This is Michael Mixerr. Today I will review Lil Mo - Meet The Girl Next Door.
Meet The Girl Next Door was more romance themed than having an actual slice of live vibe that her debut album Based On A True Story was. Some of the song titles are dead giveaways as to how this album is more romance themed. Songs such as 4ever, Doing Me Wrong, Why Do We Fall In Love, Shoulda Known, So Lost Without You, 1st Time, Ain't No Reason, Brand Nu, and Get Over It are dead giveaways. Also, this Lil Mo album is more inspirational than her last one or any of her other albums for that matter relatively speaking. Songs such as It's Your World, Letter To My #1 Fan, So Lost Without You, and Ain't No Reason are key inspirational songs. Her vocal range is much wider, her notes are richer, and her voice is stronger. The production that accompanies her is very well done and produced.
Meet The Girl Next Door album by Lil Mo was very underrated and overlooked for its time by hardcore fans and mainstream media. Mo should have put out more singles and music videos for this album as she did with her debut album Based On A True Story. All the songs had hot production by Missy Elliott and Chucky Thompson. Sadly, Elektra did not do much to promote this album in terms of promotion. Elektra did not give this album much of a push. This album truly had such potential.
It's obvious from that Lil Mo is happy with her new marriage and her firstborn child. She states she's really to settle down and have some kids on the song 4ever. She's ready to live life. It's ride or die and do or die for Lil Mo! She's ready to get married and be in a marriage.
Lil Mo and Fabulous make a great duo! Fabulous raps and Lil Mo sings resulting in a perfect combination. That's why whenever they both collaborate, their songs turnout to be a success with fans alike. This isn't the first time Fabulous and Lil Mo have collaborated. Check out songs such as Superwoman, Sumtimes I, and Can't Let You Go!
Doing Me Wrong is a percussion driven and guitar driven ballad about how many men have did her so wrong in the past. She finally meets the man of her dreams after having so many men who did her wrong. The vibe is more negative due to the sounds of the low notes played on the guitar despite fans saying Doing Me Wrong is an uplifting song.
It's Your World is an inspirational song telling people they can do whatever they want. Lil Mo intends to inspire by reaching out to the youth on this song. You just have to have a drive to do want you want with you.
Ain't No Reason inspires people who are in a relationship not to fight but instead to work things out. There is no reason to people relationship can't get through trying this time. Before you call it quits, let's just talk about it and work it out. We can work things out. Relationships can be for better or for worse.
I rate this album, Meet The Girl Next Door, 5/5*****!!
