WoW! This has gotta be one of the best debut cds I have ever heard.Her debut CD Nivea proves that she has what it takes to be a star.With hits like(The one for me) which was dedicated to her fiancee which I will till you who that is a little later. R.Kelly produced (ya,ya,ya,the one for me, and laundromat) they're all my favorites anyway.She needs to sign with a better record dealer, because I feel Jive Records haven't really promoted her as a star,yet. She hasn't even had her time to shine yet. She is as good as Ashanti, or India.Arie. Well sure she got a grammy for(Danger and Don't mess with man) but it really doesn't prove anything.Her album wasn't on top of the billboard charts and also not a lot of album sales, as she deserved to be on top. But however Ashanti's album went platinum 5 times and #1 on the charts for almost 2 months. But I think her next single(Ya, Ya, Ya) will prove that she is ready to be a star. However Laundromat was a big hit. But the video would've been interesting if R.kelly was in it. Instead of Nick Cannon who is on Nivea's CD and is also signed to Jive Records. However she is getting married to Lil Wayne who is also my favorite rapper. WoW my favorite singer and my favorite rapper is getting married. How good could it get. This is a rating of what I think of her Self-Titled Debut CD. Check it out ! Below
1-10 Scale
1. Still in Love- A classic Love Song that proves she is in love with LiL Wayne. 9/10
2. Ya,Ya,Ya feat. Lil Wayne- A nice song and I can relate to the song because it is about people who lie just to impress you.
8/10
3. Don't mess with Man feat. Brian and Brandon Casey- I good dance song something you would dance to in a club- this is a hot summa banga 10/10
4. The one for me-I hope this song is dedicated to LiL Wayne but anyways this is a good song- it explains who really is the one for you and defines who it is.She may have a thing for R.kelly.
8/10
5. Laundromat feat. R.Kelly- People don't get this song but this song actually means that when a man cheats on you, you go to a Laundromat to think about what he did and mess up his clothes.
9/10
6. You dont even know feat. Nick Cannon- this song explains that you may don't even know what a person may go through so don't judge them- this is a positive song. Nick Cannon ... in this song. 6/10 Nick Cannon need to play the drums and leave music to the professionals.Okaaaaaaay
7.Run Away feat. Pusha T of clipse- this song is about when a man can disappoint a women so bad that he can drive her away, to never come back, to leave without notice. 9/10
8. Just in Case- A good song. this song is about whenever you need a person they be by your side just in case.7/10
9. No doubt- This is one of her slow songs, this is the song I like the least because it proves nothing, the song shows nothing for itself. 4/10
10. Never had a girl like me- Oh what a great song!- this song proves to LiL Wayne that he never really had a girl like her. This song has a catch vibe, the beat sounds a little tropical, something that you could walk on a beach to.10/10
11.Have mercy- One of the best songs on the album. The beat is a little slow but is catchy. The song is about forgiving a women when she has done wrong and not to always assume it's her fault.
10/10
12. Don't mess with the radio- A nice catchy song you could dance to and the words are so catchy and easy to learn.
8/10
13. 25 reasons- Now This is my song right here. This song proves that this girl can sang herself OFF. WOW you gotta hear this song
it proves that Ashanti ain't got nothin on Nivea. I love this song. She explains 25 reasons why she is in love with Lil Wayne.
Oh Yall ain't heard nothing until you hear this. 10/10
14.Don't mess with my man feat. Brian and Brandon Casey and Mystikal- Not to different from the 1st one except when Mystikal throws in a little ATL flava which I like a lot- But anyways the beat is the same and so is the chorus.
I hope I influenced you to go buy this CD. Let's just pray this isn't her last one. Because she really didn't blow up like I expected her to and how she deserved to. I only wish the best for her and her fiancee Lil Wayne. He quoted: "I am never gonna let this one get away from me". Well we will see about that. The question is how long will these lovebirds last. Look out for Nivea's next single Ya,Ya,Ya feat. LiL Wayne.I think she deserves to win for Best Hip Hop and R&B Female artist from the BET awards. I don't think she was even there. That is truly a shame, she wasn't invited or couldn't make it. Anyways go get this CD if you truly are a Nivea Fan. Have a great day !!
