audio review : Down To Earth ( album ) … Monie Love

Down To Earth ( album ) ... Monie Love

She may be down to Earth, but Monie Love isn’t a girl you want to “funk” with. She’s an independent Sister who demands respect, outspoken enough to cuss you out in a British accent that mysteriously goes to robotic syncopation when she raps and articulate enough to hold your attention.

All this album needs is better hooks. Even It’s A Shame, a rip-off of the Spinners song, samples the most annoying part. R U Single ends on a fun note though and Don’t Give a Damn, a bitter dedication to her abusive ex-boyfriend, is a noteworthy addition to the evergrowing list of girl-power anthems.

my rating : 3 of 5
