Best of Both Worlds is the debut album by Davina, released on April 7, 1998 through Loud Records.

The album, which was both written and produced entirely by Davina herself, peaked at 180 on the Billboard 200 and 34 on the R&B charts, failing to gain any real commercial success. The album's two main singles managed to make it to the Billboard Hot 100. "So Good" and "Come Over to My Place" peaked at 60 and 81 on the chart respectively. Davina was dropped from Loud Records due to the album's poor sales.
