My Lunch is Like Whoa

The first date is always tough. Before you can even think of an appetizer, you’ve gotta meet the parents. Yesterday in our meet and greet with Grammy-Award winning r&b sensation Mya (and her dad/manager Sherman), Complex couldn’t help but feel a little like Gaylord Focker. But think we cracked under pressure? Chill. The only thing that was grilled was the filet mignon we ordered at New York’s chic Gotham Bar. Since 2003’s Moodring, Mya’s kept busy away from the spotlight by moving back to her native Washington D.C. with her two dogs, teaching in a local performing arts program for inner-city kids, and living single (not with 50 Cent or The Game, you gossip hounds). She’ll have a few stories to tell on Liberation, her most personal album to date, due this fall on Motown/Universal. We expect the best of her again—with dad’s consent of course.
