Monica's gospel-laced vocals and self-assured swagger have the freedom to shine on her less explored cuts. On the deceptively mellow “Gone Be Fine,” the singer refuses to be taken for a ride, while on “Doin' Me Right” she coos honeyed, sultry sweet nothings over sumptuous R&B beats. But even with her raw edges and searing lyrics, it's her mastery of emotive ballads that truly resonates.
