| | M C Hammer Inside Out CD M C Hammer Discography of CDs
On Inside Out, MC Hammer returned to his old moniker, as well as moving back to the more pop-oriented sound of Please Hammer, Don't Hurt 'Em. Although the album initially fared well on the R&B charts, it didn't have much staying power, which could be due to the inconsistent quality of the record. MC Hammer seems unsure of himself throughout the album, attempting to gain some street credibility and a mass audience simultaneously. The result is a record that has a few good isolated moments, but never delivers a knockout punch, let alone a memorable hook or groove. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

It's hardly a surprise that the brilliant West African-born vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Abenaa was charting on Radio & Records alongside adult contemporary heavyweights like Celine Dion and Luther Vandross. Abenaa brings cachet to the format via the hits she wrote for Vanessa Williams ("The Way That You Love") and Canadian star Kim Stockwood. The best song on this stunning debut, the shimmering ballad "Song 4 U," finds the indie artist soaring into Williams' vocal ranges, convincingly portraying the emotional pain of one heart missing another. Writing poetic lyrics that talk about the universal need for love and philosophies on how to best live life ("Journey," "Simple Life"), Abenaa is more about retro-soul (including a wah-wah-styled guitar) and funk on other tracks. On these tracks, all of which feature picture-perfect hooks and are generally guitar-based, her voice is more in the soul realm of a Des'ree. Some cool gospel roots shine through on the folksy funk gem "God Made You," on which she plays the electric tremolo guitar. Abenaa seems too much of an individualist to ever sell out, but if she focused more on simple pop, there's no doubt the powers that be could make her a superstar. ~ Jonathan Widran
In a time where music has lost its focus on meaning something, Abenna will be the first to tell you that her songwriting is not a "calculated" process but something that flows out of her.While emerging from the shadow of being the writer of Top 10 Grammy nominated and international hit songs for Vanessa Williams and Kim Stockwood, there is no mistake that Abenaa's debut release, Tuesday's Child, takes her music to a whole new insightful level. Unlike many artists today who try to jump on the latest trends, her "trendless and ageless" musical "stories" capture the heart of her vision of life. "Lyrics are the focal point of the song." It's what allows you to get to know the "real" artist. While many artists write songs about how others should wake up and focus on their problems, Abenaa's songs are just the opposite."My songs educate me about where my life is at the moment." Her songs share the insights of her life, where she's come from, and the developing paths to where she is going. How refreshing - an artist who puts her cards on the table. Examples of her self-examination can be found throughout her new release in songs like, Simple Life, which talks about her easily identifiable desire to have a life that is non-stressful and uncomplicated in all areas including love. Rain continues Abenaa's quest of communicating her belief that whether or not things seem to make sense, there is a divine order that unfolds if we let it happen. In Ride, she projects the sincere commentary that ...
