Amazon.co.uk Review
After a long winter of discontent, So Addictive sees Missy
hoping to initiate hip-hop's summer of love. Miss E's third
album is dosed with feel-good flavour and has more guests
than the VIP section of the hippest hip-hop hot spot. Buddies
Method Man and Redman bark across the bridge of "Dog
In Heat"'s canine funk. Jay-Z and Ludacris feature on
two different versions of "One Minute Man"'s scathing
soul. Synths tweak and creak in rhythm as Missy unleashes
a dreamy diss of those hopeless suitors who unload their cargo
before they've sparked her ignition. "Take Me Away"
features Pony man Ginuwine on a hypnotic slow burner heavily
reminiscent of Art Of Noise's "Moments in Love".
Lil Mo, Busta Rhymes and Da Brat appear elsewhere. When she
is left to her own devices, as she is on "Lick Shots"
(which jangles like Django Rheinhardt on downers), Missy comes
on like Schooly D, a fearless, female gangsta licking shots
across the brow of those who dare cross her. On "Scream"
she breaks into a soprano. A four-four stomp is stamped indelibly
across the ecstasy-holler song "4 My People" (featuring
Eve). Overall, it feels as if Timbaland has muted his experimental
leanings on this outing with his favourite muse in favour
of submersible club tracks. Musically, the bhangra-beat bop
of "Get Ur Freak On" is the stand out. The spiral
timing of "Whatcha Gon Do", the fret-skipping "Slap!
Slap Slap!" (featuring Da Brat) and the sunken, drunken
funk of the not-so-subtle X-hex "Xtasy" are tied
at a close second. --Chris Campion
