Album Spotlight: Monica - The Boy Is Mine

-
I don't know what people were surprised more by; Monica's decision to name her second album; "The Boy Is Mine" or her duet of the same name with Brandy. Monica would later explain that Clive David was responsible for the album title thus throwing a little shade Brandy's way. There were the rumors that the singers didn't get along. There was the debate as to who the best singer was and so forth. Luckily for both women; they both succeeded. "The Boy Is Mine" is probably Monica's most mainstream and commercial album thus far.

The album was responsible for numerous number one hits including "Angel Of Mine", "The First Night", and the title track. By this time Monica was no stranger to hitting number one since she hit quite a few times prior to this album and after this album.

The album opens with the unforgettable "Street Symphony" produced by Dallas Austin who handles a lot of the production here. One of my personal favorites though is "Ring Da Bell" which deals with infidelity and the way the song unfolds is what I truly like about it. There is also the slow jam "I Keep It To Myself" and the grooving "'Cross The Room". It truly is something for everyone on this album and Monica does a great job with the material she is presented with.

If you haven't checked out this album; you definitely should!

You all, my readers, my visitors; my supporters; you have made this post one of the most successful posts on my blog. I kept wondering what it was about this post, that made it so successful; one word: JANET! The fact that Janet has new music on the way makes this post even more of a hot topic. As its been said before, no one sings about sex quite like Janet Jackson. Her songs, ooze with the right amount of sexuality perfect for a night of steamy sex. Take a look back at a number of songs Janet is responsible for delivering her in trademark breathy delivery. I took the liberty of adding a few other songs that didn't make the list before.  "Warmth" This song begins with echos of Janet saying "...in my mouth". By then you should already know what this song is about. Janet sings about the "warmth" of her mouth and how she pleases her lover; Jermaine Dupri at the time. This is a very sensual song and it is one of the most explicit Janet has ever record
