Posted June 6, 200718 yr • From NME UK's review of Mutya Buena's new album, Real Girl: Mutya Buena was destined for a solo career. One that her pierced gob, cleavage, tats and arctic stare suggested might fall somewhere between Amy Winehouse's plastered songbook and CSS's b**ch-pop. Shame then that 'Real Girl' reveals she just wanted to be Mariah Carey. Neo-soul opener 'Just A Little Bit' and that Lenny Kravitz sample aside, it's a debut's worth of octave-warbling, R&B dross.
