On her third album THE MORNING AFTER, Deborah Cox continues the upward spiral of a career that once again lands mentor Clive Davis another notch in an already impressive history of talent. Cox's devotion to Davis went so far as to have her leave Arista Records and follow him over to J Records, his latest endeavor. As for the Toronto native, her skills continue to impress and earned her the chance to once again work with a number of renowned producers including Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, Jermaine Dupri and Rodney Jerkins.
Blessed with a voice that makes her sound like a fusion of Gladys Knight and Whitney Houston, Cox's impressive range is a big reason why she's been touted as one of pop music's brighter lights. When she isn't busy working the club side of the coin with tracks like "Mr. Lonely (Hex/Mac Mix)" and "Absolutely Not (Chanel Mix)," the petite diva is easing into slow jams like "Play Your Part" and the title cut along with the groove-laden "2 Good 2 Be True." Hip-hop fans will reel in the Kurupt duet "Just A Dance" and the Allstar Remix of "Up & Down" featuring Jadakiss.
