Monica

“THE MAKINGS OF ME”

RATING: 3 SOUND LEVELS

Monica has been through a lot–the birth of a son and an allegedly rocky relationship with G-Unit member Young Buck–and you can feel it in the songs on her latest album. Monica tells off other women (“Sideline Ho”), runaway fiances who want to come back (“Hell No (Leave Home)”) and cheating lovers (“Why Her?”). The short disc is just enough to leave you wanting more, but Monica’s singing and sound are so good that you’ll be satisfied. If you are looking for a nice slice of R&B to chill with while you entertain guests, cook, clean or whatever, this is something you can dig.
