Christina Milian New Album Release !
At twenty-four , stunning songstress Christina Milian understands all too well what it takes to be a star . “ When it came time for me to work on my third album , SO AMAZIN ’, I knew that I needed to record material that had a realness ,” explains Christina . “ I still wanted to make dance tracks , but I also needed to express more of myself at the same time .” Using the blueprint of rhythmic icons Janet Jackson and the late Aaliyah , the singer / songwriter decided that the first step towards musical difference would be finding a team of producers who could musically transfer her inner feelings into outer hotness . It was during this period that Christina first met Cool & Dre .
Having appeared in such popular films as Be Cool ( alongside John Travolta , Uma Thurman and Steven Tyler ), Love Don ’ t Cost A Thing

After filming , she took a break away from the camera for the months it took her to finish SO AMAZIN ’. “ I was so committed to this project , making it my number one priority ,” Christina recalls . “ It was important that I be focused on music , so while I was working I passed on other films and reading scripts . It was more important that I make a hot album .” Without a doubt , she has succeeded .
