For all of her femme-bomb aplomb, rapper Eve understands the benefits of leaving a little breathing room between beats.

NME
She uses her supporting cast of stars – Dre, Snoop– in the same way as Marilyn used male dancers in ‘Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend’, a pink satin superstar alongside her grey-suited drones. It’s this combination of square-cut-or-pear-shaped attitude and winning vulnerability that makes ‘Eve-Olution’ shine.

This begins bangin' with her female compatriots combining well with the first couple of songs. Snoop sounds great over the Hotrunner produced 'Hey Yall' beat and there are a couple of other okay tracks, but it falls away in the second half without anything outstanding being featured.

[b]Best Tracks:[/b] What, Gangsta Lovin, Party in the Rain, Let This Go, Hey Yall.
