Review The first single release from the album "Again" gives us an insight into Faith's life in her three year hiatus. This track highlights her growth and pain during this period, 'I wouldn't take away the rain cos I know it made me who I am';the singer has been through some tough timesand hasnow proudly reemerged stronger on the other side.
The First Lady boasts productions by the likes of The Neptunes, Jermaine Dupri, Todd Russaw (Mr Faith Evans) as well as a romantic duet - "Ever Wonder" - with Mario Winans. Faith's musical range is wide and varied, from up-tempo R&B to more traditional soul, there's a depth to her talent that many up and coming artists can only dream about. I would hate to think that you would have to suffer great pain to make great music, but on the evidence here it sure does help.
"I Don't Need It" has a distinctive rare groove flava and rides over the Jones Girls classic "Nights Over Egypt". "Mesmerized" takes us even further back in time, its funky 60s beat and Aretha style vocals scream (very) old Skool Diva! The final track "Hope", featuring Twista, ends the album on an uplifting note. A fitting finale to an emotional journey.
TheFirstLady reflects a mature and wise Faith; it comes straight from the heart and is personal, sexy and deeply soulful - this is an album for the grown ups. In her own words, 'Nobody can do what Faith Evans does like Faith Evans does'. --Denise Boyd

1.Goin' Out (Featuring Pharrell & Pusha T) - One of the highlights on the album this Neptunes produced track is one of the best up-tempo tracks shes ever done its a song about just going out and having fun it has a great beat accompanied by a rap by Pusha T of The Clipse possible single material 10/10
2.Again - The lead single which was a smash hit all over the world even reached #12 on the UK charts which i think is her highest solo position ever its got a nice sulty 70's vibe to it,its a really good way of gettin back at the media for sayin she had a drug problem beautiful vocals on this one 10/10
3.I Don't Need It - Middle Eastern-type beat at the start then it flips it into a soulful groove the lyrics are good and her vocals shine on this one too.It's dancable and is just a feel good song 10/10
4.Stop N Go - Faith dabbles in a bit of Neo-Soul with this track which stands as one of my favourite songs she uses basketball as a metaphore for her relationship with her man its a good song to just sit down and groove to the chorus is really nice its just a really nice soulful song 10/10
5.Mesmerized - Rumoured to be the next single its got a really great jazzy groove to it u cant help but tap your foot considering the popularity of this track this could be a sucessful single release lets hope so 'coz its criminal to ignore this track 10/10
6.Tru Love - To my suprise on readin the booklet i noticed Jermaine Dupri produced this song which i was really shocked because its nothin' like hes older productions (Usher's U-Turn, Jagged Edge's Where The Part At) its a really sweet song about her husband (forget his name now) i play this song alot 10/10
7.Jealous - Before the release of the album this was rumoured to be the 1st lead single instead on "Again" i dont think would have done as good as "Again" has but its a really reall good song we all feel like this u just gotta listen to lyrics it actually made me laugh 'coz the song just reminds me of myself. I'm loving the fluffy piano loop pure class! 10/10
8.Ever Wonder (Featuring Mario Winans) - Now lets recap Mario Winans had that #1 single "I Dont Wanna Know" as productions concerned nowadays he just doesnt change his style this song sounds like Tamia's Mr Cool & Guerilla Blacks tune its a good duet but its the weakest song i usually skip it 3/10
9.Catching Feelings - Great slowjam its very dreamy and floaty but..it just seems like a song Blu Cantrell dismissed not a favourite at all 5/10
10.Get Over You - Ahh we're back on track with great songs its got that Musiq Soulchild vibe to it airy and old skool nice vocals the lyrics arent the best but its a good song 8/10
11.Until You Came - My favourite song on the album why? well not only has it got that great old school soul vibe i can relate to this song 100% lol i actually felt a bit embarrased listenin to this as its so much like me especially wen she starts talking half way through 10/10
12.Lucky Day - Its all about the beat with this one love the bass who ever's playin it are talented does make u wanna get up and dance 9/10
13.Hope (Featuring Twista) - Its a bit over played now but i did used to really like it much better than the one on Twista's album with Cee-Lo 8/10
