Wow, what a great interview. I'm really shocked by some of the negative comments regarding the album. It's great R&B music and I think she was really able to show her growth on this album. Monica has always been the type of artist where the production of the song never overpowered her vocals and that's what I love about her. She seems to have a great head on her shoulders and she speaks the truth. This just made me want to go out and buy another copy of "New Life."
