Adina Howard Nue

Adina Howard Nue Control is a much sought after necessity for any artist. Adina Howard approached her second album, Welcome To Fantasy Island, ready to exercise her power externally and internally. She shocked the music industry with her landmark 1995 gold debut album Do You Wanna Ride, which featured the platinum single "Freak Like Me," a sexually defiant, charged-up calling card that redefined the boundaries for female singers in the '90's. As a host of streetwise femme fatales followed in her wake, 1997 found the chameleon-like Adina reinventing herself once again, fueling her sophomore effort, Welcome To Fantasy Island, with cool funk and sultry ballads, but delivering it with the finesse of a veteran. Whether it's house burning fare like the pumped up first single, "(Freak) And U Know It," (produced by DJ Quik), the slithering opener "Welcome To My Queendom," or the album's sensuous interlude "Another Level," Adina heightens the artistry without sacrificing any of the raw power she exuded on the first LP.
