Title: "I Can't Let You Get The Best Of Me"
Review: On this album's first single, "The Best Of Me", Mya sings "I can't let you get the best of me". And she's right. This is hardly the best this girl could do. Her voice is sweet and soft, which balances well with other vocalists and rappers, so the best songs her are the colloborations. Jadakiss, Beenie Man, and the late Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopes let Mya shine while they do their thing. The only solo track here that really works is her smash hit "Case Of The Ex". The rest of the tracks are far from praise worthy. The ballads are banal and dull. "Pussycats" is a vile bit of throwaway R&B. To make it worse, she re-issued this album later with her catchy single "Free", and I'm left with this dud. Some solid tracks, but on the whole, it's not that good R&B by numbers. I hope Mya can pull off a hot third album soon. Good luck to her.
