Album Description
Blend the old-school R&B sound with a quirky hybrid of hip-hop and pop and you get Little Jackie, the creation of genre-defying singer-songwriter Imani Coppola and multi-instrumentalist Adam Pallin. With a nod to the soulful Motown rhythms of the past and a sneer to many of the social and cultural issues that consume the public today, Coppola has crafted an album of musical sugar and spice, filled with sweet, saccharine-tinged melodies and spicy, bold commentaries.

Blend the old-school R&B sound with a quirky hybrid of hip-hop and pop and you get Little Jackie, the creation of genre-defying singer-songwriter Imani Coppola and programmer Adam Pallin. With a nod to the soulful Motown rhythms of the past and a sneer to many of the social and cultural issues that consume the public today, Coppola has crafted an album of musical sugar and spice, filled with sweet, saccharine-tinged melodies and spicy, bold commentaries. Coppola met Pallin, a Boston native who grew up listening to hip-hop and the golden oldies' his parents cranked during car rides, through Mangini. Pallin, who's worked on projects for Tom Jones and "American Idol" finalist Elliot Yamin, programmed and co-wrote the Little Jackie tracks with Mangini (who also produced the tracks), while Coppola wrote the melodies and lyrics, and produced the vocals.

 Another less than stellar artist. September 29, 2008

Bland, Poppy, psuedo-r&b style music. Nothing really creative about it. Self-Centered, shallow lyrics offer no depth to this artist.
Almost all the progressions are exactly the same. Ugh, please people, spend your money elsewhere.
 Heart, mind, and... August 21, 2008

It's pretty trite to go on and on about how an R&B singer has "sass" or "attitude". I don't need to tell you that Imani has an attitude that'd make you think thrice before crossing her. In contrast to that, though, judging by the feel-good vibe that emanates from most of her music -- nevermind how caustic the lyrics -- you can tell her main thing is having a good time and tossing aside useless inhibitions with a hearty "Screw it!"
It's not often that I give a largely electronic album this high of praise, but it's certainly deserving of it. I enjoy having these tunes play on repeat in my head -- and Imani's words and delivery make me actually think. The heart, mind, and BOOTY are all appealed to here. That's right. I just said booty.
One question, though -- why is there a huge parental advisory sticker when all the songs are very much edited?
Every song on this album is a 10/10 July 26, 2008

I had never heard of this artist before but I am glad that I surfed the web to the right place. This is a great album. Honestly one of the best in 2008 and good music like this does not come around often. Every song on this album is a 10/10
A bit of confusion... July 21, 2008

There is no denying that this album is absolutely fantastic, but the previous reviews are a bit misleading. Little Jackie IS Imani Coppola. It's the group name of her and partner Adam Pallin. The group name is taken from the Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam song "Little Jackie Wants To Be A Star". I know that the vocals are credited to "Little Jackie" in the CD notes , but make no mistake, the vocalist and talent behind this is none other than Imani. It's a great extension of her solo work.
The Music Revolves Around Jackie! July 19, 2008

I am not one to buy music based on something I saw on TV or a movie (that would more likely be my mom lol) but when I heard Litte Jackie perform a couple weeks back on Conan O'Brian I had this urge to check out the CD. Luckily I was able to find it,and the next day there was an almost two hour car trip on a great sunny day to slap this into the CD player and bliss out.AND WHAT A TRIP IT WAS! Almost in an INSTANT my mom and I were sining along to the music!For one this album just about REEKS of New York;this powerful,soulful singer/rapper wails away about how "nothin's got nothin on NYC"-Jackie is obviously from the same area of Brooklyn as my mom and gives a no-nonsense treatment of Imani Coppola's writing,lyrics and production. This plus the highly funkafied mix of vintage Motown,70's soul and modern hip-hop/R&B gives plenty of room for the multi instrumentalist Adam Pallin and a red hot horn section to work some groovalicious musical magic! There is no question that given the chance Little Jackie will come totally into her own as an independant artist less reliant on Imani Copolla and Adam Pallin but considering how talented both those people are Jackie has amazing taste in collaborators and if you see her videos or performances she can work the stage with her band with the same power as Tina Turner or Rufus & Chaka Khan,all the while doing the very thing that made them special;showcasing a great individual identity and a whole lot of spunk. From "The World Should Revolve Around Me" to "I Liked You Better Before" and the title track every song is great! I cannot agree more with the previous reviewer who stated that this is a very strong candidate for one of THE albums of the year and,considering I'm a person primarily devoted to the golden age of R&B and funk in the 70's and 80's this holds a proud place in my collection. And that's part of why I like this;it has strong roots in styles of the past but isn't drowning in it;the mixture of hip-hip style programming,live instrumentation and (most important) INCREDIBLY STRONG writing give this the distinction of being a great focal point for a very badly needed new form of pop/R&B as the wave of the future!
