Title: overproduced and overrated
Product review: This hit record is as good an example as any of everything that is wrong with contemporary r&b; while there is no question that Monica has singing talent, it's all for naught here. The two big problems here are (1.) the production, which like so much else these days, is over done to the point of being much less appetizing than it might be, and (2.) the songs, which are hokey, cliched, and the product of a write-a-hit-song-by-the-numbers approach. It's a pity, because had this young talent been born a generation earlier, and been recording songs by great talents like Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye, and been accompanied by more soulful musicians, who knows what she might have been capable of. Greatness, perhaps.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
