Overview Edit

----

Moodring is the third studio album by American singer Mýa, released in the United States on July 22, 2003 by Interscope Records. Her final album with the record company, it features production several producers and songwriters, including Ron Fair, Missy Elliott, Timbaland, Rockwilder, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, and Knobody among others.

Released two years after the number-one success of "Lady Marmalade", the album debuted at number three on the Billboard 200 chart but had a short run on the charts, resulting into medicore domestic sales of 597,000 copies and a gold certification by the RIAA. Outside the States, Moodring scored minor success, missing the top forty on the majority of the charts it appeared on except for Canada. The critical response to Moodring was generally positive, garnering Mýa her strongest reception yet, with Allmusic praising Mýa for coming up with her best and most varied set of songs yet. At the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards "My Love Is Like...Wo" earned Mýa two nominations for Best Dance Video and Best Choreography.

While lead single "My Love Is Like...Wo" reached the top twenty in the United States and top forty elsewhere in countries like the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and Ireland, the album's second single "Fallen" failed to duplicate its success. In late 2005, after five years with the company Mýa left Interscope Records due to "creative differences", making Moodring her last studio album on the label.

4 stars Mya's third studio album entitled her as a self-empowered sexy diva.
The smooth tempo Missy Elliot produced first single "My Love is Like...Wo" is a mild prelude to an AMAZING R&B album. Many different "moods" and subject matter are tapped on this album from the playful cocky single "...Wo" to the risqué, humorous techno-ish single "Whatever B*tch" that's a definite party starter to the dark atmosphere of "Taste This" in which Mya, over a pulsating beat, turns the tables on a lover that's not living up to expectations. There's also a groovy 70's vibe to "Sophisti…

1 stars Dissapointing...
I have liked Mya's vocals since 'Its all about me' & I think she is TRULY talented. However, that talent is not shown in this cd. On this cd it seemed like she was trying to show a harder/edgier side of her and I wasn't feeling it. Most of her songs contain obscenities and sexual lyrics. I love hard core rap so believe me I don't have virgin ears, but at the same time it just wasn't what I'm looking for on a Mya cd. The song 'Late'... WOW is she serious?
