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.

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.
