Title: Hard Kandi
Product review: When it comes to writing about drama in young-adult relationships, no lyricist comes close to Kandi Burruss these days. Songs like TLC's "No Scrubs," Destiny's Child's "Bills, Bills, Bills," and Mariah Carey's "X-Girlfriend" will make you nod your head in agreement or make you wince. Her frank and honest lyrics don't beat around the bush, and they show that Kandi herself may have had her share of drama in relatiosnhips. I bought the album, hoping she would expand a bit and reach beyond the "my-man-is-a-loser" lyrics. The album's true gem is "Don't Think I'm Not," which is about a scorned lover who gets revenge on a cheating man by "getting hers," too. But after a half-dozen like songs that whine about "how-my-trifiling-man-did-me-wrong," things get one-dimensional and predictable really fast. One has to wonder how she even ends up with these men in the first place. In any case, she may call herself Kandi, but this debut CD is hardly a confection.
