Flashback Who's That ...

Flashback Who's That Thursday:

Singer Mya Harrison was born in Washington D.C. On October 10-1979.  In her late teens she signed to A&M records.  Her first two CD's were million sellers,  her star was about to get red hot from the success of the 'Moulin Rouge' movie and soundtrack, the hugely successful single Lady Marmalade with Pink, Christina Aguilera and Lil Kim' next came her appearing in the movie 'Chicago'.  She was riding the wave, but it was time for her to return to her solo recording career.  She released Moodring her third studio album. It was her last studio album for then record label A&M and Interscope Records released July 22, 2003. 

Production on Moodring was primarily handled by an array of producers; Harrison enlisted the assistance of producers Missy Elliott,TimbalandRockwilderJimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, and a handful of others.  With this album, Harrison wrote “99.9%” of her own lyrics and co-produced many of the album’s tracks.  During the process of recording the album, Harrison funded her own studio time and used several songs she recorded two years ago from her archive of music.  Moodring, in Harrison’s words is an experimental, somewhat bi-polar album with contemporary R&B/pop-influenced fusing jazztechnoreggae, and hip-hop substance. Harrison released two addition CD's in 2007 and 2011 both were met with little to no acclaim.
