She worked late nineties with DMX, the Ruff Ryders camp and stood at Dr.Dre under contract. After eleven years of musical abstinence EVE now released their fourth studio album Lip Lock. By his own admission she just needed some time out to refocus mainly in private life. The good thing is, I feel it, now she says about her album. A few years ago was an album with Here I am in the starting blocks, the response to the first song of this work, however, was poor, and it was never released. With smaller film roles she held still talking and now returns with 12 new songs into the spotlight. You still sounds hungry, focused and presents itself still with secure flow. Only the productions make it clear that she has obviously lost its credit in the scene, or perhaps want to show with the intention of Mainstream the cold shoulder to casually pursue the path they now want for their music. Except Swizz Beatz and Salaam Remi has only committed this country unknown beat wizard 2nd league for their comeback, and then makes some missteps and too much electronic gimmick unfortunately also noticeable. One must not speak ill Lip Lock anyway, after all, at the very personal and groovy track Never Gone convinces with a lot of feeling and depth. Although Snoop Dogg provides a rather lame commentary, with Pusha T. and Juicy J. is still at least a little bit by the road, from which it was once brought to the rap business make their mark. A mixed comeback with some ups and Kopfnicker moments, but unfortunately many gap fillers.
