Well So Sexy is better then most songs out right now. It will flop regardless because she already fucked up by releasing "twist it" |

R+B star OLIVIA is laughing off slights made against her sexuality by former G-UNIT labelmate THE GAME, insisting she's staying faithful to their boss 50 CENT.
The Game upset 50 and his G-Unit pals earlier this year (05) when he accused the IN DA CLUB hitmaker of being "a rat" and blasted all his labelmates on record.
But, while many have fought back, Olivia plans to keep her thoughts about her former pal to herself - even though he refers to her as 'Oliver' and suggests she was born a guy.
She says, "Why should that bother me? We'll all laugh, like, 'Uh, that was funny.' We're so nonchalant about that whole subject. He's the one still harbouring feelings."
And, unlike The Game, Olivia, who collaborated with 50 Cent on CANDY SHOP isn't planning to quit her G-Unit "family" any time soon.
She adds, "Whatever Fif (sic) does, I'm going to support, because he's a great boss - and you shouldn't go against your family."

Look's like there may be trouble in Paradise for G-Unit's first lady:
Olivia's CD Pushed Back?
Not everything 50 Cent touches turns to gold. His artist Olivia's single "So Sexy" is doing well on the charts. But Interscope execs fear chart success will not translate to sales for the First Lady's debut album "Behind Closed Doors". Now word is Olivia's album release date has been pushed back until next year. Execs are nervous that the album will flop and that would not make Fif happy.www.sandrarose.com/news

It would've sold more if they released it when "Candy Shop" was out, even before "Twist It" aka "Twisted."

'Behind Closed Doors' Review
Olivia, 24, more than fits the bill. The petite, vocalist who sings soprano, tenor and alto is the quintessential ride or die chick who boasts beauty, brawn and ample confidence to assure her voice is heard amongst the industry's hardest rappers.
Her G-Unit set, BEHIND CLOSED DOORS, captures her street savvy wit on hip-hop tracks featuring her brethren 50, Lloyd Banks, Young Buck and Tony Yayo, as well as her more vulnerable disposition on honest ballads. The diverse assortment of beats are delivered by a variety of respected producers including Dr. Dre, resident G-Unit producer Sha Money XL, Robert Smith, and the Movement, among others.
Prior to joining the G-Unit ranks in July 2004, Olivia was the first artist signed to music mogul Clive Davis' J Records. In 2001, Olivia released her self-titled debut that included the hits, "Biz-ounce," and "Are You Capable." Despite the record's growing momentum, the album got lost in the label shuffle, resulting in Olivia's departure from the company the following year.
"Having the opportunity to work with Clive was incredible," Olivia says of her tenure on J. "I learned so much." After splitting with J, Olivia continued to record new songs and tour, receiving lucrative offers from numerous record labels. When a former J Records executive took a position and Interscope and promised Olivia a meeting with Jimmy Iovine, the label head who has executed multi-million dollar deals with Dr. Dre, Eminem, and 50 Cent, she jumped at the opportunity and was signed on the spot. Within a few months, 50 Cent called her, offering her the position as the first lady of G-Unit. To help make her presence, Olivia made a string of cameo appearances in G-Unit videos, beginning with Lloyd Banks' solo shot "Smile" and subsequent videos from his songs "I'm So Fly" and "Karma." In February 2005, she was featured on 50 Cent's "Candy Shop," the first single from his sophomore album, THE MASSACRE.
BEHIND CLOSED DOORS gives Olivia more creative freedom than she experienced on her first album, which she considers a bit brasher than she wanted. "BEHIND CLOSED DOORS really is a totally different transition from what you heard from J," Olivia explains. "I'm still street. I'm still doing the sexy stuff, and I'm still straight forward, but I'm doing it in a subtler way."
Olivia's pristine vocals pierce though the bubbling party-track "Twist It" featuring Lloyd Banks. She goes crunk with Young Buck on "Whatever." Then, she teams up with 50 again on the super sexy "In My Bedroom" where they trade racy pillow talk without getting explicit. Olivia and 50 recorded "In My Bedroom" right after they made "Candy Shop," the lead track from 50's sophomore album, THE MASSACRE. "Once 50 heard 'In My Bedroom', he wanted to put a verse on it because he liked the record so much," Olivia says.
Elsewhere, BEHIND CLOSED DOORS illustrates Olivia's musical dexterity. Her love for her reggae roots-she's part Jamaican, Indian and Cuban--is apparent on the pulsating "Wild Tonight" featuring Shaggy and grinding "Wind Pon Me" with popular Jamaican artist Cecile. Olivia's love for her dad's favorites Tito Puentes and Gloria Estefan shines on the conga-drum enhanced "Closer."
While connecting with the music is important to Olivia, she also insists that the lyrical content offers substance. On the sizzling "Ex Girl," she is not afraid to confess, "Let me show you how your ex girl should've been loving you." Over an old school '70s track, "Pick Up The Pieces," she wonders who will be able to heal her heartache. She vows her commitment to a down and out brother on "Count On Me," unconditional love on "Earth, Fire And Wind," and admits emotional confusion on "Stuck," which samples one of Barry White's class songs.
The artist who lists Brandy, Anita Baker, Maroon 5 and Garbage among her favorite acts is sure to connect with listeners on the introspective "Lonely Girl" where she conveys feelings few are willing to reveal. "I want this to be a single," Olivia says. "It's basically about being jealous of all my friends because they have men and I don't. You know how you always have one girl out of the group who always talks about the other girls, but she's really jealous because she wants to be that girl? I couldn't turn this song down because I know that many people actually feel like that and no one talks about that."
Olivia wrote or co-wrote nearly every song on the album and titled it BEHIND CLOSED DOORS to explain the album's personal lyrics. "I want people to be able to know me behind closed doors," Olivia says. "They'll see a glimpse into my life."

Loving the interview! It's surprised me how a lot of newer RnB female artists (even though she techniqually isnt new) list Brandy as their influence. Keyshia Cole also said that.
