CD Description
Young R&B siren Mya's voice first caught national attentionwith her song-stealing chorus on Pras's everpresent 1998 hit "Ghetto Superstar" from the movie "Bulworth". After that, it seemed the youthful singer with the dulcet, yet surprisingly acrobatic voice seemed to be everywhere; providing the hook for the theme to "The Rugrats Movie", teaming with Christina Aguilera, Lil' Kim, and Pink on "Lady Marmalade", and releasing her own records, as well as making a memorable acting turn in the blockbuster CHICAGO.
Mya's third record MOODRING reveals her cinematic connection to be no coincidence, as it's full of drama, from the theatrical vocal phrasing to the lush production. Despite a gentle countenance, Mya's no fading flower, asserting her intellectual and sexual prowess throughout the album, from the first track "My Love Is Like...Wo". Mya's brazen attitude is perfectly tempered by anengaging pop-R&B approach straight from the playbook of theJacksons' vintage '80s work, the best balance coming on breezy tracks like "Sophisticated Lady" and "Late".

Customer Reviews

MORE MYA PLEASE!
After receiving Moodring as a gift, I can honestly say that it is one of the best albums that I own, ranking with the likes of sophomore Destiny's Child album 'The Writing's On The Wall' and Kelis' 'Kaleidoscope'. Why? Well I'll tell you.
OK, OK, opening track 'My Love Is Like...Wo' is a travesty compared with some of the other tracks, and Mya certainly made a bad decision when choosing to release this. 'Fallen' is a lovely song, getting dark in places, and one of the best on the album. 'Why You Gotta Look So Good' sees Mya telling the superficial pain of leaving an incredibly attractive ex, and it's fab and highly original, with a star turn by rapper Lloyd Banks.
'Step', produced by Missy Elliott, sees Mya return to mainstream r'n'b. Not the best track but certainly not bad, a kind of club song for a Friday night out. 'Sophisticated Lady' is fresh, flirty and oh so naughty, and a contender for best track on the album, with lyrics like "and touching me's a felony", and "i'm your mamma, let's play house - when you're bad, you get time out".
Then we have 'No Sleep Tonight' and 'Anatomy 1On1' which are without doubt the weakest tracks on the album, dreary, and not dissimilar from something that Ashanti would try. Then comes the saviour 'Hurry Up', a sexy, original r'n'b track.
'Things Come And Go' (feat. Sean Paul) is the most refreshing thing I've heard in a long time, a cheesy reggae song, the kind you love but you keep quiet about it! 'Late' sees Mya worrying about pregnancy (a top track), 'Whatever Bitch' is the dance track, with Mya, well, cracking down on a girl in a club who wants to cramp her style.
There are too many songs on the album to mention them all, but the other standout is 'Moodring' which is saucy, sultry and tinged with a whole gothic, old-fashioned sound in both the music and Mya's singing.
So 'Moodring', Mya's third album, should elevate her to the ranks of the r'n'b superstars, and r'n'b lovers everywhere, I urge you to buy this. From funked out start to funked out finish, I guarantee you that this will be the freshest thing you'll hear all year.

Moodring, the third and fabulous album from Mya
I have been a fan of Mya's since she came out in the late 90's. I have all three of her CD's and have seen and heard her grow on each of them, from a teenager in love dealing with her emotions on her first album, Mya, to a mature woman dealing with adult relationships and real world problems on Fear Of Flying. The new album, Moodring, is Mya at the top of her game, lyrically, emotionally, and vocally.

Her first single, "My Love is Like...Wo" is sexy, danceable, and a good jam in general. The beginning of the CD, up to about track nine, features songs about love, broken hearts, and sex, which I must say got a little bit redundant. But, towards the end, there are songs dealing with real problems people face, such as losing friends and family ("After The Rain"), pregnancy scares ("Late"), and the hardships of growing up too fast and leaving your past behind ("Take A Picture"). Besides these, there are many other stand-out tracks, such as "Fallen," "Taste This," and "Whatever B***h," a catchy club track with biting lyrics. The only notable guest spot was that of Sean Paul on "Things Come And Go," which was nice, because not having guest vocals really helps Mya stand out on her own and prove her worth.

I would highly recommend purchasing this CD. Mya is a talented performer with a long future in front of her.

Mya Harrison - Moodring
Since her infectious debut hit "Ghetto Superstar" with Pras & ODB in '98, Mya has gone from strength to strength in both production and vocal quality. On "Moodring", Mya is so unbeleivably confident, especially in comparison to her self titled debut and "Fear Of Flying" and it is so obviously reflected in her new music.

The lead-off track and the first single taken from the new album-"My Love Is Like...Wo" includes tight production from Missy Elliott herself and without too much intervention the music is upbeat and ready-to-dance-to and the lyrics are catchy and confidence-ridden including phrases like "my body's like...wo" & "will you come and spend the night".

Following this are strings of cleverly and carefully selected guest appearances from Lloyd Banks of G-Unit on fab hip-hop anthem "Why You Gotta Look So Good?" and Gunz on "Hurry Up", which is also neatly produced by the fabulous DJ Clue & Duro. Other stand out tracks are "Step", "Sophisticated Lady" & the unusual "Take A Picture", which includes rare production from none other than P!nk.

But honestly, the most outstanding track on the album is the delicous reggae-influenced "Things Come & Go", an alternative and beautiful kind of love song which totally credits both Sean Paul and Mya's vocals. All in all , Mya has grown into a talented producer, writer and composer and holds all of the cards with this album. If she gets "Things Come & Go" on our airwaves she could be seeing alot of success because it's gonna be a massive summer hit.
