Although singer Christina Milian is of Cuban descent, she has lived in the United States since her birth. She wrote her first songs while she was still in high school. She was discovered by the people behind Jennifer Lopez, who made her sing in the backing vocals on the album J.Lo (2001). In addition, Play, written by Christina, was successfully released as a single. Then she recorded the duet
… Between Me And You with rapper Ja Rule and her definitive breakthrough was a fact. Her self-titled debut album was preceded by the world hits AM To PM and When You Look At Me. The CD contains more of these cheerful pop tunes with meaningless lyrics. For variation, there are two ballads about heartbreak halfway through the album (Until I Get Over You and It Hurts When ... ) and of course the inevitable Ja Rule also raps along on Get Away. This combination of latin, urban, R&B and pop could make Christina Milian the successor of Jennifer Lopez, Christina Aguilera or Britney Spears. Producers Bloodshy, Jermaine Dupri and Artful Dodger have made it a modern sounding album that will undoubtedly fly like hot cakes to the teenage rooms. (MvP)more
