On her debut album, Point of No Return, 20-something diva Shareefa Cooper shows and proves that she's not just another disposable, here today/gone tomorrow R&B-Hip-Hop singer. As evident by her first single, "Need A Boss," 'Reefa is smokin.' Unfortunately, like many debuting artists, her album's a little inconsistent - the songs range in quality from incredible to mediocre. But she displays enough vocal skill, songwriting ability and potential to make the album worth hearing. For more on Point of No Return, check out your Guide to R&B's album review.
