If Crystal Waters were a full-time rapper instead of a singer, she might sound something like L.A.

Star, who also has a rather nasal, dry voice.

Given the East Coast/West Coast rap rivalry that was taking place in some hip-hop circles, it was surprising that a New York rapper like Star would dare to have L.A.

in her name (even if it did stand for Lisa Ali instead of Los Angeles).

Star claimed N.W.A.

as a main influence, but in fact, Poetess is far from gangsta rap.

While "Wondrous Dream," "Fade to Black," "Once Upon a Time" and other songs on the CD paint a troubling picture of urban life, Star has a lot more in common with MC Lyte than the gangsta rappers of the West Coast.

Although decent, Poetess wasn't a big seller.

And as much potential as Star showed on this album, she never recorded a follow-up.
