R&B 여가수 모니카가 4집으로 돌아왔다. 빌보드 1위 앨범 [AFTER THE STORM] 이후 3년여 만의 귀환이다. 1995년 무렵, 첫 싱글 『DON'T TAKE IT PERSONAL』을 노래하던 그 귀엽던 사춘기 소녀가 어느새 26세 숙녀로 부쩍 성숙한 모습이다. 『DON'T TAKE IT PERSONAL』, 『BEFORE YOU WALK OUT OF MY LIFE』와 더불어 "브랜디"와 함께 부른 빌보드 13주 1위곡 『THE BOY IS MINE』등의 싱글들을 연달아 히트시키면서 "브랜디", "알리야"와 함께 10대 돌풍의 주역 3인방으로 평가받았던 그녀가 내, 외적으로 완연한 성숙미를 과시하는 이번 앨범에는, 히트『EVERYTIME THA BEAT DROP』, ‘소울의 거장’ "커티스 메이필드"의 1970년 오리지널 『A DOZEN ROSES "YOU REMIND ME"』의 멜로디를 샘플로 쓴 곡으로서 이번 앨범의 백미라 할 『A DOZEN ROSES "YOU REMIND ME"』 등, "저메인 듀프리", "미씨 엘리엇", "브라이언 마이클-콕스", "언더독스" 등 팝계의 주류 트렌드를 이끄는 탑 아티스트들과 함께 만든 완성도 100점의 신곡들을 한 가득 수록하였다. 이제 우리는 음악적 예술혼이 원숙 단계로 접어든 "모니카"를 만난다! .... ....

Started as a little girl Singing so changed my world Flipped my world upside down I got lost and I couldn't be found So much on my shoulders So much on my mind Since no one can help me I think I just need some time
Sometimes I wish I could hide away Looking for a place to getaway Getaway from all the heartache and pain that life can bring I really don't want to sound Like I can't hold my ground But everybody needs some time That they can getaway
Sometimes I wish I was invisible 'Cause then no one will know Where I am to ask me for anything 'Cause I've given so much of me When it's a time for me to receive 'Cause Monica has her needs Who's going to look out for me?
Sometimes I wish I could hide away Looking for a place to getaway Getaway from all the heartache and pain that life can bring I really don't want to sound Like I can't hold my ground But everybody needs some time That they can getaway
You know I'm not superwoman And I'm not made of steel I try my best to handle All I have to deal with It's not as easy as it seems And to think this was my dream Now for everything I have I'm grateful But sometimes I want to get away
Sometimes I wish I could hide away Looking for a place to getaway Getaway from all the heartache and pain that life can bring I really don't want to sound Like I can't hold my ground But everybody needs some time That they can getaway
Sometimes I wish I could hide away Looking for a place to getaway Getaway from all the heartache and pain that life can bring I really don't want to sound Like I can't stand my ground But everybody needs some time That they can getaway
