The Other Woman is the first and only album released by American singer Miss Jones. It was released on June 16, 1998 through Motown Records.

Background

Jones had previously signed a deal with Tommy Boy Records and released the minor hits "Where I Wanna Be Boy" and "Don't Front", but left the label to take a job as a radio DJ for Hot 97. Eventually she returned to performing and signed with Motown and began to record her debut album. The project featured production from the likes of Mario Winans and Rashad Smith and guest appearances from Doug E. Fresh, Mobb Deep and Craig Mack.

Promotion

The album's lead single was "2 Way Street", which managed to make it to the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at 62. The Other Woman, however, did not perform well and only made it to 51 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. Jones was soon released from Motown and eventually left her music career behind in 2001.

AllMusic	^[1]

AllMusic editor Stephen Thomas Erlewine found that The Other Woman "may run a little too long, but it demonstrates that Miss Jones is an ambitious performer, blending hip-hop and urban R&B in intriguing ways. She doesn't quite break from formula, choosing to build on Mary J. Blige's groundbreaking sound instead of creating her own, but the end results are often sexy, melodic and danceable – which is enough to make it a fine debut."^[1]
