FREE: This Is My Time by Raven-Symoné (CD)

The listing, This Is My Time by Raven-Symoné (CD) has ended.

This Is My Time is sweet-faced teen queen Raven-Symone's first big-statement album: She's retiring the little girl fluff stuff, these songs seem to say, and trying on material mature enough to push her past CosmoGirl and Teen People's readerships into the grownup racks. If there's anything surprising to this, it's how well it works. First track "Mystify" is a shimmering Indian-influenced number that sidles up to the underexplored place where hip-hop meets smooth R&B; "Overloved" engages with yearn-and-burn vocals set to the wordplay of legendary songwriter Diane Warren; and "Grazing in the Grass," the CD's only cover, is playful enough to recall the old Raven but fits in here for its flirtatiousness--it intentionally invites Janet Jackson comparisons.

In great condition.
