1 CENT CD: Mozella 'I Will' female pop RnB 2006

Condition of CD:  Mint Condition!

One review reads 'Having had no prior knowledge of MoZella, I bought this CD completely on a whim (the cover art grabbed me) and having listened to it a few times, I've formed my opinion that this is worth checking out. Mozella's style has a freshness to it not often heard in the music scene. This album is accessible without coming across as cliché, something that definitely works in its favor. Steady Hip-Hop style drum beats provide the foundation for melodic guitar and keyboard parts. In a way this album reminds me of Natasha Bedingfield's "Unwritten" CD in that aspect. Fans of that album will most likely enjoy this.

The comparisons of MoZella's voice to Norah Jones are correct-she isn't necessarily a carbon-copy of Norah, but I can definitely see the similarity (that unique raspy tone). And I'd also compare her to Fiona Apple strictly in terms of tone of voice. Lyrics aren't this album's strong point though; to me, what makes it work are the catchy melodies and choruses. I don't think "You Wanted It" was the best choice for the opener, as this song is far from the strongest on the album. But tracks 2 through 6 are the meat & potatoes of this CD in my opinion. MoZella's singing compliments the songs so well on these tracks that I'd say these songs are worth the price of admission. The remaining songs are worthy as well, if a lot mellower.

All in all, MoZella's debut album would make a great addition to any collection. Not necessarily the best release of the year, but great driving music, or just music to relax to.'
