CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com On her debut album, Based on a True Story, Lil' Mo moves from behind the scenes into the spotlight. You'll probably recognize the soaring vocals on "Superwoman Pt. II" from her hook work for artists like Ja Rule and Missy Elliott. Taking almost all of the writing credits on her debut, Lil' Mo uses her imagination and her brilliant alto to let listeners know that she's more than just a pretty voice. Mo uses her evocative vocal abilities to transform the clichéd story of a little girl with big dreams on "My Story" into a moving piece of music that sends chills up the spine with every climb of her clear voice. Equally powerful is Mo's remake of Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time," where she displays the full extent of her range. Likewise, songs like "Supa Star" and "Player Not the Game," featuring Carl Thomas, will send you on an ethereal ride through Lil' Mo's intricately woven world. Lil' Mo's in full command of her voice and material on Based on a True Story, and after one listen, you'll marvel at this new super-singer. --Felicia A. Wilks Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsNo need to purchase this import J. Berry | San Francisco | 08/10/2007 (3 out of 5 stars) "You don't have to buy the import. those two songs are on the regular US version" Based on a True Story Geminigirl | Philadelphia, PA United States | 05/04/2008 (3 out of 5 stars) "I became curious about Lil Mo after seeing her perform on a BET Gospel show last year along with Fantasia & Coco. I love her voice and was impressed by the fact that she wrote & or co-wrote all but 3 songs on this debut disc. She definitely shines more on the ballads but she's also a strong enough vocalist to sing over the harder edged hip hop tracks. The standout tracks to me are: I LOVE THE LORD - feaatures a gorgeous opening refrain SUPERWOMAN, PT II - interesting arrangement along with Fabolous' rap created one of the more memorable songss on this disc PLAYER NOT THE GAME - strong duet with Carl Thomas TA DA - I like the lyrics and Mo sounds great but the background singers kind of overshadow the track HOW MANY TIMES - really pretty ballad The only track that really disappointed me is her remake of TIME AFTER TIME - this is one of my all time favorite songs and I love it when artists tackle remakes but Mo did not do enough with this song to distinguish it from the original. Overall, this is a good debut from a strong r&b vocalist/songwriter. I have since purchased Mo's subsequent albums and can't wait to hear how she's improved." Hot!!! a must-buy!!! Jo | Boston, MA | 08/28/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "some people don't get this album cuz they're not from the ghetto like i am. it really shows Lil' Mo's character and the lyrics r really really really really gewd & clever!"
