The Makings Of Me was tossed-off and superficial. Of course there were mega-songs and Mo's voice is .. damn it's awesome, but there was not enough quality to establish consistent vibe like her previous records. that vibe helps carry the listener through the so-so songs.

it's encouraging that she's working with those big producers; but they got to give Mo their 'A material' and the label's got to promote the shit outta a Monica album this time. In the midwest, at least, there was zero awareness for TMOM. that's bullshit. love you girl!
