Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Raven-Symoné has literally grown up before our eyes. The multi-talented, multi- hyphenate entertainment powerhouse was all of two when she captured our hearts on "The Cosby Show." Since then, whether it's on TV, in film or in the studio Raven-Symoné has continued to evolve and push herself creatively.

You can feel and hear that on Raven-Symoné's new, self-titled CD (Hollywood Records). Featuring some of R&B/hip-hop's hottest producers including Eric Hudson, Sean Garrett (Fergie, Beyonce) The J.A.M. (Leona Lewis) and the Clutch (Keri Hilson/Timbaland, Ciara); Raven-Symoné's fourth album, is fun, funky, feisty, smart and reflective. From emotional ballads to banging hip-hop/R&B Raven-Symoné is all about an artist opening up her heart and soul, taking chances and becoming her own woman. "I've got songs with substance. I'm not just some pop princess doing sweet tooth music. Everything that I've ever done is all about growth," Raven-Symoné says. "If you want to use the analogy that life is like high school then this is my senior album, I'm still only 22, but sometimes I feel much more older and then it's like I'm still 15, " she laughs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Disney? Nahh., April 29, 2008

By	Trevor (USA) - See all my reviews

Unfortunately, Raven-Symoné is always automatically slapped with a 'Disney artist' label because of her past associations with the company. This is understandable, but it's time people move past that..and she is making just that statement with her fourth studio album, 'Raven-Symoné'. The album is full of uptempo R&B club bangers like "What Are You Gonna Do?", "Green", and "Girl Get It", as well as well-crafted pop/R&B ballads like "Anti-Love Song" and "Love Me or Leave Me", which surprisingly adds a little rock tinge to the chorus. While some of the songs come off as unnecessarily arrogant, you can tell it's all sang in good fun and aimed to make the record an overall party album. Raven has pulled just that off.

5.0 out of 5 stars Raven-Symoné Brings 'it' on New Album!, April 29, 2008

By	BJay "BJay" (Hilliard, OH) - See all my reviews

Raven-Symoné's new album will definitely shock the ears of her fans, and of people who have doubt in her, saying that she is "too Disney," or aims for a "younger crowd."
Raven works with Producers like Sean Garrett (Beyoncé), Kwame, Oak of the Knightwritaz, The J.A.M., and a bunch more!
The songs on the album make you feel good, sure, their are many songs you can dance to, there is only one song that is slow called "Hollywood Life," which is a great song!
Overall, I would give the album an 'A-', it is so much better than Symoné's 2004 "This Is My Time."

BEST TRACKS:
All of them....HONESTLY!
