"This CD is sexy. I can't believe I haven't heard about her more. I discovered her from the movie High Crimes and loved the music she sang. There is not a song on it I don't like. This is also great dinner music for a romantic evening or with friends."

"Overall, this is a very nice effort. Her vocals are unique and very strong. I love the incorporation of many sounds, including jazz, into R&B/hip hop. I really respect Lina for that and she was one of the, if not the first, to do it.



There are still a few flaws. One or two of the songs sound very similar and her raps are a little irritating since they are on the majority of the tracklisting. The profanity here really is a minus, but I have the clean version. Despite those little complaints, I would definitely recommend you buying this, especially at this cheap price.



(By the way, in the UK she released this album with a very different tracklisting and a different cover. Buy this one. It is much cheaper and the tracks that were left off here but were put on the UK version aren't very exciting.)

"....cuz LINA got it.



TRAX 2, 3, 4, 5 AND 6....SO DOPE!



The selection of instruments she uses (especially in 3) makes the album so distinctive.



The album is more (in my opinion)..sultry (most kutz) than "INNER BEAUTY MOVEMENT'...my favorite of the two...which is still all good.



The way she combined different ingredients of music--(hip-hop beats, a small amount of rap, and that 1930's radio-only sound)...is amazing becuz it all fits perfectly. GENIUS.



Although there is a bit of profanity in the one I purchased...it is very limited...and tolerable.



I think my CD has a blank spot on track 3 becuz when the sun iz shining and I put my top down---dat beat makes me wanna ride all night long.



Look--LOL...summa' yall might not be old enuff for her musik style yet...cause she iz bringin' it...and I mean HARD.



No "drop it like it's hot"...and the infamous (not yet written) "can I lick yo' gold-teeth daddy..."



Just straight-up, good 'A' (you know what I'm talkin' bout grown folks)...MUSIC....



Ahhhhh...Life is finally getting back to normal."
