Mona Lisa

Kimberly Leadbetter, known professionally as Mona Lisa, is an American pop and R&B singer-songwriter, actress, model, and record producer. She is best known for her debut single "Can't Be Wasting My Time" featuring the hip hop group Lost Boyz, which was featured on the Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood soundtrack which went gold, as well as her debut album 11-20-79. 11-20-79 was released when she was 16. Tallahassee Democrat's Maisha Maurant says of it "Mona Lisa has their style down but lacks the punch, in part because of lackluster material and production." Sophie Lazin of The Morning Call says Mona Lisa is "given material that's just plain corny. And that's an old story." Jerry McCormick in the State gave it 2 1/2 stars and writes "Yonkers, N.Y.-native Mona Lisa hopes to show the R&B and hip-hop world that there is room for another sultry teen singer in addition to Brandy and Monica." Al Lagattolla in the Northwest Herald also gave it 2 1/2 stars. He says "Mona Lisa is a little more than a pretty face who can sing. She sings well. The stuff just is not overpowering.
