As the title suggests, Faith Evans' latest album, R&B Divas, is a tie-in to her reality show of the same name. But even if you've never seen the show or hate reality TV, you should have no problem getting into and enjoying the dozen mostly new tracks on this compilation. The songs -- most of which feature the other four stars of the show, plus other guest vocalists, like Fantasia and Kelly Price -- are easily some the better, more accessible tracks of Faith's career as well as the careers of some of the other singers. After her previous studio album, 2010's There's Something About Faith, it sounded at times like Faith was simply going through the motions and had lost her passion for music. But on R&B Divas, which was released in the U.S. Oct. 2, 2012, that fire has definitely been rekindled. Although this is billed solely as a Faith Evans album, the truth is the other ladies who appeared with Faith on the first season of the reality show "R&B Divas" with Faith -- Syleena Johnson, Keke Wyatt, Monifah and Nicci Gilbert -- all give memorable performances on songs throughout the album.

i am enjoying the album. there are some strong tracks. my fav being monifah’s “she’s me” and faith’s “tears of joy.” i was very disappointed that fantasia is billed as a guest on “true colors” but only offers ad libs and background vocals. overall, the album is a feel-good album.
That’s a good point about Fantasia, I hadn’t even noticed that.
