Free Music Review: She's not Just Another Girl
Hit: 5 Stars

The CD starts with "I'm Back," a song that samples Notorious B-I-G's "hypnotize." I have to admit, although the chorus is extremely catchy, the song sounds too familiar to "hypnotize." This is probably the weakest track on the album. You then have her first single off this album, the title track "All Eyez on Me." This songs samples Michael Jackson's "PYT" (Pretty Young Thing). I love this song. I can hear it over and over. It's a great dance song that really gets you going. You'll even get to hear Monica and Michael Jackson battle it out in the very end of the song. "U Should've Known" follows. This song has *hit* written all over it. This is a great R&B ballad-esque upbeat song. The next song, "Too Hood" features Jermaine Dupri. Its a catchy upbeat song, but doesn't really show Monica's vocals. "I wrote this song" is a beautifully written song (Monica wrote it, along with the majority of the songs in this album) about her best friend/ex-lover's suicide. It's a sad song, but since its not exactly a traditional ballad, you'll find yourself singing along to it and possibly even dancing to it! The next song "U Deserve" samples Tupac's "Hail Mary." I love this song so much. It has this reggae sound to it. There's a great rap in the middle as well. Monica's voice sounds so mature in this song. The following song, however, is undoubtedly my favorite on the album--"Breaks my Heart." Monica has never sounded better. This song is so full of soul. Monica really lets it all out on this one. "Ain't Gonna Cry No More" is such a great upbeat song. You'll find it hard to get this track out of your head. This song, in my opinion, sounds a little reggae as well. If anything, this album really shows Monica's diverse talents. She really can sing *anything.* The next song, "If U Were the Girl" asks Monica's man what he would do if she were the one coming home late every night and spending all of her time in the clubs with her friends. Another great uptempo song that really shows Monica's famous sassy attitude. "What Hurts the Most" is really the only traditional ballad on the album. There are other ballad-type songs, but this is the only one that follows the ballad formula. It really stands out. You'll find yourself reminded of Monica's sultry voice in "For You I Will." All Monica fans have always wanted Monica to sing a gospel song. She finally does on this album. "Searchin'" in such a beautifully written song with such a great message. Monica's vocals prove perfect for the gospel genre (a task not all R&B singers are capable of). The last two songs on the album are previously unreleased LP tracks (although "Just Another Girl" was featured on the "Down to Earth" soundtrack; and the video for the song can be found on the DVD as well). "Just Another Girl" is a great upbeat song that can be sung by no one else but Monica. Monica makes this song her own. You'll definitely enjoy this one. The last song on the album, "What My Heart Says" still gives me goosebumps. Monica sang this song for the MTV movie "Love Song." Wow! That's really the only way I can describe it. Her voice is so deep and so soulful in this song. She really lets loose again on this song. Flawless song, penned by Dianne Warren.

Japan had the upper hand this time. You really should invest on this CD. Monica does not disappoint.
