I downloaded a few tracks off of Ms. Dynamite's album and thought they were quite good. "It Takes More" has been stuck in my head for a few days. I don't usually go for contemporary R&B, but I think that I'll be picking this one up tomorrow. Anyone else going to get it?

I know that she comes from a two-step background, but from what I've heard, this album isn't in that genre. What're some of her two-step singles?

BTW, how was her performance on SNL? I missed it.

I haven't heard anything about it other than what I've read in Q. There seems to be a lot of hype around her though.

So she's 2-step?

I bought this disc today and really like it. The slower ballads are okay, but I am really digging the more hip-hop/dancehall-esque songs. And there's even some two-step stuff towards the end. I say, believe the hype. It's some of the best R&B out now. I'd have to agree with a review that I read - this is how Lauryn Hill's follow-up should've sounded like (rather than her disc of diatribes and half finished songs).

"Dy-na-mi-tee" is an excellent song with some dancehall flavor. "Krazy Krush" is just too cool for radio.
