Free Music Notes for Boy Is Mine

Free Music Review: She could say "The talent is mine, The hit album is mine"
Hit: 5 Stars

There are more single-named R&B girls then there are people in the state of Rhode Island. Brandy, Toya, Aaliyah, Tweet, Olivia, Ashanti, the list goes on. Some are good, others bad, but the one of the best (with the most angelic voice) is Monica. It's refreshing to see someone naturally sing alto. Monica always keeping the vocal ball rolling. Through my favorites such as the old-school R&B feel to "The First Night" to the classy mid-tempo song with full orchestra of "Street Symphony". The album changes itself up enough to keep the whole CD interest. The only downside is songs like "Ring Da Bell" and "Misty Blue" are only carried by Monica's vocals due to weak beats, which can leave you bored if you prefer uptempo dance numbers. The CD will never loose you despite. Here my review of the album's songs:

1. Street Symphony - Beautifully crafted. Full orchestra blended with R&B beats and Monica's great voice make this song a perfect 10. 10/10

2. The Boy Is Mine (Duet with Brandy) - Monica and Brandy sound great together. No one tries to out sing each other, but they both keep solid vocals. 9/10

3. Ring Da Bell - The song is kinda of catchy, but Monica is really trying her best to hold this semi-weak song together. 7/10

4. The First Night - This is the perfect example of how R&B should be done. Has an irrestitble beat. And another reason I like Monica, She's got morals. 10/10

5. Misty Blue - This could have been sung accapella because the background wasn't helping. 6.5/10

6. Angel Of Mine - This is one of the ultimate ballads; a lot of people and their boyfriend/girlfriend have this song for their song. Brings a smile to your face. 10/10

7. Gone Be Fine feat. Outkast - She teams up with Outkast here to bring more hip-hop favor to it. It worked. 8.5/10

8. Inside - A decent song but you'll notice that the song is pretty cliched. 7/10

9. Take Him Back - The best non-single song on the CD. Vibe runs along the lines of "Street Symphony" but spinned so it have a fresh sound to it. 9.5/10

10. Right Here Waiting - Can hold the same title "Take Him Back". So many good songs, only limited number of songs can be singles. Gorgeious song. 9.5/10

11. 'Cross The Room - A poppy dance song. Monica and the background dance don't quite fit with the background but not bad overall. 8/10

12. I Keep It To Myself - Similar to track 8, a little more work could have made this song better. 7.5/10

13. For You I Will - Of all my CDs, this one ended the best way. Monica showcases her divine voice along with beautifully written lyrics. 10/10

Time is no factor for this album. I didn't listen to the album in so long and now that I did again I know why I bought it. Other CDs I have given away because they have a playing life like a gallon of milk. If you like Monica for her uptempo dance songs like "The First Night" you should give Aaliyah's AALIYAH or Toya's TOYA a chance, But if you love her smooth voice on song you can groove to try Brandy's FULL MOON or Faith Evans' FAITHFULLY. My eyes and ears are open for a next album.

Boy Is Mine Poster

24bit K2 digitally remastered Japanese limited edition special issue of the album classic. Includes the bonus tracks "First Nite" (So So Def Mix) and Razor N.Mix.
Brandy may have scored the first hit with the infectious catfight "The Boy Is Mine," but make no mistake: Monica owns that song. In the battle of the cute teenage soul songbirds, Monica Arnold wins hands down because she can sing her ass off and because she has better songs. Monica's corner includes the vastly underrated producer Dallas Austin, who kicks in with edgy, moody cuts like "Street Symphony," a cautionary tale set to an orchestral groove, and "Ring da Bell," which plain-out flows. Unfortunately, this being the big-bucks world of '90s R&B, Monica is also saddled with de rigueur Diane Warren-David Foster exercises in ersatz soul and overwrought hokum. Why anyone would want to remake Richard Marx's "Right Here Waiting" is a mystery, but let's just say that Monica also has the smarts to cover Dorothy Moore's classic remake of the adult ballad "Misty Blue," thereby evening the score a bit. It's a tribute to Monica's voice, a womanly alto of real shading and substance, that she can transform schlock into something that comes close to emotion. All of which makes The Boy Is Mine easy on the ears and secures Monica's further ascension. --Amy Linden
