Christina Milian is a multi-talented phenomenon whose resume includes film, television, theater and music. With starring roles in two upcoming feature films this year and hard at work on her highly-anticipated debut album, Milian is poised to take the entertainment industry by storm.
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. An accomplished singer, songwriter, dancer, TV personality and actress, Christina has become a star of international proportions. She's gone platinum, written hits for a slew of international acts, hosted MTV's ?Wannabes,' enjoyed two Top 5 hits on the UK charts, recorded a smash that was #1 on RadioDisney for 12 weeks, had roles in several feature films and brought her intoxicating pop/R&B grooves world wide.
Add to Christina's amazing list of accomplishments this; her long-awaited Island release It's About Time. Featuring production from some of the heaviest hitters in R&B including Warryn Campbell (Alicia Keys, Brandy), Corey Rooney (Jennifer Lopez, Mariah Carey), Polli Paul (Black Eyed Peas), Bryan Cox (Usher, Lil Bow Wow) and songs co-written by Christina, It's About Time is a sizzling indication of who Christina is and where she's at.
As Christina explains it, "Obviously the title refers to the length of time that it took me to complete this and finally have an album available in the US. But the other meaning is that I've learned that everything in my career has to do with timing. Clearly I could have rushed to put an album out two years ago when I first had a hit single, but because I had to wait, it worked out for the best. Everything happened for a reason, and it's made me who I am. Which means that this album is really a reflection of me."
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 uptempo "Love." Produced by Warryn Campbell and featuring labelmate Joe Budden, "Love" vibrates with a retro 80's dance club feel.
Another track guaranteed to make you move is the rhythmic "Peanut Butta and Jelly," produced by KP and EZ Tommy. "I love that song," Christina offers. "It's got this real energized beat; it totally makes you wanna dance. It's gonna be a great song for my live shows". Equally propulsive is the first single "Dip It Low," which came via new comer Polli Paul. Although Christina is one of the industry's most in-demand songwriters (she co-wrote Jennifer Lopez's hit "Play"), sometimes she seeks out inspiration elsewhere. With her album nearly completed Christina knew that something was missing and as fate would have it a friend turned her on to a hot producer. "When I met Polli and he played me "Dip It Low" I just flipped. The song was crazy, so I just went right back into the studio to record it and everyone just loved it."
