"Superb from beginning to end. It is my prayer that this wonderful addition to soulful music will receive the airplay and accolades it deserves."

One of her best albums!

"I was so happy to hear that Stephanie Mills returned with this album, on her own terms. She sounds so good on these songs. Most of the album consists of ballads, with a few funky numbers in the middle. Producers like Eddie Lighty and the pair of producers she called the Mtume and Lucas of 2004 gave her some very nice songs. Even the songs that Stephanie wrote are personal and well stated. Not since her '80, '87, '89 and '92 albums have I've been impressed with her singing and music. She is truly born for this!"

A Failed Attempt

""Born For This" was supposed to be Mills' comeback album. Up to this point, she had not recorded an R&B/Pop album in over 10 years so people were expecting Stephanie to return in a big way. Sadly, it did not happen.



The CD faired very modestly on the Billboard R&B charts, peaking at #25, while a single release failed to chart at all. Sadly, the album missed the Pop charts altogether. While Mills was in fine voice throughout this disc, every song she was given to sing was pure rubbish, nothing befitting of a vocalist of her legendary status. I was very saddened and disappointed to see her reduced to this. Mills has not resurfaced with any new material since this disc. I hope next time around, she is able to find a label who will put her with producers willing to supply her with quality material. My advice to anyone thinking of purchasing this disc is to SKIP IT. This is, by far, the worst album in Stephanie's discography."
