes. Songs produced by and featuring Kanye West. Bonus and hidden tracks. Thankfully, NONE OF THOSE THINGS ARE ON THIS ALBUM! Just strictly R&B and soul from a gifted artist.

I actually heard Trina's first album that never came out, "Inside My Love" (in fact, 'Losing My Mind' was originally on that album as well as on here but in a different format). She had the goods but the songwriting wasn't as strong as it is on here. And you know you're in for a treat when the songs are produced, written and backed-up by Rahsaan Patterson, Van Hunt and Nicole Wray. No, that's not a typo, it is the same Nicole Wray who made 'Make It Hot' with Missy Elliott a while back, but no teenybopper sounds this time around. She sounds mature now; you can hear her in the background of 'I Never Thought'. As for Trina, she brings it raw on 'Just Another Way', 'Thinkin Boutcha', 'Dreaming of One'--well, all of the songs are good.

This album is on Motown Records, where it seems like your album won't get promoted if your first name isn't Erykah or India. But to whoever's interested, if you like artists like Syleena Johnson, you'll love this album.
