With her full-throated alto and her world-weary tone, newcomer Syleena Johnson conjures up the sort of dyed-in-the-wool, down-home soul that used to be par for the course. She comes by that soul genetically: Her dad is ... more »R&B legend Syl Johnson but his baby girl is no retro act. Her been-done-wrong anthems, told as a chapter from a young woman's life, have the sassy attitude of today but are seasoned by a womanliness that is often AWOL from the more hip kid-driven R&B. Working with labelmates R. Kelly and Liberty City, Syleena has made a soulful CD that feels real and sounds lived through. --Amy Linden« less

"This Cd was well made, I never heard of Syleena Johnson before. But for once I'm glad that I took the chance and bought this album. Every song one this album is good. He's Gonna Do You In #10 should be a single. She even wrote on most of the songs. Syleena Johnson will be around for a long time. R&B needs someone like her at this time."
I NEEDED THIS!

"I am seriously LOVING this CD!!! Syleena has the voice of an angel. I was going through some confusing things in my life and "Baby I'm So Confused" just really hit home with me, so it's my Favorite song. The entire CD is wonderful. I won't even attempt to name all the great songs though because it would be listing most of the CD! Do yourself a favor and buy Syleena's album. You need it in your life! I know that I certainly did! I Love You Syleena! Thank you for a wonderful CD!"
"As a fan of pure new school r&b I wasn't expetcing too much here, the only reason that I got was because I was loving the first single and I couldn't find it anywhere. If you love smooth singing and interesting beats, then you'll probably do good by buying Syleena Johnson's record, she's got some pipes on her that could put you at ease in any situation. Besides I am Your Woman, my favorite tracks are You Said with Liberty City, He's Gonna Do You In, which is almost funny and You Ain't Right, one or two more "happy" songs would've done this record better, you'll feel like crying in the middle of it."
The Voice

"That wonderful Alto voice that sometimes reminds me of Angela Bofill and a soulful rasp that reminds me of Billie Holiday. The album is solid but I really wish that she would get better material because the voice deserves better.
The important thing is that she can sang. One of those Church singers but with lots of control.
If you miss real singers, then you gonna like this."
Great Voice, Average Songs

"While Sylenna Johnson offers us some much needed R&B today - in a world where it has the same textured beats and hardly any differences between artists - the album is fairly weak, but also quite good in some areas. She is more R&B in the soul sense, than say, most of the female R&B singers out today that are popular. The first single "I Am Your Woman" is a powerful ballad which shows the range she can acheive with her voice. Other highlights include "You Said", "Hit On Me", "You Ain't Right", and "All Of Me". However, many of the other songs are on the weaker side. I think with the right songs she could create a stellar album. Overall this is a nice start, and I can't wait to hear CHAPTER TWO of this book."
