"When I first heard "What are you waiting for" I was definitely unimpressed, I've never liked RnB songs sung over someone else's rhythm(Love TKO, Teddy Pendegrass). So I slept on Phajja for a whole year+ until the day I heard "So long". Still I didn't know that was them but hey that song got me so worked up I had to find out and it was the Phajja I slept on before. Now I've listened to the album over and over again and am convinced, these ladies can sing. I'm sure that they can do a lot better than they did in this album in terms of the singing. However, the album is very consistent throughout and for a first outing I think it's way up there with the very best I've got. Songs that immediately come to mind are "I need you"(great harmony,btw), "Never be hurt again"(excellent 2 drive 2), "Sad story"(depressing but well done), "So long"(got me hooked) and "What are you waiting for"(All out vocal performance) - I think they gave their all on that song, even though I initially didn't like it. One little gripe I have about the album is the length, it is way too short at just 47min. Overall I'd rate it a strong 4+ mainly because I feel they could've given it that lil' bit extra."

Five STARS for : So long, well , well!

"If "So long~" is a reflection of the trio's album. Then Damn! Them sisters are going places. This song showcases one of the rarest vocal combination in female group R&B. Wanted 2 give U 5 stars ladies, but wait till I listen 2 the whole album ~ So long, well, well. This song just hits some nerve cords never touched in my brain. I'm losing my sanity."
