In da club. In the lounge. In the way that says "night time is the right time," Minga captures the smoldering essence of after-dark cosmopolitan life. Flipside, her debut solo effort, features a sultry union - Minga's sensual vocal vibe wrapped around warm jazz textures and chill R&B grooves. As far as threesomes go, this one bears infinite musical fruit: songs that burn brightly with neo-soul energy; tracks that scorch themselves onto your memory.

Co-produced by Minga and Danny de la Isla (Anastacia, George Winston), Flipside ventures to nocturnal musical environs where the universal love jones lives amidst lush horns, languorous guitars, and deep, coercive beats. "The late-night feel plays on both physical and emotional levels," says Minga, "because those hours are magical, and because falling in love, being in love, is like that - physical, emotional, rapturous."

Flipside is "like that" too - rapturous, all-encompassing. From the flirtatious admonitions of lead-off track "Good;" the playful sexuality of "Strange Together;" the resolute vulnerability of "Easy For You;" the "swinga" in Minga on the trumpet-filled title track; and finally, the happy-ending hopefulness of "Perfectly." Simply put, Minga's debut is five songs long, five strong songs. And with today's worldwide drama, Minga proves that life is better on the "Flipside."
