Album Review: "How To Be A Lady: Vol 1" Electrik Red

If you dont know by now, Electrik Red is a four-woman group, consisting of Kyndra "Binkie" Reevey, Lesley Lewis, Naomi Allen and Sarah Rosete.

Reevy and Lewis (who are from NYC) were dancing in Usher's "Confessions" tour when they met and Rosette and asked if she wanted to be in their group. She agreed, only if her best friend (Allen) could be in it to. Soon after, Reevy and Lewis "fell in love" with the newest member and E;ectrik Red was formed in 2005.

While working on their album, the girls worked as dancers, appearing in videos for the likes of Mariah Carey, Chris Brown, Janet Jackson, Akon and even appearing in "Dreamgirls".

In 2008, they were signed to Def Jam after an audition for L.A Reid. Soon after, a meeting with The Dream and Tricky Stewart was set up and the girls were co-signed to The Dream's Def Jam based label, Radio Killa.

"How To Be A Lady: Vol 1" was released on May 26, 2009. The title of the album is only to poke fun at how ladies are supposed to act. The girls explain "its okay to be different".

Audio:"On Point"
Audio:"Go Shawty"

P Is For Power, the song starts off as saying, "P is for power, the U is for used to..cause my P better than the P that ya used to.." Go Shawdy is a slower song...something you could call a baby maker (I thought of sex when I heard the song, maybe thats why lol). All in all, the album gets...3 out of 5 stars from me.
