"Mikaila, whose debut album is scheduled to be released in a few months, is the next big thing for pop female vocalists. I bought the single on a gamble, having never even heard the song before, and boy, was I pleasantly surprised! Besides the great songs, which alone would make it worth your money, the enhanced version makes this the best CD on this side of pop singles. The first is the title track "So in Love With Two," the concept of which Mikaila helped come up with herself. The title is a little corny to me, but the song itself is cute and upbeat. While pure pop, it's not sugar-coated-it's got a bit of an R&B edge to it. It fits her age right now, too. At fourteen, she doesn't need to be crooning for men to "stay the night," but a song about having a crush on two different boys completely works for her. By the way, the lyrics are included.The second is "The Art of Letting Go." A very lovely ballad which proves that Mikaila can sing both slow and fast songs. My only slight complaint is that the theme *does* seem a tad old for her...but if you consider the extremes of emotions teenage girls tend to face at a break-up, it's really not too adult, after all.The last is a Hex Hector remix of "So in love with two." It's almost nine minutes long, not to mention entirely awesome. Fast songs have a tendency to remix better than slow songs, but even they can be off a little. This one isn't. The vocal sampling is well done and the beat doesn't try to overpower the song. Very danceable and very catchy.The songs alone would be worth the money, but the enhanced CD is great-minus the annoying "clickme" that starts automatically when you pop the CD in. It features a cartoon Mikaila dancing, which is cute-but a word of warning that if your computer is slow, your screen might freeze up. ^_^; Otherwise, dance away... It opens to a screen that has a link to her website, a biography, and a few pictures of her. (Speaking of pictures, did I mention the decal that comes with the single?) As for music, there's a Spanish and a Spanglish version of the song, the latter being what it sounds like, a mix of Spanish and English words. A little weird, but hey, the Japanese do it all the time. *laugh*The best part of the enhanced CD to me, though, is the interview with Mikaila. It's ten minutes long and not only features questions that show her personality, but has snippets of songs from her upcoming album. They are "Playground," "Perfect World," and "Straight to My Face." If she times the releases right, they're all top 40 worthy, possibly even top 10. They are all upbeat, and while I love "So in love with two," these are even better. I can't wait to get her album and hear the full version.If you like female pop vocalists, you'll like Mikaila. The girl's got talent. Her style is closest to Britney's, but yes, she does distinguish herself. Honestly, if you're a fan of any of the teen queens out there right now, I can't imagine you not liking Mikaila. Don't be scared to buy the single...you won't be disappointed."

"Another catchy toon from yet another new teen pop sensation Mikaila. This single is incredile, and what impresses me most about it, is that Mikaila who is 14 co-wrote this song. For a 14 year old this girl knows how to sing. Track Listing:1.) So in love with two (Album Version) 3:25 = Her album has not been released yet but will be soon, so I'll reference this track as the original version that everyone has heard on the radio. I'm sure most of you can relate to this song, so have you people have probably been torn between two relationships. Even if you are not out for this song because it is meaningful, it is still a fun song that has a great beat and catchy lyrics. This song is really cool because guy's could probably relate to it to, so it is somewhat of a unisex song, however in one of the verses she says "he's", but it is only announced once so you can allway's think of it as a she. This song has a great R&B beat, for those of you who havn't heard this track.2.)The art of letting go (3:53) = This is a great ballad, it has not been released as a single, but as a track on this single, so that you can hear what Makaila is all about. Great ballad, nothing is sampled off of it, so it is pretty original. 3.) So In Love With Two (Hex Hector Club Mix) 8:55 = I am not a person who is fond of long remixes, however this one is incredible. Hex Hector remixed Jennifer Lopez's song, "Waiting For Tonight" and I thought he couldn't beat a remix as good as that, well he proved me wrong. I am actually fond of this remix a lot. The beginning of this remix does not start out slow, it is just instrumental beats that lead into the remix for about 1 minute. The remix is great continuously out the song, however there is a mid-section pause that is incredible and will catch your attention. 4.) Bonus Material (enhanced portion) = hey people pop this CD into your computer and hey, there are more tracks. There is a Spanish and Spanglish version of "So in Love With Two" that I know you will just love. Also, there is a little cartoon like thing on it, which is not the video, but just a little cartoon. This single also come with the lyrics in the enhanced portion and behind the CD cover.People, give a chance to a new singer, with a soon to be hit single, that is just incredible. Buy this CD, because it is ultimately fun, and the song is enjoyable. Makaila is the best new singer out there!"
