Only 15-18k next week is kind of dismal. I know the record industry is in dire straits, but you would think that Queen Latifah would be able to do better.

Following a pair of vocal showcase albums that involved classy yet fun spins on the likes of Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band, Nina Simone, and Billy Strayhorn, Queen Latifah enlists producers Cool & Dre to help concoct a willfully schizophrenic set of pop-oriented material. As anyone familiar with her recent screen and studio work would expect, Latifah's shifts from character to character are not rocky. "What's the Plan" is an obvious Cheryl Lynn circa-"Encore" impersonation, albeit one streaked with Dre's vocal-effect-driven gibberish. "Cue the Rain" works a rocking backdrop -- not unlike a fist-pumping cut off a mid-'80s soundtrack -- with quotes from Fleetwood Mac's "The Chain". One of the more contemporary tracks, the sleek and flirty "Take Me Away (With You)", features Marsha Ambrosius and is surprisingly effective -- though its extended dancefloor coda, technically longer than the meat of the song, is gratuitous. Just about all of it is enjoyable, but not much of it sticks. Few vocalists who can sing and rap can display such versatility on one album. As demonstrated on Persona, Queen Latifah is definitely one of them, yet the album is easily her least essential release. - Andy Kellman 2.5 Stars AMG Track Picks: None at that review imo the album is good for what it is IMO it's an eclectic mix of many genres i really like this album i wonder why they never sent any of her songs for adds many of these songs are VERY radio friendly |

Insomnia drove me to listen to the album last nite and while it's not as bad as I thought, it's still far from anything great IMO. Her voice is not suited for this kind of music and tracks like The Light make me yearn for her to return to hip-hop that much more. Her flow is still sick!

Those estimates aren't too bad considering the only thing selling it is her name.

I think the video is cool, but I can't get into the song. This is the one she performed on "Dancing with the Stars" a few weeks back, right? I just find it sounding too busy w/the voice decoder effects and instrumental.
Haven't listened to Queen's latest album yet, but I've liked her previous releases, so hopefully it won't disappoint.
