The rest of Lumidee's self-titled debut consists of serviceable, affable R&B made unique by the singer's halting, off-kilter, refreshingly unpredictable vocals, best showcased on a brief half-rapped, half-sung "Suppose To Do," a take on the "Theme From Mahogany." Lumidee utilizes her child-like voice to disconcerting effect on "Me & You" while summoning up her inner hardcore rapper on "My Last Thug." Busta Rhymes and Fabolous drop by, providing perfect foils for each other on the remix of "Never Leave You."

19-year-old R&B chanteuse Lumidee, pronounced "loomy d," received very sudden attention with her summer 2003 jam "Never Leave You." At first, the hit may seem ultimately gimmicky, but further listening finds something original going on beneath the hooky exterior. The track begins with tribal beats delayed by a breathy, faltering, echoing vocal, hauntingly off-beat and otherworldly in the manner of those early House crossover hits from the mid-to-late-'80s.

Live Recording

1 star TORTURE TO MY EARS
WITH A TITLE FOR A SONG CALLED UH OH, WHO WOULD'VE EXPECTED THIS TO BE A GOOD ALBUM? ALL THE MELODIES AND RHYTHMS WITHIN THE SONGS ARE EXACTLY THE SAME WITH NO REAL TALENT TO SUPPORT THE POOR PRODUCTION. HER VOICE IS DEFINITELY ONE OUT OF THE HORRIBLE AMERICAN IDOL AUDITIONS SO SHE SHOULD THINK TWICE ABOUT POSSIBLY PUTTING OUT A SOPHMORE RECORD. ONE HIT WONDERS ARE NOT GOOD THE SECOND TRY AROUND.

1 star What Was She Thinking?
I guess you don't have to know how to sing anymore to get a record deal huh? This album is TRASH! Every song sounds the same and her tone does not change throughout the album. I wouldn't even give it 1 star but that's the lowest she can get. Lumidee makes Ashanti sound like the old Whitney Houston!

4 stars Good Beats
This CD was good! Her song's lyrics were all good and she had really good beats I think she's a better singer than she is a rapper though.

Beyonce Dangerously In Love CD (2003)

Almost Famous album

$9.69

DANGEROUSLY IN LOVE won the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary R&B Album. "Dangerously In Love" won for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance. "The Closer I Get To You" won for Best R&B Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals. "Crazy In Love" won for Best R&B Song and for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration. The song was also nominated for Record of the Year. Besides deft, pitch-perfect hit songs, the talented if volatile Destiny's Child was remarkable for its unpredictability, not always a defining characteristic of mainstream R&B. While there was certainly a formula at play in the songs, the structure was subtly unstable, never following standard progressions. Yet most of their singles flew to the top of both the pop and R&B charts. While DC was generally a collective, Beyonce Knowles clearly emerged as the ...

With a stretch-Hummer limo-load of talent, creativity, and confidence only hinted at on her debut, Lil' Mo throws down for real on MEET THE GIRL NEXT DOOR, her exceptional sophomore effort. First off, Mo is a genuine soul singer. Unlike some of her scale-running, scat-happy contemporaries, every note the diminutive vocalist utters sounds absolutely necessary. Of course it helps that the Lil' Miss is a heck of a ...
