This is Michael Mixerr. Today I will review the R&B album Make It Hot by Nicole Wray again due to popular demand!
For those who don't know who Nicole Wray is, she was the first artist to sign to Missy Elliott's Goldmind Inc. in 1998 other than Missy herself with Timbaland's production team Timbaland and Magoo. She and Missy were from Portsmouth, Virginia. Nicole had a blazing hot song called Make It Hot which hit #7 on the BillBoard! The next song that hit the BillBoard was I Can't See. The third song Eyes Better Not Wander did not do as well because it was a slow jam with no fast paced beats by Timbaland. That song was produced by Smokey of Playa. Most of Make It Hot was filled with love ballads and love songs.
She focused more on the single Make It Hot rather than the album which is why her debut was a commercial failure despite having a couple of hot song.
In the end, it was Nicole Wray got the unfair deal in the music business. She had to suffer the consequences of being dropped by Goldmind Inc. and Elektra Records. Luckily, she is now signed to Truth & Soul Records (known for Lee Fields fame) with Terri Walker (of Def Jam fame) in a duo called Lady.
I rate this album, Make It Hot, 5/5*****!!
