FINALLY, MYA’S LIBERATION

Monday, November 19, 2007

♫ Mya - Ridin’

Even though according to Amazon.com, Mya’s album isn’t set for release until December 31, 2020, it’s leaked. Over the past year, Mya has been talking about Liberation and the tracks have been leaking left and right - I wasn’t sure what fresh material she was going to have to put on the album. And it seemed as though everything I was hearing was disappointing. She had a couple of failed singles (her camp attempted to release “Ayo” a while back, then came “Lock U Down,” which featured Lil’ Wayne - that didn’t even give it the push they needed). Now, here we are on single #3, “Ridin’” - which has gotten little media attention, much less, radio play.


♫ Mya - Give A Chick A Hand

It just seems like Mya can’t get it right this time around, on Liberation. I tried hard to be a fan this time around, but the album and just the whole process of getting it out has really let me down. Even though I’m disappointed and a lot of the material sounds dated, some songs that I liked on the album include “Give A Chick A Hand,” and “Ridin’.” It just seems like Mya hasn’t done any growing since any of her previous albums. She just seems to be the same artist she was all those years ago. Some may look at this as a positive, but I just don’t see any evolution.

According to fans, Mya has ditched the Liberation project, and new music can be heard via her MySpace for a new project, tentatively titled Smoke & Mirrors. Catchy titled. We’ll see.

Since there’s no information on a new Mya release date for Liberation, check out her MySpace for updates on new projects. Like I said, there’s rumors of a new album being recorded - we’ll see.

Liberation was a good album, I dont care what you have to say. From your reviews Brian, it never seemed like you were a fan of Mya but only a hater. Now have a nice day .

I agree this is somewhat of a half-assed attempt at a review. It would have been better if he featured songs that no one knew about. I like Lights go off and most of the slow songs. You didn’t even really discuss the album in general.

Mya is cute and she can dance but her voice is not that great. She defintely needs a voice coach. Maybe she should starting acting, everbody else is doing!

I agree with the most of comments made above. You only featured two songs which were already featured on Concrete Loop so we didn’t need them reviewed again. I would have liked to hear what you had to say about the other songs even if you only like Give a Chick A Hand and maybe Ridin. I think the point of reviewing an album is to review it in it’s entirety. You know, try to pick out something in each song, like great vocals or lyrics. Anyway, that review seemed rather lazy and I got the impression that you didnt listen to the album at all. By the way, Nothing At All and Lights Go Off are great songs.

And following the myspace link,the song Backseat on her myspace is a hot song. It sounds as if it was Neptunes produced.

she had good songs on her myspace, the hills and smilin were great, backseat is on there now and i like that one

she needs an A+ team behind her, her mom and dad are behind her but she needs real professionals

Kinda funny how the last review from this site was good, and now this one is negative. I feel it was biased. First of all there are 13 tracks. Some of the standout songs are ” switch it up” “no touchin” “lights go off’ and “nothin at all” . I’m confused as 2 why u put ridin up…. for anyone that wants 2 have a brain of their own, download the album and give it a listen 2 urself cuz there are too many followers on here and in the world!

RIDIN IS THE ISH!!! That’s the best song she came out with so far. The video is okay too. I kinda liked “Lock U Down” too. I think people have just been giving so many doses of Beyonce, that is what people are gonna compare every female artist to. But Mya has been around longer than any other female. I think that she probably need to get some better producers on the album and maybe go through some personal relationship issues and she will have alot more deeper things to say. Yall need to lay off of Mya.

I like her songs so farr but she just tanks all the time. I hope this will for sure be a comeback for her. hope so.

How does Ciara sell sex?? Isn’t she like ALWAYS in baggy pants?? I think people are just ahting. Rihanna and Cassie are the ones who sell sex without ANY talent whatsoever. ugh wutever.

Both of these songs are HOT! In “Ridin’” the vocals are amazing, but if you listen you can notice that near the end of the song she starts to sound like Amerie, because she starts getting higher and higher with the notes. “Give a Chick a Hand” is a hot song because you can imagine it being on 106th & Park, because if this had a video it would be crazy. But, what makes this song even better is the fact that nobody would ever think to create a song about the other woman. Definitely a hot track.

the albums terrible. ‘moodring’ was a great album, and should’ve been pushed a little bit more.

Wow, #55) Junior in Jamaica had it right! I totally agree! I haven’t heard the album, but I’ve always liked Ridin. Maybe if Mya got Keri Hilson to write/produce some tracks, Brian would have been a lot more supportive of her album….just sayin!

Mya needs to let it go. I remember when I was in high school, she came out this song featuring Sisqo….WOW what happen to him/her too….LOL…Anyway, it was a hot song then. She tried to come up with the “Fear of Flying” album which i thought it was pretty good. “Moonring”????? oh hell no for me. Now that “Liberation” is pretty much over since 2004, she just need to go back and rename it “Fear of Releasing”
