Just when you thought the current surplus of pop princesses would cause the leather-miniskirted bottom to drop out, along vamps Christina Milian with a crackling new CD whose 12 songs outshine "AM to PM," her 2001 hit. In the Cuban-American Milian, J-Lo has found her heir apparent (not that she was looking): The songs spotlight a similar sex-i-fied energy, jumbling attitude, vulnerability, and a jigger of jadedness into a heaving, R&B-leaning, red-hot heap. The secret is whip-smart production--credit players who have worked with Alicia Keys, J-Lo, and Mariah Carey--especially on "I Need More," which showcases an array of pings, pulses, and from-the-gut guitar. When we're not singing along to lyrics like "It'll be a cold day in hell before you see your girl shed another tear, boy you better hear me," bottom lip pushed out for emphasis, we're shouting "go, girl" from the sidelines. Or at least wanting to. If the radio hit "Dip It Low" hasn't pushed you to pick up this disc already, it is, in fact, about time. --Tammy La Gorce
Album Description
You know her from the infectious single "AM To PM" which hit the top position on Billboard's Hot 100 Singles chart in 2001, yet that was just a taste of what this multi-faceted young woman is capable of.Christina Milian is a multi-talented phenomenon whose resume includes film, television, theater and music. With starring roles in feature films and her highly-anticipated debut album "It's About Time" ready for release, Milian is poised to take the entertainment industry by storm. One listen to "It's About Time" and it is clear that Christina is in a decidedly more mature space. "I'm older now. When "AM To PM" came out I was a teenager. Now I'm 22 and so songs on this album have a little more depth to them." The depth is evident by the album's R&B vibe and lyrics that have a bit more edge. You can feel the sexy point of view on cuts like the up-tempo "Love." Produced by Warryn Campbell and featuring label mate Joe Budden, "Love" vibrates with a retro 80's dance club feel.

"It's About Time" Christina Made a Good CD
Do you remember Christina Milian? Probably not. In 2001, the former junior journalist for the Disney Channel landed a single called "AM to PM" on the charts. It fared moderately well, while the album it came from did not. Three years later, Milian returns in her early twenties and marks the occasion with a clever and ubiquitous slice of high-class raunch called "Dip It Low." This turns out to be the biggest -- but not only -- highlight of her second album. It falls somewhere between Beyoncé's Dangerously in Love and Jennifer Lopez' This Is Me... Then in sound and scope, and yet it isn't quite as remarkable as either. Bloodshy & Avant, the two primary producers who reprise their roles from Milian's first album, hand the singer at least three other songs that have the potential to be played on radio and television with at least half as much frequency as the lead single. This should push her well beyond one-smash-and-out status. The club tracks work best and easily outrank the slower songs. Despite the album's handful of bright spots, Milian will need to be more convincing during the ballads next time out in order to be considered a true force.
Also check out her latest album, "So Amazin'" and if you can, get ahold of "Christina Milian", her debut.
It's About Time for some good R&B
I must say that after hearing Christina's UK only album i had my doubts that i would ever be a huge christina fan. I mean her 1st album was good but nothing great. This time around its a different story. Her new cd is much more up beat with fairly catchy hooks. Even the beats are pretty good. L.O.V.E. and Get Lose are really good songs. I Need More is interesting. This cd is MUCH better than her new one Ao Amazin'. Pick it up and hear it for yourself
Something went wrong...
After listening to 'Dip It Low,' you would figure that this would be a good dance Pop/R&B album. You would be horribly wrong. The album lacks everything, from depth and melody, to organization and reason. Though not so great, there are a few good songs that stand out.
1. Dip It Low- Catchy and cool. 8/10.
2. I Need More- Too many sounds going on. 3/10.
3. Whateva U Want- Good, but too average. 6/10.
4. Someday One Day- Better. 7/10.
5. Highway- Different and sexy. 6/10.
6. I'm Sorry- No melody or organization. 4/10.
7. Get Loose- Slick dance track. 7/10, but plain.
8. L.O.V.E.- Different with an 80`s vibe, but a little much at times. 7/10.
9. Peanut Butter Jelly- Horrible. 2/10.
10. Miss U Like Crazy- Just good. 6/10.
11. Oh Daddy- Emotional, but good. 6/10.
62/110- 56%: ** - **1/2
