Based On A True Story
On her debut album,Based on a True Story, Lil' Mo moves  from behind the scenes into the spotlight. You'll probably recognize  the soaring vocals on "Superwoman Pt. II" from her hook work for  artists likeJa RuleandMissy Elliott.  Taking almost all of the writing credits on her debut, Lil' Mo uses her  imagination and her brilliant alto to let listeners know that she's  more than just a pretty voice. Mo uses her evocative vocal abilities to  transform the clichéd story of a little girl with big dreams on  "My Story" into a moving piece of music that sends chills up the spine  with every climb of her clear voice. Equally powerful is Mo's remake ofCyndi Lauper's"Time After Time," where she displays the full extent of her range.  Likewise, songs like "Supa Star" and "Player Not the Game," featuringCarl Thomas,  will send you on an ethereal ride through Lil' Mo's intricately woven  world. Lil' Mo's in full command of her voice and material onBased  on a True Story, and after one listen, you'll marvel at this new  super-singer.--Felicia A. Wilks
