Beauty and the Streets: Mixtape, Vol. 1 Reviews:
This should have been Mya's sound from the beginning 
2009-11-17 - seems she had fun with this one and it sounds so much better than her past albums. I am glad she is off that other labe because they really held her back! Good job Mya!
BRILLIANT!!! MYA IS ON FIRE!!!! MORE THAN 5 STARS!!!
2009-11-06 - I got to tell you; I'am NOT into hip-hop but this fantastic album has made me stand up and REALLY take notice!!!! This album is FIIIIIRRRRRREEEEE!!!!! MYA PUT IT DOWN!!! YOU will not be disappointed and interestingly enough there is something inspirational and motivational as she reveals what she's been through in life and in this industry. I get the STRONG feeling someone tried to sabotage her career and I have an idea who. Because MYA is a major talent no matter what you say; it's a fact!! She keeps coming back with quality and I get the feeling this is JUST what was needed at this time!!! Take note cd was sold out when I went to get it! Great from start to finish and NO I'am NOT a groupie!!!! No need to fast-forward!!!! LOLOLOLOL
Fire.....Best Album in a While by a female
2009-11-05 - Mya is back and this by far her best. It should've been an album, or should I say it the type of album the we've been waiting for. Album quality with that rugged raw feel. It's crazy. "I'm back" and "About My B.I." are kool tracks, they kind of have a down south feel, which is heavy right now. Although they aren't my favs. "Boss" is a crazy track with an old school feel but it's decent. "Ponytail" is a ladies anthem and Nikki brings her part, the sound of it makes you want to hear more it. "$$ Can't Buy My Love" has a sunny day feel to it...I like to cruise to this song. Control freak also has an ol' skool feel to it which i really like. Mya is expanding her vocals and experimenting with a variety of different genres and sounds, and it works for her. I absolutely love it. "Club Go Crazy" I do not like it maybe bacuse of Chamillionaire, I'm not sure why it doesn't work for me. Manaholic.....yes, this song is fire it makes you shiver and tingle and just want to move. "Go Hard or Go Home" is a good song, a lot of ppl can relate to it, it is a very good track one my favorites. "Full service" might be top favorite. I love this song, Mya ran this song. The "Only One", there are 2 versions of this song. They are both crazy. the newer one sounds better with the song, but the older one has a soothing beat that entices you. "Work it out" and "Blackout" are also very good tracks. Hr version is better than Rihanna's she gave it power and sass. This album is incredible I told everyone I know about it. Go Get it if you haven't got it already...She needs videos, she should treat it like an album. Heard it once and immediately purchases it from Itunes. Now im mad cuz my ipod is stolen and i can listen to it in the car like i used to...
MYA IS BACK & ON FIRE! LOVE IT!
2009-10-30 - OMG! Love it! MYA IS BACK! This album is B-A-D-D! Mya really came hard with this one ladies, you gotta get it! Mya is in control & secure with herself on this CD. Its the type of CD you can listen to without skipping ANY tracks. Its THAT good. I was so disappointed after her label did NOT release Liberation. I have alwayz loved Mya. She is a great talent & its sad that ppl dont give her credit & her label doesnt believe in her & promote her enuf. Mya has a beautiful voice & face & shes a wonderful dancer! Hopefully with this CD, ppl will FINALLY see her true potential. WE LOVE YOU MYA! KEEP UR HEAD UP!
My fav tracks are:
1) Control Freak
2) Manoholic
3) About My B.I
4) Now or Lata.
Ladies, DONT wait till "Lata", get it "NOW"! Mya is on fire!
Mya is back!
2009-10-26 - This cd is so good its worth being an actual album; who needs a mix tape with material this good. Mya sounds very in control of her own destiny on this 15 track set. The songs come off as mature, sexy and sassy. 9 of the 15 tracks feature guests, like Slim Thug, Bun B and Zro, but she honestly doesn't need them.
-
Album Highlights:
Control Freak f. Gator Mane (5/5 song has a killer rock riff for the beat)
-
I'm Back f. Slim Thug (5/5 song title says it all Mya is back!)
-
Club go Crazy (5/5 Mya would command the attention of the club with this track.I could see me and my girls going crazy when this track comes on.)
-
Ponytail (4/5 playful and sexy)
-
Now or Lata f. Blo Pop (4/5 sassy and a great track to sing a long to)
-
The mixtape only looses steam towards the end with songs like "The only one and "Black out" Overall this is a fun listening experience, it'll leave you eager for her official return.
