Adina Howard is an R&B singer best known for the provocative 1994 hit “Freak Like Me” from her debut album Do You Wanna Ride?

She resurfaced with “(Freak) And U Know It” in 1997 that was supposed to herald her sophomore album for Elektra/EastWest, Welcome To Fantasy Island. The release was ultimately shelved.

After a seven year hiatus, she returned as an independent artist with The Second Coming, featuring new songs along with previously released tracks like “Crank Me Up” featuring Missy Elliott (from Welcome to Fantasy Island) and the Jamie Foxx duet “T-Shirt and Panties.”
