I could cry how much this album has INSPIRED me.Īnd the vocal talent of Monica……WOW! It gives me goosebumps! Put respect on songstress Monica! Her and Debra Killings sound AMAZING together. The album is just as fresh and fly today as it was in 1995. Dre wrote and played instruments on Miss Thang….it is a project blessed with so much talent it’s crazy. Something is unique about the sound of “Miss Thang”! Talent coming straight off “The Chronic” sessions with Dr. The look and feel of the album….super producer Dallas Austin moving to New York being set up officially as an executive by Clive Davis and Monica stepping out her comfort zone shooting iconic images for the album in New York is a freshness actually in the FEELING of the album. It’s so weird but I always have seen the recording sessions while listening to this album even as a very young teen. When I listen to the album I literally SEE the now legendary trio of exceptional talent that is Dallas Austin, Monica and Debra Killings. The beautiful Monica! Monica’s “Miss Thang” is a hallmark in contemporary R&B/Pop.
