At the very beginning of the Real Girl campaign I remember her saying she never really intended on going solo, and that she'd be more content working behind the scenes doing production work. It was her management/label that pushed her into doing the album, and when you think of all the politics/wrongdoings within the industry, you can see why she was hesitant. I also feel that her heart was never 100% in the solo game - she needs Keisha by her side at all times to keep her motivated and on track.

At one point she even had a collab lined up with Timbaland - how did things go so wrong!? It's a decent album; just not as amazing as THE MUTYA BUENA'S album should've been.

It's the exact 'urban' Mutya they should've went with, and she would've been more comfortable with her image too, I bet. I'd like to know what happened right before they announced Real Girl as the first single. There must have been big changes behind the scenes, because Heat was actually played on her official website, which would suggest it was in the running to be a (lead) single.

Never understood how they picked the songs for that album, some brilliant stuff missed out I just think Crown/Island was a mess A&R wise with Mutya's album. I get having Real Girl leading the album, but in hindsight it probably should've been a 1-2 punch.
