Maybe the first album, or at least one of the first, entirely hip house. Antoinette makes it, it's her sophomore and last effort in career. The hip house hadn't been received with too much enthusiasm, and probably marks the end of her career, despite the fact that it managed to enter the R&B chart, towed by a couple of singles ("Never Get Enough", "She Operates Around the Clock"). The production invented by I.G. Off, Jay Ellis, Kurtis Mantronik, Antoinette, Dee Dee, Kenni Hairston, Trevor Gale and Eric Lynch, with instrumentals played by Phil Chiore (keyboards), is simplistic, minimal, tight, not too accessible for an untrained ear, while Antoinette sounds pretty well despite her deliver is slowly and syncopated, with rare variations (faster in the second part), and the LP has trivial or pop-dance hooks: released by Next Plateau Records, musically it's a bad record and lyrically generic, not recommended, 4/10.
