R&B singer Monica hasn't had much success over the last couple of years. Her last album "The Makings of Me" failed to chart or sell 明顯地noticeably. Now on her sixth effort things seem to be looking up for Monica. With her reality series on BET doing well and current single "Everything to Me" peaking to #3 on the R&B/Hip-Hop chart. As for the album she has said that she wanted to go back to her old sound. Doing just that the album is filled with great R&B tracks with a modern flare to them. The Monica you loved years ago seems to have come back bringing you a great contemporary R&B album. Be sure to check it out and BUY YOUR COPY MARCH 23RD!!
