Preaching about religion is a favoured tactic of contemporary R’n’B groups. Fans say that it’s simply a case of the artist putting forward their love of God. Cynics argue that it fills up the lyric sheet nicely.

Whatever the truth, the first two tracks on Lil’ Mo’s debut album leave no doubt about where the singer stands on the issue. Apparently, Lil’ Mo has been "touched by God". She has news for us lucky listeners too. As the artist sings, "in each and everybody, there is a Lil’ Mo". Well, praise the Lord for that.

If you can get over the predominantly awful lines, Lil’ Mo possesses the vocal range to rival the mighty-lunged Christina Aguilera, while also bringing verve and sass to the table.
