Unfortunately, Raven-Symoné is always automatically slapped with a 'Disney artist' label because of her past associations with the company. This is understandable, but it's time people move past that..and she is making just that statement with her fourth studio album, 'Raven-Symoné'. The album is full of uptempo R&B club bangers like "What Are You Gonna Do?", "Green", and "Girl Get It", as well as well-crafted pop/R&B ballads like "Anti-Love Song" and "Love Me or Leave Me", which surprisingly adds a little rock tinge to the chorus. While some of the songs come off as unnecessarily arrogant, you can tell it's all sang in good fun and aimed to make the record an overall party album. Raven has pulled just that off.

Raven-Symoné's new album will definitely shock the ears of her fans, and of people who have doubt in her, saying that she is "too Disney," or aims for a "younger crowd."

Raven works with Producers like Sean Garrett (Beyoncé), Kwame, Oak of the Knightwritaz, The J.A.M., and a bunch more!

The songs on the album make you feel good, sure, their are many songs you can dance to, there is only one song that is slow called "Hollywood Life," which is a great song!

Overall, I would give the album an 'A-', it is so much better than Symoné's 2004 "This Is My Time."

BEST TRACKS:

All of them....HONESTLY!

Raven's new album is unbelieveable. She has always had strong vocals, which I love that's way I love this album, because she really brought it in this album. It is way better than This Is My Time. All the songs are like she said more of a up beat album. GREAT ALBUM!!!!!!

I really love all the songs in this album.They are very mature song, and if you have grown with her I highly recommend it.Let me warn you this not like her album This is my Time.This album is more on her R&B side then Pop.One best songs in this album are Anti-Long Song and Hollywood Life.If you don't want to buy the whole CD(Which you should) buy those songs and listen for yourself.MUST BUY!

I just happened upon this album(cd)when I was trying to pick up "College Road Trip" for my daughter. I decided to pick it up because of all the positive reviews I saw on amazon.

All I can say is wow...What is really going on? Why is everyone sleeping on her talent! I know I didn't even know she had an album out last year. Where is the promotion...well anyway she has come along way from Oliva on The Cosby Show and her Characters on Disney!

She has blosomed into a beautiful young lady and her music had great dance beats and pop tunes that I truly enjoyed. I believe if they gave her songs some more air time her star would definetly raise even further than acting because she was gifted with a true talented voice.

Too bad people won't let her grow up!!! She is more than a Cheetah Girl!!!

Bottom line its a great price, great message, and the cherry on top is the great music!!!
