SUNSHINE'S DAY Now managed by Beyoncé's dad, maybe it's no wonder Anderson's lyrics are occasionally Childish on her mostly winning At Midnight CD

Credits

Release Date: Jan 23, 2007; Lead Performance: Sunshine Anderson; Genre: R&B

Six years after her breakthrough hit, ''Heard It All Before,'' Macy Gray's ex-protégée has found a new mentor in Beyoncé's dad/manager, Mathew Knowles. Sunshine Anderson lacks his daughter's polish, but her raspy voice has a street-smart edge that evokes early Mary J. Blige. The first half of Sunshine at Midnight, her second album, is packed with rump-shakin' fits of fury, while slow jams dominate the latter. Anderson's talent is fully grown, but her infatuation with thugs — and their underwear — is a juvenile distraction. B
