Truth Hurts: Truthfully Speaking
Amy Linden, The Source, August 2002
STEVIE WONDER once declared that love's in need of love today. It's a beautiful notion, but one that eludes much of the current R&B. Case in point, the solidly soulful, but slightly chilly debut from Dre protégée Truth Hurts. Miz Hurts is an aggressive vocalist, blessed with a full throttle alto, which she uses to hungrily tear into a collection of tough songs ("| love you" overloads are not on the agenda) on Truthfully Speaking. How hard? Think freshly applied acrylic nails.
