Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars one of my favourite r&b albums.......2007-01-20

I purchased this album and brandy's self-titled debut around the same time and was playing them all the time. While I prefer brandy overall, this album was pretty good. I love monica's beautiful voice and it fit really well with the r&b tunes on here, which contained splashes of new jack swing, hip hop and funk. Before You Walk Out Of My Life and Why I Love You So Much were singles and among some of her best ones. Dont Take It Personal and Like This & Like That were big r&b hits in 1995 and were uptempo and radio friendly. A song that stood out to me was Skate, which would have made her an even bigger star, it's a feel-good dance/disco song for the dancefloor. Another highlight is tell me if you still care, which is a remake of the SOS Band hit, and it was remade way better than when janet jackson and mariah carey sampled it, I'd take monica's remake over those other two. The remaining is mostly ballads and they totally match her voice and are melodic & smooth like butter. R&B teen music ruled in the mid 90's, but now girls are all about being slutty and trying to have sex appeal instead of letting the music speak for itself the way these young stars did back in the 90's. At the time of this album, she did several other songs that are worth checking out: a song for the nutty professor soundtrack, and a beautiful ballad, For You I Will for the Space Jam soundtrack. When I first heard the latter, I thought it was a new whitney houston song and was pleasantly surprised when I learned that it was Monica. Also check out Boy Is Mine, she shows a lot of maturity on that album, but it's more pop than r&b like this debut.

5 out of 5 stars Still the best of her four albums (and she was only 14 when she made it).......2007-01-18

Back in 1995, there were some high expectations of then-14-year old Monica. This album certainly meets and exceeds them. "Don't Take It Personal (Just One Of Dem Days)" is a 90s old school classic, as is the slightly uptempo ballad "Before You Walk Out Of My Life". Though not a charting hit, "Skate" is also a great song that really should be played at skating centers.

4 out of 5 stars Remember this?.......2006-07-23

Remember this? Back when R&B still had some actual MELODY instead of that lazy "thug" droning that now permeates the airwaves?

4 out of 5 stars Another Example of "Age Ain't Nothing But a Number".......2006-07-02

Actually I gave 4.5 Stars. When I listened to this debut for the first time,I really doubted whether she was only 14 years old,cuz Monica's vocal showed mature talent indeed...I like every track in the album, which always lets me feel so comfortable...A pretty good work of modern R&B!

BTW,I think that Monica should leave Missy,which maybe is the most important thing for her...

5 out of 5 stars Just one of dem old school days.......2006-04-21

Monica's debut album was really hot, each song of this ambum is nice and reminds me of the Old School days when R&B was better. It's been almost 11 years since it was released and it still sounds great, this album is a true classic.
This girl has had talent since an early age (15), although her voice still changed respect "The boy is mine" and "After the storm". She's an underrated singer with a precious voice
