I... like her. Music of the Sun was an awesome album, but the midtempo reggae tracks were meh, but not bad at all. Just a bit... there.

I loved from that album....

Pon de Replay
If It's Lovin' That You Want
That La, La, La
The Last Time
Willing to Wait
Music of the Sun
Let Me
Rush
There's A Thug in My Life
(I was surprised because of the title... but the lyrics still creep me out. "When I see him tonight, I'm gonna give him everything.")
Now I know

The remix at the end just screws things up.


A Girl Like Me was... good, but not as great as her debut. Of the tracks, i liked/loved:

S.O.S.
Kisses Don't Lie
(Sometimes... other times it's very plodding)
We Ride
Final Goodbye
P.S. (I'm Still Not Over You)
A Girl Like Me
A Million Miles Away


Unfaithful... ehh. The music's good, but the lyrics SUCK so bad. They're so stupid. Not deep, not meaningful... stupid. You're cheating on your man and you hate that it's tearing him up inside ebcause he knows, you know he knows, you two don't speak of it. Dump him, or let him dump your ass, or stop cheating and work through it together, you stupid ho. Her voice is a bit reedy and it definitely doesn't work here and doesn't carry the required emotion.

The remix at the end is better than on her debut, but it still messes up the atmosphere set by A Million Miles Away. The reggae songs bored me to tears. You can't tell them apart!

Love the cover, though.
