How often can a debut artist boast of working with the likes of superstar songwriters like Babyface and Diane Warren? 18-year-old Mya can. Aided by top-notch talent including Dru Hill's Sisqo and Nokio and Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliot ("Bye-Bye"), Mya holds up her end of the bargain by delivering one of the sweetest voices in music today. The depth expressed in her songs is impressive for a person of such a young age.
In addition, Mya brings writing skills to the table, co-writing four songs. "It's All About Me," featuring Sisqo, exploded on urban and Top 40 radio. That's not even mentioning "Ghetto Supastar," featuring Pras (Fugees) and Ol' Dirty Bastard (Wu-Tang Clan), which appears on the soundtrack to BULWORTH. Not only are the songs smartly arranged and well crafted, the overall sound of the album is as tight as any contemporary R&B record around.
Editorial Reviews
...This Washington, D.C. native always sings with a voice that is clear, strong, and assured. Combining round-the-way girl sass with an artist's sensibility...
