Blew My Mind

"Minga, it seems, is one of those "sweet secrets" in music. I say "secret" because this CD is such a cool surprise, I'm around a lot of music, and I've yet to see Minga on MTV or VH1. But from the way her music sounds, that should only be a matter of time, I guess. Anyway, Flipside is an EP. It's only got five songs, but when you consider they're all great, I'd say that's a good batting average, huh? My favorites: The first track "Good" and the title song, "Flipside." The former is serious chillout, downtempo-style sexy -- something you groove to with a glass of something in your hand (I work at a trendy NYC bar/lounge, so I know!). The latter is funky and uptempo, with cool horns and a cool rap interlude. Basically, if you want something special, Minga delivers!"
Wickedly Seductive

"Minga's smoothness is her strength, as her delivery epitomizes the very laid back, very sexy themes of Flipside. Complimented by solid songwriting and dreamy-to-danceable instrumentation, her sultry vocals parlay the smoky romanticism of retro-jazz greats into a satifyingly modern R&B sound, making this an absolutely astounding debut."

"On Flipside, Minga proves that her writing talents are on a par with her solid singing ability and musicianship. She especially displays a knack for juxtaposing her velvety voice over instrumentation that enhances the sensuality of each song, making Flipside the perfect CD for a night "IN.""
