Album Reviews
Twenty-two-year-old Philadelphian Ms. Jade is closely associated with Timbaland, who produced nine tracks on her debut record, Girl Interrupted, and put it out on his Beat Club label, which is affiliated with Interscope. Ms. Jade definitely benefits from Timbaland's signature, laid-back beats. She also has plenty of rap's heavy-hitters making appearances, including Jay-Z, Missy Elliott, and Nate Dogg. Ms. Jade doesn't get nasty à la Lil' Kim or Foxy Brown, and thanks to Timbaland's skills, there are some good songs here, including "Really Don't Want My Love," where Ms. Jade sounds inspired when tearing up an ex-boyfriend, "Big Head," a fun, danceable tune with a silly chorus, and "Dead Wrong," where Nate Dogg steals the spotlight as usual with his soulful vocals, which seem to make for instant radio hits. ~ Adam Bregman, All Music Guide

Right Now Akon |
| The guy whose career has been built upon memories of prison redemption, naming his first albums "Trouble" and "Konvicted," returns on a "more law-abiding" and positive note, choosing "Freedom" as his third effort's title. In only a few years Akon has grown to reach World Music Award status as the best selling male in the planet, and even when the accuracy of those honours may be debatable, one cannot stop wondering the reason why he is so popular: maybe his irritatingly high-pitched vocals, sounding like they've been treated with a vocoder, without real need for one; or maybe is the vague echoes of his childhood in Senegal mixed with an unremarkable R&B and hip-hop style; or rather his ability to deliver devilish gimmicks and painfully repetitive choruses? Whatever it is, in "Right Now" he fully delivers it once more: simple, effective and guaranteed to sell by the buckets. | |
