Details: Amazon.ca Christina Milian's third bid at pop stardom is most definitely the charm: a hotter, more frothed-up blend of R&B and hip-hop has yet to surface this year. What makes So Amazin' so amazing is that it doesn't tiptoe up to anything: Cool & Dre, the top-drawer production team behind this effort, leave the futzing around with ballads and vocal gymnastics to those who have time for that stuff. With Milian, the focus is all sizzling beats and breathy come-ons; you're not a second in before Young Jeezy is slamming home the platitudes and encouraging you to give it up for what you're about to hear, which is something like a street-edged assemblage of coos, slick samples, and maddening hooks. Three 6 Mafia step up to take Milian on a late-night club twirl with "Who's Gonna Ride," and Lil Wayne also gives it up in a guest spot. Call Milian a Beyonce-J.Lo wannabe if you will--and the case can even be made that she skimps on the vocals in spots--but you can't discount her taste in beat makers. With Cool & Dre on her team, count on DJs to start a new summer campaign: Make mine Milian. --Tammy La Gorce Product Description SO AMAZIN' is the follow-up to It's About Time(June 2004), a breakthrough for Christina with more than half the songs co-written by Christina. It's About Timedebuted at #14-bullet on the Billboard 200 on the strength of its first hit single, 'Dip It Low.' 'Dip It Low,' which peaked at #1 on the Dance Club Singles chart, and #3 on the Billboard Hot 100, was nominated for a 2004 Grammy Award as Best Rap/Sung Collaboration, while It's About Timewas nominated as Best Contemporary R&B Album. With her album bulleting up the charts through the summer and fall of 2004, Christina hit the road to open the North American tour schedule for Usher and Kanye West. With SO AMAZIN' on the horizon, Christina is also gearing up for the release of her next movie project. Pulse, (Weinstein Company) a horror mystery thriller directed by Jim Sonzero (War Of the Angels), and based on Kiyoshi Kurosawa's Japanese film Kairo, is scheduled for release in July. Pulse marks Christina's 8th major film role since 1990, the most recent of which were Elmore Leonard's Be Cool (2005, with John Travolta and Uma Thurman), Man Of the House (2005, with Tommy Lee Jones), video director Joseph Kahn's Torque ( 2004, with Ice Cube and Dane Cook), Troy Beyer's Love Don't Cost a Thing (2003, with Nick Cannon), and Ashton Root's Durango Kids (1999, with Larry Drake). 'Singing and acting are both my passions,' she has said of her twin career paths, 'and they go hand in hand.'
