The soul-kissed and acoustic guitar-laced "U Lied" is the type of tale that "My Life"-era Mary J. Blige would have wholly embraced. At its core, "U Lied" revolves around deception and pain. "I was good enough to lay with/Good enough to keep you warm/Good enough to call at midnight/When you need to get your freak on/But you let me down/Introducing me as your friend," newcomer Crea sings. But this Alabama-reared singer/songwriter knows that blame goes both ways. Still, she wails, "You should have been more truthful about it/You take advantage of me/Don't try to change that shit now, boy." By song's end, Crea is ready to move on—feeling empowered and a bit wiser. Let's hope that her debut album, "Mystory" (due in June), like its lead single, will overflow with equal amounts of love, truth and sensuality.—MP
