 MORE MYA PLEASE! September 6, 2003

After receiving Moodring as a gift, I can honestly say that it is one of the best albums that I own, ranking with the likes of sophomore Destiny's Child album 'The Writing's On The Wall' and Kelis' 'Kaleidoscope'. Why? Well I'll tell you.brOK, OK, opening track 'My Love Is Like...Wo' is a travesty compared with some of the other tracks, and Mya certainly made a bad decision when choosing to release this. 'Fallen' is a lovely song, getting dark in places, and one of the best on the album. 'Why You Gotta Look So Good' sees Mya telling the superficial pain of leaving an incredibly attractive ex, and it's fab and highly original, with a star turn by rapper Lloyd Banks.br'Step', produced by Missy Elliott, sees Mya return to mainstream r'n'b. Not the best track but certainly not bad, a kind of club song for a Friday night out. 'Sophisticated Lady' is fresh, flirty and oh so naughty, and a contender for best track on the album, with lyrics like "and touching me's a felony", and "i'm your mamma, let's play house - when you're bad, you get time out".brThen we have 'No Sleep Tonight' and 'Anatomy 1On1' which are without doubt the weakest tracks on the album, dreary, and not dissimilar from something that Ashanti would try. Then comes the saviour 'Hurry Up', a sexy, original r'n'b track.br'Things Come And Go' (feat. Sean Paul) is the most refreshing thing I've heard in a long time, a cheesy reggae song, the kind you love but you keep quiet about it! 'Late' sees Mya worrying about pregnancy (a top track), 'Whatever Bitch' is the dance track, with Mya, well, cracking down on a girl in a club who wants to cramp her style.brThere are too many songs on the album to mention them all, but the other standout is 'Moodring' which is saucy, sultry and tinged with a whole gothic, old-fashioned sound in both the music and Mya's singing.brSo 'Moodring', Mya's third album, should elevate her to the ranks of the r'n'b superstars, and r'n'b lovers everywhere, I urge you to buy this. From funked out start to funked out finish, I guarantee you that this will be the freshest thing you'll hear all year.

Since her infectious debut hit "Ghetto Superstar" with Pras ODB in '98, Mya has gone from strength to strength in both production and vocal quality. On "Moodring", Mya is so unbeleivably confident, especially in comparison to her self titled debut and "Fear Of Flying" and it is so obviously reflected in her new music.pThe lead-off track and the first single taken from the new album-"My Love Is Like...Wo" includes tight production from Missy Elliott herself and without too much intervention the music is upbeat and ready-to-dance-to and the lyrics are catchy and confidence-ridden including phrases like "my body's like...wo" "will you come and spend the night".pFollowing this are strings of cleverly and carefully selected guest appearances from Lloyd Banks of G-Unit on fab hip-hop anthem "Why You Gotta Look So Good?" and Gunz on "Hurry Up", which is also neatly produced by the fabulous DJ Clue Duro. Other stand out tracks are "Step", "Sophisticated Lady" the unusual "Take A Picture", which includes rare production from none other than P!nk.pBut honestly, the most outstanding track on the album is the delicous reggae-influenced "Things Come Go", an alternative and beautiful kind of love song which totally credits both Sean Paul and Mya's vocals. All in all , Mya has grown into a talented producer, writer and composer and holds all of the cards with this album. If she gets "Things Come Go" on our airwaves she could be seeing alot of success because it's gonna be a massive summer hit.

Some know her as "that chick from Lady Marmalade."pSome know her as "that Case of the Ex" girl.pOthers, however, know her as "that Sophisticated Lady who'll sexually harass you."pHowever you know her, she's turning into another persona on Moodring - a sassy, smart-mouthed woman with a confident, brassy sex drive and a fondness for profanity. (Profanity is always good)pAnd she also seems to habe a quick ear for catchy RB cuts that'll pretty much satisfy anyone who listens. Possibly. Hopefully. Maybe.pGranted, a lot of what we get on here is standrad RB - from the slow, bold, summery groove of My Love Is Like... Wo! to the pseudo-tropical, pseudo-circus-y, midtempo-dancehall beat of Things Come And Go (which features Sean Paul muttering incoherently - as usual) to the revenge-seeking Taste This, which rides on a brooding, moody beat and some great piano and venomous vocals...p...but Mya throws a few curveballs here and there that will make you realize that her love, her sex, and her ass aren't the only things that are "Like... wo!" No, folks, she knows how to sit up and make us listen: There's the soft-rock/RB fusion for Fallen (single #2) which glides in unexppectedly (but not unwelcome), the pseudo-pop/folk Take A Picture (which sounds vaguely similar to some of the more guitar-laden material off Kelly Clarkson's debut) which gently rolls along like a quiet, thoughtful ride down a country road, and the hilarious, Everyone Valley Girl-ish club anthem, Whatever Bitch - Mya's got sass, there's no doubt about that. pAnd with Take A Picture, two more absolute gems come in gracefull - the sassy, horn-blaring, funky Sophisticated Lady, which has this sophisticated lady claiming that she'll sexually harass you (oh, dear) - all the while effortlessly re-working Paula Abdul's Vibeology (even if she doesn't mean to - but I love Vibeology, so hey) throughout...pAnd then her slight re-tread of Tom Petty's classic smash, Free Fallin' - with re-worked lyrics, and a sound I'd kill for: Lite, sunny gopsel-esque, upbeat, swirling around some great piano that'll put you right in front of a church pew, standing up and clapping and singing, and a gently-upbeat tempo... well, it's just incredible. And underrated. (So says I)pIt's rare that in RB there's an album as wonderful as this (...well, minus her head-scratching inclusion of the hideous Compared To What), but here you have it - a slight melting-pot-mix of various genres (soft rock, gospel, club, slow-techno, etc) complete with a beautiful voice backing it all up.pWho says Moodrings are out of fashion?

Mya's third effort, Moodring, is filled with catchy r'n'b tunes and some soulful, yet bouncy material. Here is the lowdown on each song:pMy Love Is Like...Wo: 9/10brA fantastic tune, catchy and great for clubs.pFallen:9.5/10brA beautiful mainstream r'n'b song showcasing Mya's light, mellow voice.One of the best songs on the album.pWhy You Gotta Look So Good?:8.3/10brGood song, probably would have done well as a single although not a highlight of the album.pStep:9.3/10brGreat song with attitude. Up there with Beyonce's "Crazy In Love" if not better than.pSophisticated Lady:7/10brHighly overrated song. Okay although nowhere near her best effort.pNo Sleep Tonight:8.4/10brCatchy song. Highly underrated.pAnatomy 1 On 1:7.8/10brA weak and rather typical r'n'b love song. Definitely not the best.pHurry Up:8.9/10brOne of my initial favourites although it has sort of grown off me.
