Some singers sing, but Kelly Price can blow. Respected by such heavyweights as Whitney Houston, with whom she performed the single "Heartbreak Hotel" on Houston's My Love Is Your Love, Price paid her dues as a backup singer for big-name artists such as Mariah Carey, Faith Evans, Brian McKnight, and Aretha Franklin. And those experiences serve her well on her sophomore effort, which showcases this singer's beautiful, church-honed soprano and heartfelt emotional range. On "She Wants You," Price bares her soul, warning her naïve lover that she's "never gonna let another one take what's mine." On the flip side, Price slips into the conflicting role of the other woman in her excellent remake of Shirley Murdock's yearning classic "As We Lay." Price's cover version was produced by Shep Crawford and Montell Jordan, whose sparse musical backdrop complements Price's acrobatic vocals. Changing the pace a bit, the club-ready "Good Love" and the bluesy, mid-tempo "Can't Run Away" offer a nice diversion from the album's predominantly smooth grooves. Perhaps the most daring track is the three-way ballad "All I Want Is You," on which K-Ci and Gerald Levert compete vocally for Price's affections. With Mirror, Mirror, Kelly Price makes it clear that she won't be relegated to the background, and given her soulful voice and magnetic presence, we're happy to see her getting top billing.

Like Mary J. Blige, Price has a big, bad, beautiful voice. And like Blige, she often chooses smart material to go along with that big, bad, beautiful voice. On her second album, she goes through many R&B motions -- over-singing, pallid bedroom songs, tuneless tales -- but still manages to sound like a genuinely thrilled diva in the process. Filled with slow jams, slick hip-hop, and gospel, Mirror Mirror is a more rounded record than Price's debut. Best is a cover of Shirley Murdock's "As We Lay" played like a Broadway curtain-closer. It reveals Price's penchant for theatricality and demonstrates her warmth as a singer. She puts an individualist's stamp on the album, a looking glass, if you will, into her soul. Michael Gallucci
