Once she was the First Lady of Ruff Ryders and thus one of the leading figures in the still under populated sector of rappers. Then the almost obligatory visit followed the movie business and musically it was rather quiet. So is Eve's last studio album back some 12 years, and all the more satisfying it is now, to keep Lip Lock, as the title of their new album in his hands. And if the cover also likes a little reminiscent of Rihanna's long player, with already the celebrant himself Eve is any resemblance skillfully cut down, thanks to a knotless alarm maker with plenty of potential. And even if it as Make It Out This Town audible goes with numbers towards carefree pop rap, they are to Zero Below part may hardly recognize more bad she does her job even after years of break not only the other way than they did ten years ago ,
There are also guest-Parts of Missy Elliott on the evil going towards Wanna Be, Snoop Dogg on the quite successful Mama In The Kitchen and Juicy J with Pusha T, She Bad Bad spendieren the small remix that goes similarly aggressive to the subwoofer as the original, in Hook it but is also expandable. Ever everything seems a bit out of round, especially with attentive listening always fall back on small outliers. Nothing malicious serious, but enough to spoil the overall impression of Lip Lock, kept rather short with a total of only 12 tracks. At school there was this a satisfactory and even here it is enough just to a slightly above-average album, which at the very least indicates that Frauenrap still potential hosts and Eve still a balancing act between Pop and Rap dominates, as once to Whos That Girl -times.
