Advantages good
Disadvantages none

...I think MYA is a brilliant singer, and her album 'FEAR OF FLYING' is really good. It's named this as MYA says its about trusting yourself and taking a leap into the unknown. MYA has her very own make up range named after her and she uses it herself. MYA's song 'CASE OF THE EX' went to number3 in Februray I found this song alright but her new song 'FREE' is even better, it should get to number1. MYA has got to number1 with PINK, MISSY ELLIOTT, CHRISTINA AGUILERA and LIL' KIM singing 'LADY MARMALADE' taken from the film 'MOULIN ROUGE'.

Her ability to blend her voice from rap to soul works perfectly when she matches her talent with the rhymes of Jadakiss, Beenie Man and Left Eye on a number of tracks. From the uplifting Case Of The Ex to the ragga tinged Lie Detector and the heart tugging... Read review

Advantages some great songs
Disadvantages some dull songs

..."Moodring" was, for me at least, the long-awaited follow-up to Mya's previous album, "Fear Of Flying". Since she released her previous album and the two hits from it "Case of the Ex" and "Free", Mya had found a bit more fame worldwide as one quarter of the "Lady Marmalade" song, along with Pink, Lil' Kim and Christina Aguilera. In theory, this should really have made her solo return a bit more obvious but this album had been out for quite a few months before I even realised she had released one! (Much to my shame. :-(!!!) "Moodring" showcases a style very similar to that of Mya's previous album - in other words, a blend of pop, r&b and soul. So what of the songs? Well, here's my pick of the best . . . My Love is Like Wo - It's a bit of a strange one, sounding almost disjointed at times, but it is still a slick and catchy piece... Read review
