Most child stars can never have a successful second act in showbiz, since it's impossible to overcome the image that has become embedded in the popular consciousness. For Raven-Symone, it's even more difficult, because not only was she a member of The Cosby Show and Hangin' with Mr. Cooper, but she released a music album when she was a child, thereby giving herself two impressions to overcome. That's what she tries to do with her second album, Undeniable. Although she's in her late teens and is making danceable teen-pop, there is a clear indication on the record that she wants to be taken seriously and not treated as a child -- all perfectly understandable desires. While the record is flawed, Symone does prove she can sing, and a few of the cuts are catchy. It doesn't quite hit the levels of such peers as Monica, Brandy or Britney Spears, but Undeniable does have enough strong moments to go a long way toward establishing Symone as a credible vocalist. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

Undeniable is the second (and first independently released) studio album by American singer Raven-Symoné. Although her first album was full of kid-rap, she used this album to display her vocal ability while still holding true to her roots in rap. The album was released on May 4, 1999 and to date has sold over 21,000 copies.
The original album was given a very limited CD and cassette release. Because of the rarity of this album, the original edition often sells for $40 and up on eBay and other online stores. In November 2006, the album was re-issued under the TMG Records label under the title From Then Until.... The re-release included the music video for "With A Child's Heart" as well as some behind-the-scenes footage and live performances. However, From Then Until... has two major flaws: only half of the International House Mix of "With a Child's Heart" is on the disc, and there are three unlisted tracks at the end of the disc, none of which are performed by Raven-Symoné.
