American R&B singer Monica made her debut in 1995 with the album Miss Thang. The single Don't Take It Personal from this CD gave her a big hit. The Boy Is Mine is a worthy successor to this successful album. The CD sounds convincing and varied. In addition to languid R&B songs like Inside, For You I Will and Take Him Back, with a borrowed melody from Stings Fragile, Monica makes forays into
… the swing beat (Street Symphony), old soul (a remake of Dorothy Moore's Misty Blue) and rap ( Gone Be Fine). Top producers such as David Foster, Dallas Austin, Jermaine Dupri and Daryl Simmons took care of the production. Just like on her debut, the song material is largely by Dallas Austin. She also sings by Dianne Warren For You Will and Inside. There are still covers from Eternals Angel Of Mine and Richard Marx 'Right Here Waiting. Brandy (The Boy Is Mine), 112 and Outkast cooperated.
