Mikaila - Mikaila (2001)

Mikaila was just another of the many female teen pop tarts, like previous postees Myra and Amanda, that followed in the wake of the pop bulldozer that was Britney Spears. But none had enough vocal personality, presence or sex appeal to eclipse Brit, except Christina Aguilera, and that was no doubt due to her powerful pipes. Mikaila has a nice enough voice and was backed with production by pop giants like StarGate and BAG & Arnthor, both of whom had great success in Britain producing pop songs for groups like S Club 7, Five, and Mis-teeq, and in the US on more hip-hoppish songs by the likes of J. Lo. Rihanna, Mya and Nelly. Her music is definitely pop with a hip hop edge, perhaps a bit more R&B than her peers, but not by much. She had one semi-hit with her first single, "So In Love With Two", which reached number 25 on the Billboard 100 (and has some awesome freestyle mixes). But no hits followed, and like most of her peers, she disappeared as quickly as she had appeared, and with little fanfare. She has recorded nothing of note since, though die-hard fans should track down the gospel album she recorded five years earlier, titled This Little Light and released using her full name Mikaila Enriquez. There are also a couple fan sites out there should you really need more Mikaila. ;)

  1. I was JUST thinking about Mikaila and wanted to do a post about her on my blog! I remember her video used to come on Nickelodeon a lot, and there was big push at the time to get kids to watch videos on Nick so they could transition to MTV. That video was highly sexual for a 14-year-old though...do you see the come-on looks during the split-screens?

  3. I like Mikaila. She's got such an amazing voice. It's too bad she didn't release another album after this. I hope she comes out with another album again soon.

  12. I discovered Mikaila's Facebook page under the name "Mikaila Enriquez." From what I could see, she is engaged and it looks like she has a daughter.

  15. That YT upload of the Video is gone now. All that is on YT now is a very low quality version, and one that's actually remix of the songs yet doesn't clarify that in the title.
