While it lacks a standout single along the lines of "Freak Like Me,"
Adina Howard's second album,
Welcome to Fantasy Island, is a more consistent record than its predecessor,
Do You Wanna Ride, boasting a better selection of songs and grooves.
Howard still isn't much of a vocalist -- her idea of being seductive is panting heavily, and she doesn't have much power for the soulful numbers -- but she does have considerable sexual charisma, which is enough to make funky workouts like "(Freak) And U Know It" infectious. ~ Leo Stanley
