Background

By 2001, Harrison had amassed nine Top 10 hits and sold six million albums worldwide.[1] Released July 2003, Moodring, her third studio album garnered favorable reviews from music critics and opened to her biggest first week sales.[2][3] Less than two months after its release, Moodring was certified gold by RIAA.

Critical reception

Kelefa Sanneh of the New York Times gave a mixed review for the concert and wrote, “As a singer, Mýa is a great dancer, and that’s nothing to be ashamed.” Commenting on her singing, Sanneh wrote, "O.K., her sense of pitch sometimes wandered, and it's clear that vocal improvisation isn't her strong suit." However, she noted “the music sounded best when the beats were loudest" and "her vigorous, loose-limbed movements are reflected in her music, which is sprightly, sexy and theatrical."[4]
