Title: Le Sigh....I just don't get the hype
Review: OK, "Torn" is a somewhat acceptable lead single, but what were the producers thinking when they crafted this middling, forgettable album? I think everyone is so caught up in the DC hype, and the additional hype of this having debuted at No.1 on the Billboard Hot 100, that they forgot the basis of a good album - the MUSIC.Of which there is none to be found here. Granted, LeToya definitely sounds better than most R&B; vocalists out there today (her desperate need to emulate Mary J.Blige is a little obvious though), but the material lets her down. The song "Obvious" is a wonderful showcase for her vocal abilities but then the rest of the album drowns itself in the common references to pimps, ice and clubs. I am so tired of that whole thing, seriously.LeToya is a novelty item in the market right now, thats about it. Does anyone seem themselves playing this five years down the line? I think not.Mildly recommended.
Is the review positive or negative?
