Mixerr Album Reviews #450

This is Michael Mixerr. Today I will do an extended album review on Lil Mo's album titled Pain & Paper.

For those who don't know, Pain & Paper was released in 2007 on her independent label HoneyChild Entertainment which was distributed by Koch Records (now E1). At the time she was dropped from Cash Money Records and Universal due to Hurricane Katrina. This album was supposed to mark her comeback. Instead it went under the radar sold under 110k copies which led to the album Pain & Paper to sell 101k copies total. Unfortunately, she got played over by Cash Money Records in 2006. But luckily, she's back with the albums, P.S. I Love You and iLoveMe! The album featured guest stars such as Katt Williams, Fabulous, Danny Roc, Jim Jones, and Da Brat.

Lil Mo never fails to amaze me at all! So Lil Mo will never fail to maze you at all! She does have a strong and beautiful voice. Some of the songs on here are heartbreaking love ballads. Lil Mo evokes emotional effort on this album. Her lyrics are so magnificent. A lot of Lil Mo songs often deal with the ups and downs and pains of relationships written in lyrics from a woman's perspective.


Just Like That is about leaving a man who isn't faithful to his woman "just like that". Ladies! If your man is treating you badly, Lil Mo encourages you to part ways in your relationship with him right away. Just like that! It's so simple! If you listen very closely, punctually at the very end are Lil Mo's vocals are extremely powerful at the end of this heartbreaking love song.

No Hotel is a song that women that are dating in the relationship game can relate to. Do not allow a man to come into your home and leave when he wants or just whenever he pleases to! It's sickening when women allow men to take advantage of them while in a relationship.

The overall message of the song Heartbeat is to cherish the loved ones that we love while they're still here because we never know when they will be unexpectedly taken away from you and that's just real talk! Anything could happen at any given time! This song tragic is about pain and loss. The beeping sound of a heart monitor is well-woven into the beat(s) of this particular song right here.

I rate this album, Pain & Paper, 4/5****.
