Coko - Hot Coko (12 tracks) +Album Reviews

Good cd, same sounds

12/26/1999

(4 out of 5 stars)

""Hot Coko" is a good debut from former SWV lead vocalist Coko. The album offers traditional R&B tracks such as "Bigger Than We" and "Everytime" and nice fast uptempo songs like "Triflin'" and "Don't Take Your Love Away". Although some of the songs are quite original, they still have similar topics like most songs, but despite the repetition, it is still a good album. Coko has great vocals and nice production, most of which provided by super-producer Rodney Jerkins. If you're looking for a nice R&B album, then "Hot Coko" is a good choice."

Overlooked and Underrated.

"When Coko's solo debut, "Hot Coko," was released in the summer of 1999, it was all but ignored by the very listeners who made SWV's three studio albums platinum successes. That's rather strange, since this is an overall solid album that has as much bang as any of Coko's hits with the now-defunct all-girl group. With production from Rodney Jerkins and Brian Alexander Morgan, "Hot Coko" delivers a fine mix of contemporary r&b. The hit single "Sunshine" is an upbeat love song produced by Jerkins, while Eve hops on as a guest for "Trifilin'." And Coko makes her feelings abundantly clear to a soon-to-be-ex in "I Ain't Feelin' You." There are a couple ballads that drag along, failing to come up with a slow jam as winning as 1993's "Weak." Still, this disc deserves a second chance to be heard. It won't change the future of r&b, but it's a lot better than much of the slicked-up dreck that often clogs up the airwaves."

True R&B

"I think that this is a very well thought out album. Of course, it does not have all the catchy beats and crazy lyrics for those into the groups like Destiny's Child, but what it does have is a very talented artist. Coko brings out the real R&B in music. That's what she has always done. Her voice is good enough to carry the album without the wild beats. I garuntee that you will be singing these songs all day once you hear the album. Get it! It's hot!"

So hard to say goodbye

"This is one of the best new female solo R+B joints to drop for 99. The bad thing is that she isn't getting the promo she should have...it's almost like no one knows....but they do. For those who don't...let me tell u what your missing: Hot coko is coko's debeut as a solo artist from the group SWV. She was the most heard voice in the group so it's almost as if she never left the group ....but almost that the group left her. The tracks here are blazing from the start. The intro with her son calling her......up to the last song will have u singing along or at least trying if not pressing repeat to hear it again. The best cuts here are: 1,2,3,4,5,6,8,10,. Overall every track is good and u might have this in your car for a while. The track "You and me" has a beat that goes from fast to slow that will grab u from the time it starts. It also has some smooth jams here like 10, and 5 that should be one of her next singles. The lyrics show where coko is right now...and u can see what shes says coming from her. This cd is Hot!....and before this coko cools off...best thing to do is listen while it's hot....which should be a while....once u listen u will see what i'm talking about.Don't think about it.....Get it!"
