Even though it's nowhere near the original 'My Life', it's my favourite album of hers for a while.

She's in a very hard predicament. She's proven herself in the early part of her career by pioneering a sub-genre and being the very best at it. That is where I would prefer her to stay. And she's also ventured outside of hip-hop soul, and received A LOT of acclaim for it.

The trouble is the money isn't in REAL, AUTHENTIC R&B and hip-hop anymore. If you go pop, that's when people spend money and you see the artists at the top of the charts.
