^This was just supposed to be a buzz single/viral video (unless they changed the plan). The lead single, My Love, should be premiering soon.

Ooh I love Perfectly Worthless! I have never really checked out her albums beyond some of her first few singles (Guess What is my song) but I'll definitely give this one a listen.

I like the song in the video intro more. This sounds like bootleg Rico Love wannabe. I loved her around 02-05, but a lot of her material since then hasn't done much for me.

All This Way for Love
Heaven in Hell
If I Was Your World
Harmony
No Beginner
Boom
If You Need to Know
Perfectly Worthless
I Cut My HairEasily her best album since Chapter 3: The Flesh. I was surprised how fresh and contemporary Kajun and Pierre managed to make her sound but clearly ditching Shanachie did her the best favors.

I've been a STAN of Syleena's since "Busta Buss and Syleena" so of course I have every alber she drops. What I love about her is that she follows in the same vein as Kelly Price and Faith Evans where she gives us that ratchet realness but in a classic soul by way of gospel experience. Nobody sounds like Syleena and nobody writes a lyric like her. Her live shows have always been better than the album which says alot about how great her talent is.
Now with that said, I need her to really start challenging herself with these arrangements and even the tracks she chooses. This new album is pretty on the surface but its kinda hollow on repeated listens. I loved how creative she was on Underrated despite having zero budget or support... songs like "A Boss" (which gave Brandy circa 2002), "Label Me" (showing Mariah how to correctly use the "Hey Mickey" reference), "Angry Girl" and "Stonewall" all gave me Syleena flexing her artistry. I don't really hear too much of that on Couples Therapy. I don't hear too much of her standing flat foot and wailing which I'm accustomed too. She uses her upper register (head voice) more than ever which is new so kudos to her but I much prefer her alto chest voice and that perfect RASP. "My Love" would have hit harder had she really went for blood in her chest voice like on "Is Is True?". "No Beginner" is probably the worst song, zero chemistry and just doesn't spark any damn interest whatsoever. "Harmony" could have used some because with a talent as wonderful as Dave Hollister, she should have laced it with a laidback church vibe and just went IN with them harmonizing runs and bars. "Heaven In Hell" could have been THAT track but why so short? SMH I'm just taking a good bite when it jumps into My Love. The production is clean tho and her best since Chapter 3. "My Heart Is Open" should have been included because that's my favorite vocal from these sessions. Overall, this album is so-so for me.
Standouts include:
If You Need To Know!!!!!!
Perfectly Worthless!!!
Silence!
All This Way For Love.... I would love to hear this remixed into a real early 80's disco vibe
Fool's Gold.... though I wish we could have had them battle it out as it fades, battle of the raspy old souls
Honorable Mention: I Cut My Hair.... I prefer the live version, this mix is off cuz the vocals seems stuck behind the music

This album is miles better than her last one in 2011 and probably better than Chapter 4 before that.
Also she hasn't charted an album on the top 200 since 2005 so this is almost a "modest" success for her.

Debuted at #197 with 2.31k sold. At least this is better than the 889 Lil Mo posted. Lol. I like Chapter 6. Harmony and Cut My Hair are my favorites. |

For anyone interested, Syleena is on this season of Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars on WEtv.
I didn't know it was coming back for another season, but it started last wk. You should not have any issues catching up with repeats if you are interested in watching, however, quick note.....Heidi and Spencer are on this season too! Syleena is the only one on this season that I am familiar with. Watching first episode right now.

Just watched this interview and I really enjoyed her personality. Haven't listened to one of her albums since like her 3rd one, and I may check out the 3 seasons of "R&B Divas: ATL" now.

She shot a TV movie for BET based around the album as well; check your local listings for repeats.

I LOVE Syleena but no. She's been talking about this album since 2007 and it sounds like it was recorded, mixed and mastered in 1967. She deserves and is capable of so much better.
