With her full-throated alto and her world-weary tone, newcomer Syleena Johnson conjures up the sort of dyed-in-the-wool, down-home soul that used to be par for the course. She comes by that soul genetically: Her dad is R&B legend Syl Johnson but his baby girl is no retro act. Her been-done-wrong anthems, told as a chapter from a young woman's life, have the sassy attitude of today but are seasoned by a womanliness that is often AWOL from the more hip kid-driven R&B. Working with labelmates R. Kelly and Liberty City, Syleena has made a soulful CD that feels real and sounds lived through. <I>--Amy Linden</I>

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars The Voice.......2006-01-06

That wonderful Alto voice that sometimes reminds me of Angela Bofill and a soulful rasp that reminds me of Billie Holiday. The album is solid but I really wish that she would get better material because the voice deserves better.
The important thing is that she can sang. One of those Church singers but with lots of control.
If you miss real singers, then you gonna like this.

3 out of 5 stars FILLS IN THE BLANK SPACES IN MUSIC!!....3and 1/2.......2004-09-03

This woman has an amazing voice.Her reaspy alto..she can sing to ma all day and i still wouldn't get tired of listening.This is an album which is average.Her voice is on point but some of the songs are mediocre.The songs..

I Am Your Woman (first video i remember when i first saw her on Midnight Love..i though she could sang...influenced me to buy the album)

Hit On Me (Second video i've seen.This is when i went to buy the album.The message and words are powerful and she sings it with such force.One of the best songs on this CD)

Everybody Wants Something, He's Gonna Do You In, and You Said other good songs...average album but her voice makes up for it...

OVERALL GRADE 79/100 = C+

5 out of 5 stars Very well-rounded artist!.......2004-01-01

Sylenna has a very powerful voice for her age. She is way ahead of her time. I truly appreciate Syleena's diversity and I pray that she gets more airplay because she is definatley underrated.

5 out of 5 stars Soulfully Put.......2003-11-11

Syleena Johnson's album is a mix of neo soul, R&B,rock,and comtemporary gospel all in one album. Syleena's raspy voice and high and low range will leave you spellbound. This is the album that every music loving,free soul should have.

Chp.1 Love,Pain and Forgiveness gives you what you are looking for in a great album. With tear jerking tracks such as "Hit on Me", and "One Day", you'll be holding back all of your emotions. Then there are tracks like "I Am Your Woman", and "You Got Me Spinnin'", that should empower every woman out there.

With songs produced by R.Kelly and lots of other notable artists, this album is the best comtemporary R&B album I'ved heard in a long time.

5 out of 5 stars Queen of old school R&B.......2003-10-11

Syleena is one of those singers that's hard to ignore once you hear her amazingly soulfull voice. This artist is definitely going to be around for a long time. Good luck to you Syleena you have a new fan.
