Mikaila is the self titled third and final album by American former actress and singer Mikaila. The album was released on March 6, 2001, and includes Mikaila's hit song "So in Love with Two".

Release

[edit]

The album was released by Island Records on March 6, 2001.[1] In advance of the album's release, Mikaila performed on Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and on Fox Family Channel's Front Row Center Concert Series.[5] The album itself was a moderate commercial success debuting at number twenty on the US Billboard Top Heatseekers chart on the date of March 24, 2001 and staying on the chart for three weeks. A few months after its release, she released a Spanish version of the album.

Singles

[edit]

The album's lead single "So in Love with Two" was released in November 2000, when Mikaila was thirteen years old.[5] Multiple versions of the song were released, including a Spanish-language version titled "Este Amor de Dos". The song peaked at No. 29 on the Rhythmic Top 40 Billboard chart, No. 25 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 27 on Billboard's Top 40 Mainstream.

Critical reception

[edit]

The album received mixed reviews from music critics. AllMusic's Jon Azpiri awarded the album three out of five stars and commended Mikaila for bringing "a much-needed dose of hip-hop to the teen pop genre" but criticizing the ballads as "obligatory".[1]
