Adina Howard (born 1975 in Grand Rapids, Michigan) is a singer and rapper.
Her debut album Do You Wanna Ride?, with the hit single "Freak Like Me", was
released in 1995 and achieved high sales figures. The song "Freak Like Me",
as well as Howard's image, can be described as hyper-sexual. It can be said
that she opened the door for female rap artists to incorporate sexually
explicit material into their works in the future. A second album, "Welcome
to Fantasy Island" (originally titled "Portrait Of A Lady"), garnered a
couple critical raves, but was shelved by Elektra Records in 1997, due to
their decision that the album 'did not contain any other singles'.
In 2003, news of her third album hit with various album title changes
throughout the year from "Ride Again: 7/2" to "Two Can Play That Game".
During this year, she also filmed an independent film called Casanova's
Demise co-starring Greg Horos.

By 2004, Howard officially released her third album (now called "The Second
Coming") under Rufftown Records. With the distribution label and the record
label in conflict, the album suffered without any publicity and a video "Nasty
Grind" played on BET during early morning hours. Even with the lack of
publicity, it gathered over 40,000 units on store shelves.
2005, was to be the release of "The Second Coming: Remixed" but that project
was shelved to make way for a new full-length album, "Private Show". On "Private
Show" Howard recorded in North Carolina, New York, and Los Angeles. Along
with a new album, Howard worked with Walid Azami to bring documentaries for
her fansite. This is an attempt to explain her side of the story and show
the fans how the album was made.
The first single "Phone Sex" was released in September, while the album has
yet to have a release date. |
