Raven-Symoné's talent is simply undeniable...
On her sophomore effort, 13-year-old Raven-Symoné decided to pursue singing instead of rapping, as she did in her debut Here's to New Dreams. Certainly this decision was for the best, and it showed the world that Raven truly did have undeniable vocal ability, even as a 13-year-old. The songs are good clean R&B and hip hop dance tracks. The lead single "With a Child's Heart" is a great display of Raven's vocals, while also remaining true to Raven's roots in rap music. The track doesn't feel intrusive at all, despite appearing on the album four times in different versions. Another highlight is Raven's cover of the R&B classic "People Make The World Go Round", as well as the ballad "Pure Love", whose vocals are slightly reminiscent of an aspiring Mariah Carey in her "Vision of Love" days. Of course, like every great album, it has its downside. Some of the songs are a bit too "family-friendly" and sound very aimed towards the pre-teen audience, which is probably the main reason why the album never took off. Tracks like "Best Friends" and "Hip Hoppers" are a little cheesy for most mature R&B fans' tastes, but the goods outweigh the bads on the album overall. With Raven-Symoné's recent increase in popularity due to her sitcom, the album has been re-issued under the title From Then Until, which is cheaply put together and features an atrocious pink cover. However, because of the shocking price of Undeniable, I recommend From Then Until. This album is perfect for any classic R&B fans.
