The last time we heard from Monica was back in 2007 with an album called “The Makings of Me” where she was trying too hard to be contemporary. So after years in the making, Monica will finally release her sixth studio album “Still Standing” today, March 23rd. It’s lead single “Everything To Me” is currently doing well on iTunes. The “Fatal Attraction” - inspired video to the track is set to premiere in the coming weeks.
Thoughts?… Don’t get me wrong the CD is not bad, no one sings about pain, drama, love, cheating and strength, but at the end of the day the album is plain and lacks that appealing certain something to make it a classic. There were few standout cuts from the CD that I really enjoyed,the old-school Deniece Williams sampled single, ”Everything to Me”, “Mirror” where she seems to be having a stream of consciousness, the sexually charged “Superman” and of course “Still Standing” which has uplifting words for all of us. Hopefully Monica will use her great talent next time with something even better.
