Ginuwine - A Man's Thoughts (sixth album)

Intro
Show Off
Trouble (feat. Bun B)
Last Chance
Interlude
One Time For Love
Open the Door
Get Involved (feat. Missy Elliot & Timbaland)
Orchestra
Touch Me
Lying to Each Other
Even When I'm Mad
Bridge to Love (feat. Brandy)
Used to Be The One
Show Me the Way


This album starts off with the Intro. Ginuwine mostly talks about being a man, having relationship problems and pretty much everything that man is either suffering from or has been through, at the end of it I find myself just not caring and wanting to listen to the songs already.



I really liked this next track, Show Off. I really liked the chorus 'go on and show off!' what a nice comeback for Ginuwine since he hasn't been singing in years. The arrangement is your typical Timbaland produced beat and techno/r&b snyth fare. His vocal performance was pretty strong and laid-back and he seemed really into the song. This is one of my favorite songs off this album.



This album is keeps on going on a great note with the next song Trouble (feat. Bun B). 'If she don't stop pushing it back, I'm gonna have something for her to grind on, grind on!' - those are some sexy lyrics. Ginuwine is really into this song also so for that reason, I love this song. His vocals were top-notch like always, well not all the time but that's what I think for this album so far.



Then the album moves onto the first single track, Last Chance. I've always liked this song when it first came out this year. Ginuwine's vocals were pretty good in this track, also. I remember hearing this song on the radio but it didn't make much of an impact on me then but now I really like this song and not because it's Ginuwine singing but because it's a nice song, period.



Here we go with the Interlude and honestly I just don't care for these at all (Crystal Kay's conditioner interlude is a exception.) but this here is nothing special to me.



The next track One Time For Love was pretty good. I've heard this song too much today and it's on repeat right now so I can review this track. Ginuwine's vocals seem to strain a bit in the verses but when the chorus comes you completely forget about it but it doesn't go away either. The arrangement is really nice with the beautiful piano and strings and the 90's r&b beat. This song is just love, period.



Oh my... This album slows down painfully with Open the Door. I remember listening to this song when I first got this album a while ago back in the summer. Ginuwine's vocals were sexy and I wonder if that was him singing the deep backing vocals saying 'you can be my lover, you can be my friend, just open up girl, let me in!' Listening to this song now, I just don't like this song as much I used to.



I don't like how this album is transited with the way down-tempo track then much more upbeat track Get Involved (feat. Missy Elliot & Timbaland). This song used to be my favorite song from this album but now it annoys the heck out of me. Ginuwine's vocals were really annoying, I mean he can sing but in this song he's just a hot mess. Missy Elliot and Timbaland did an good job though jumping into the song but seriously this song was just FAIL.



This album finally gets to a semi good song. Orchestra was a really good track actually. Ginuwine's vocals were really nice and same thing goes for the arrangement which was awesome. The chorus was really nice 'she be calling my name, I be making a sound like an orchestra, like an orchestra' it sounds strange but it sounds nice the way he is singing it.



Touch Me took some time to grow on me but when the chorus started up, I liked it. Ginuwine's vocals were amazing but a tad annoying with the strange 'touching me' going on at the end of the chorus. The arrangement sounds very 90's r&b and it plays very sensual. This is one of my new favorites off this album.



The album picks up the pace with the next track Lying to Each Other. I really didn't like Ginuwine's vocals at first with this song and I still don't now. They seem to drag the enjoyment of this song down a tad bit. The arrangement is heavy on the r&b side, it sounds like a throwaway beat for Last Chance. I think this song is growing on me but right now I don't know if I like this song or not so to me it's half and half for my review and me.



Even When I'm Mad is another song I liked from this album. Ginuwine's vocals were awesome, a lot better than the previous track which I thought he strained the mess out of. The arrangement sounds very 90's r&b and I really love that because you don't know how tired I am with the crappy '09 music on the radio - let's take 'Birthday Sex' for example.



The next track is the decent track Bridge to Love (feat. Brandy). This song isn't bad at all but as soon I saw 'Brandy' being on this song, I didn't think this song would be any good, I mean she's a nice singer but her voice was low for some reason in this song and it seems that Ginuwine's vocals are overshadowing Brandy's vocals for some reason also. The arrangement is very down-tempo r&b but it plays so mind-numbing like. This song is all right but very underwhelming in my opinion.



Used to Be the One is another song I take a liking to, a lot. I loved Ginuwine's vocal performance in this song. The arrangement sounds like something you would hear on one of the songs off Jamie Foxx's new album. This song is just love and it sounds so 90's r&b with Ginuwine singing it.



The album slows down a bit and this next track is really nice. Show Me the Way was a great track and it's very underrated in my opinion. This song should have been a second a-side to Last Chance or something because it just deserves it in my opinion. The arrangement is your typical soothing r&b beat and beautiful rhodes playing in the background along with snyths. This is very underrated track and it's also one of my favorite songs off this album.

GRADE: B+
STARS: 4.0

Ginuwine's sixth album A Man's Thoughts was pretty good album but nothing better than anything he has done back in the day. I'm not putting down the album but it can be a very tedious listen after a while and you find yourself wanting to take a nap. I mean he has much more engaging albums and singles, these songs were either nice, cliche, bland, decent, or FAIL. This album was nice and it's great to see that Ginuwine is still keeping on with something new - music wise. This album is definitely for die-hard fans of Ginuwine or people who are really into r&b but casual listeners will probably be bored or uninterested with this album. I myself used to listen to Ginuwine way back in the day so I'm one of those die-hard fans but I felt even this album could use some good or decent criticism. I'd say if you wanna hear something more interesting from him, look for something he did back in the 90's.

피터 (Peter) - Show Man

SEXY LADY
Show Man
비밀로
난 말한다
믿음
아름다운 Melody
GOD BLESS
Tonight
Waitin’
비상


This album starts off with the smooth and infectious opening track SEXY LADY. I remember listening to this song on imeem and I liked it a lot from there and on. Peter's vocals were very smooth but strong and loud in a good way. I really like the jazz-y r&b arrangement, it compliments his vocal performance. This is a very good song to start the album off with.



I really wasn't sure if I liked this song when I first heard it but I think it's growing onto me. Show Man isn't really a bad track at all and I know people will love this song for the dance club arrangement but seriously as a title track, it's pretty underwhelming. I liked Peter's strong vocal performance and the chorus was nice. I don't think I like his rapping too much though because it sounds so typical and unoriginal in my opinion.



I really liked this next track a lot more than the previous track. 비밀로 is a pretty nice track and the vocal performance from Peter was really good. The arrangement is your typical r&b and hip-hop beat along with a piano, strings, and bells (I think that's what I heard.) I really liked the smoothness from this song so I have to say that this is one of my favorite tracks off this album and I really mean it, too.



난 말한다 was a pretty good track but there's one problem with this one though. The arrangement is very generic, bland, but it's pretty nice though. The vocal performance from Peter was OK but it didn't really make an impact on me. I don't know but this song will take some time to grow on me.



The next track 믿음 is pretty nice compared to the previous track because that was a very tedious listen in my opinion. I love the chorus of this song and the vocal performance from Peter was very good but I really don't like his rapping. The arrangement is your typical upbeat r&b and hip-hop and it starting to sound the same after hearing it throughout this whole album so far.



아름다운 Melody wasn't a bad song either but like the title track, it sounds a little underwhelming but it also sounds cheesy to me. I really liked Peter's vocal performance and the arrangement is really nice with the sax playing but it all sounds a tad cheesy to me and I just don't like this song for that reason.



GOD BLESS is also a bit on the corny side and I was expecting this song to be on the religious side but I don't know what it is since I don't know or speak korean. I really love the title of this song but it seems a bit mislead like Wheesung's song 'Clubbin' but I think I like this song, anyways. The chorus was the highlight of this song in my opinion.



The next track is the upbeat and groovy r&b/hip-hop/pop track Tonight. The arrangement was nice, it plays like a true club banger. Peter's vocal performance was really nice and I like that high note he did at the near end of the song, this is another one of my favorite songs off this album.



OMG, this song is so nice and I like this one a lot more than the previous track. Waitin' made like this album a bit more even though it can be a bit of tedious listen. I only liked the vocal performance from Wheesung and the end of the song when he sings 'just waitin' for your call!' I liked that part of the song and the chorus was pretty good.



Another corny song and I really want to turn this album off. 비상 was one of the most whack songs I've ever heard from this album and I know this song will grow on me but right now I'm getting really bored with this song. The upbeat-ness of the song was a turn on for this song and the vocal performance from Peter was pretty strong but this song just doesn't appeal to me in any way at all.

GRADE: C-
STARS: 3.5

Peter's Show Man album was just not my taste and I though it was gonna sound much different from what I heard but 'eh' this album just isn't my style. There were some songs I liked but I really didn't like this album. This album had some r&b but that didn't save this album from being kind of tedious and uninteresting after a while. I really want to hear more from him though, I'm curious of what his next album will sound like.

TRICK - Koda Kumi (7th Album)

Introduction For Trick
TABOO
Show Girl
Your Love
Stay With Me
This Is Not a Love Song
Driving
Bling Bling Bling (feat. AK-69)
That Ain't Cool (feat. Fergie)
Hurry Up!
Moon Crying
JUST THE WAY YOU ARE
Joyful
Ai No Kotoba
Venus (English Version)


This album starts off with the cool and groovy Introduction For Trick. I like the snyth techno r&b beat going on in the arrangement and Koda Kumi is doing a really good job with her vocals. I really wish she made a full length track, it would have been a hit.


TABOO took some time to grow on me but I like it now, a lot. I like how Kumi gets really sexy with this song - vocal wise. Her vocals can get a bit annoying after a while but she seems to be doing it all the right way on this song. I know all the japanese people probably cringed when she made this song because they want a lot of singers be all innocent sounding and no sex included but americans like myself would like this song, regardless of not understanding japanese. I never seen the video before to this song and I think I would like it since the song itself has a lot of sex appeal.


I really liked this next track, Show Girl. This is a fun party song, I could picture a bunch of people dancing in a club in Tokyo at night to this song. I keep getting this britney spears 'blackout/circus' feeling from this song and I thought at first I wouldn't like it for that main fact but I liked it right away. This is one of my favorite songs off this album and I'd listen to this, over and over again.


The album decides to slow it down a bit with Your Love. Finally a ballad and it's pretty generic but nice. Kumi-chan's vocal performance was so lovely in this song that I wanted to cry but didn't. The arrangement sounds sampled in my opinion but it plays so nice that you completely get past the fact that it's bland, generic, and cliche. This song is just love with sweet kisses and hugs.


Stay With Me is just simply a lovely ballad and I don't see why people don't give this track any love. I mean Kumi's vocal performance was clean and straight (which means her english was clear) so I really don't why people hate this song so much for. She really reminds me of Namie for some reason on this song, even when she sings the title 'stay with me!' it was so on point and was the reason why I even liked this song.


'Ah!' This song is horrible and baseless. This Is Not a Love Song was really getting on my nerves when I first heard it before doing this review and listening to it now, I think I'm gonna barf. Kumi's vocals were blatantly awful and pointless, why the hell did she decide to do this song?


I actually liked this next track, Driving. I like the upbeat and party feel with this song, it makes me wanna get up and dance! I like the arrangement but it seems to be overpowering Kumi's awesome vocal performance but I can bare with it. It totally made up for that terrible previous track.


Oh my god, I think I'm gonna be sick! This next track was garbage and album fodder. Bling Bling Bling (feat. AK-69) wasn't a good song at all and almost made me wanna stop listening to this album but I'm really trying my best to bare with this album. 'Kumi, you're really ruining this song and don't ever rap again unless you learn how to improve your english!' and AK-69 didn't make this song any better, this song is all kinds of fail.


I don't know but I think I'm starting to like this song again. That Ain't Cool (feat. Fergie) is sort of an on and off-ish song for me, like at first I loved it then I hated it then now I sort of like it again, I just can't make up my mind with this song. Kumi's vocals were strong but her english was awful and she really needs to learn how to improve her english so it can sound a lot more better. Fergie was the only reason I even bothered to like this song, I don't know but this song makes me feel confused because I really want to like it but honestly Kumi's english just needs to be worked on desperately.


Ouch! This next track was painful to my ears. Hurry Up! has to be the worst song I've ever heard from Kumi since Bling Bling Bling and they both seem to compete at what's the worst song for this album but I think this one just takes the cake, period.


This next track surely made up for the awfulness of the previous track. Moon Crying was a pretty nice listen but I'm kind of not liking it because of Kumi's strained vocals. The arrangement was pretty nice and I heard a beautiful piano playing gently in the background but this song is just a very bland listen after listening to it for a while.


We finally get to an actual better track, JUST THE WAY YOU ARE. I love this song a lot, it's meaning is adorable and same thing goes for that chorus. Kumi's vocals were pretty laid and near perfect, I got to give her props because I thought this song was gonna fail but it's the complete opposite of fail. This is a really good song.


I'm kind of on the fence and half & half with this next track. Joyful was rather cutesy and the chorus was so much love but this song is a bit stale and 'blah' to me. The vocals were almost a nose dive after listening to the previous track. I don't know how I really feel about this song but I guess this song is passable, it's an OK listen.


This next track was smooth but it annoyed me for some reason. Ai No Kotoba was a nice listen but this was even more stale than the previous track so I don't think this was good at all. Kumi's vocals were straining all over the place and I don't know what went wrong, maybe a sore throat?


Venus (English Version) finishes off this album and let me tell you how bad this song really is, I mean I've heard Namie sing better in English than that during her 'Sweet 19 Blues' era. Kumi's vocals were pretty awful and I was at like a standstill while listening to this song. I mean if she doesn't get any better than this, I'm gonna start listening to some of her old stuff more because this song here is just plain tacky and abysmal, it ends the album on a forgettable note.

GRADE: D+
STARS: 2.5

Koda Kumi's seventh album TRICK was very abysmal, unorganized, and tacky. Ouch! This is like the lowest rating I ever gave an album before but this album just deserves it, seriously. I mean Koda Kumi is a good singer, she just didn't take herself and her career seriously with this album. The arrangements seemed to be made in a rush and it was like nobody had that much time to make them. I did enjoy each of the songs I've bolded but this album was just a failed seventh attempt. I don't think I could have possibly like this album outside of the songs I've bolded because the rest was just FAIL.

The One - Frankie J. (second album)

Obsession (No Es Amor) (featuring Baby Bash)

The One (featuring 3LW)
How to Deal
Without You
On the Floor (featuring Paul Wall)
Story of my Life
#1 Fan
Just Can't Say It's Love
In The Moment
Gone
Don't Wanna Try
Suga Suga (featuring Baby Bash)
Obsession (No Es Amor) (Spanish Version)



Frankie J's second album album starts off with the famously televised track Obsession (No Es Amor) (featuring Baby Bash). I really liked this song when I first heard it way back in early '08, the chorus is like the only thing I could remember after listening to the song every time. Frankie J really did this song a lot of justice, I mean his singing was so perfect in this song it was like listening to the latino version of Usher. Baby Bash's rapping part fitted well into this song but I honestly didn't care for it even though he did a good job with it. This will always be my favorite Frankie J song, no matter what else he comes out with although I love a lot more songs from him besides this one.


The next track is the decent but somewhat good title track The One (featuring 3LW). I kind of like this song, it didn't completely flew over my head but it came pretty close to... I didn't too much liked or cared for 3LW's part because to me, it was a bit annoyed knowing that I think Adrianne was singing that part and she really isn't much of a singer but she tried (oh well!) Frankie J really did his thing with this song and if he had just sung this by himself, I think I would have liked this track a bit more.


This next track is another song I love from Frankie J, How to Deal. Every time I hear that guitar in the very beginning, Namie Amuro's song (Think of Me) pops up in my head for the reason that the notes in this song sound a bit similar to that song. Frankie J did an outstanding job on this song, the lyrics were amazing and very heartfelt 'so how do I live, how do I deal without you?' This is a beautiful track, I'd definitely recommend you give this song a listen or two (or more!)


The next track is the hip-hop esque r&b track Without You. I really like this song and the beat. Frankie J is really singing his heart out in this song, he keeps pleasing my ears with his golden singing. The chorus is really nice and relate-able, 'gotta try to make it through, without you...' I love this song.


Hmm? I'm not really feeling this next track On the Floor (featuring Paul Wall). I like the arrangement but it's really repetitive and annoying. Frankie J seems to be straining his vocals too much in this song and the chorus was all right but a little weak. Paul Wall doesn't make this song any better, I'm sorry but this track is on the bland side.


This next track sounds like 'how to deal' in the beginning only slower. Story of my life is a really good track though. Frankie J's vocals were really on point here and you can feel everything he's singing to you. 'what do you when your water runs dry, when your greens and blues turning black and white?' weird lyrics but I think I know what he means and where's he going. I think I have me another favorite song for this album.


#1 Fan has to be and is one of my favorite tracks off this album. I love the chorus and Frankie J's vocal were pretty nice, too. The arrangement is your typical r&b beat and it sounds very cool. I bop my head or move around whenever I hear this song, it's a very nice listen.


The next track is the smooth and relaxing r&b track Just Can't Say It's Love. I really like this song and it's meaning. Frankie J's vocals were quite nice and smooth. I'm in love with the arrangement in this song, it's so nice. This is another one of my favorite songs off this album.


I kind of like this next track but not so much. For the Moment has a nice little pace but that arrangement is starting to get cliche and bland because everybody is using it now. Frankie J did a great job with this song but I just don't see this as something I would listen to a whole lot plus it ends so sudden which is why I don't like this song too much.


The album painfully slows down but this song isn't bad at all. Gone is another one of my favorite songs off this album but it can get very tiring and I feel myself about to fall asleep just listening to this song. This is a pretty good track and it stand outs.


Um, okay? I already reviewed this track Don't Wanna Try and I personally thought this song was amazing so I'll sum it up like this - awesome track.


I really liked this song and I heard it on Barbershop 2:Back in Business before. Suga Suga (Featuring Baby Bash) has an awesome flow and I love the chorus 'suga, suga - how did you get so fly?' Frankie J and Baby Bash did a wonderful job together on this song, this is another one of my favorite songs on this album.


The next track is just the spanish version of Obsession and I think it's just as good as the english version, so I'm summing it up like this - nice track.


And after that version, there's the reggaeton version of it but I didn't even care for it and I can't be bothered with it.

GRADE: A+

STARS: 5.0

Frankie J's second album The One was pretty nice second comeback after his debut album 'what's a man to do?' I thought the debut album was a bit better though but this album was just as good. I really can not wait for his new album coming soon called 'Time' I really wanna hear the songs that are going to be on there. As for this album, it was pretty nice for another round and Frankie J really brought everything to the plate this time around.

CRY FOR YOU/Can't Let Go (Fifth single) - JAY'ED

CRY FOR YOU
Can't Let Go

This single starts off with the a-side CRY FOR YOU. I really liked this song when I first heard it online on youtube a couple weeks ago, I think. Anyways, I've been hooked since and haven't turned back and let me tell you his singing is awesome. He has a lot of soul in his voice but I'm starting to get way off track. I love the light piano arrangement and the soft strings in the chorus were a nice touch to this song. I love when he sings the 'cry for you' part at the end of the chorus. This is an all-time favorite of mine from him and I'll be looking for more music to listen to from him if I can find anything.



The next track is the b-side Can't Let Go was really good and should have been the a-side although I did like 'cry for you' this one just sounds and plays a whole lot better. I love the upbeat-ness of the arrangement which is mostly r&b, pop, and a bit of techno snyth. JAY'ED's vocals seemed really into this song and it completely blew me away. This is another one of my all-time favorites of mine from JAY'ED.

GRADE: A+
STARS: 5.0

JAYED's fifth single CRY FOR YOU/Can't Let Go was a pretty nice, solid single. His vocals were very good and the arrangements for both songs were both awesome. I just think in my opinion, Can't Let Go should have been the a-side of the single. I'm really becoming a fan of JAY'ED and I hope he comes out with another album soon.

JAY'ED - The Gift (Just let me know)

Movin' On
Just let me know (feat. jazzy blaze)
Pop Them Bottles -english solo version-
Sayonara
Fly Away (I-DeA remix) feat. JAMOSA
Why
Shining Star
Lovers Medley (Nite and Day) ~Happy~Rock Wit'cha
If I...
oh na na (interlude)
Jam Session
We Got It All
Sadie (live@jirokichi '03 ortio session)


The opening track is the self-empowering Movin' On. I really like this entire song, from the flow/beat to JAY'ED's wonderful and perfect vocal performance. The arrangement sounds like american r&b, it's pretty up-beat and smooth. I love the chorus, it's my favorite part of the song along with the 'hey, hey, hey, hey' parts. This is an awesome track to start off an album with, seriously!


The next track is the super funky and club friendly Just let me know (feat. jazzy blaze). I wasn't really sure if I liked this song on my first listen yesterday but I liked the flow to it. JAY'ED's vocals were pretty strong and the rapper in this was so point, it was so amazing. The arrangement is your typical r&b and hip-hop beat and I think I heard a spanish guitar at the very beginning which stands out like a sore thumb. This is one of my favorites on this album and what also helps is that it sounds like a little like R.Kelly's song 'Fiesta' in a way.


Here's another club friendly and upbeat track, Pop Them Bottles -english solo version-. I didn't except to even like this song but it grew on me when he started singing the verses. I like the chorus 'pop them bottles, girl!' The arrangement wasn't anything I've haven't heard before and it sounds exactly like american r&b and hip-hop. JAY'ED did an awesome job with this song and it happens to be another one of my favorites off this album.


This album finally slows things down a lot but not too much and now we have the somewhat mid-tempo r&b track Sayonara. I automatically liked this song on the first listen because it plays so smoothly in r&b and JAY'ED's vocals were gorgeous. This is another song I love dearly from off this album, it's an awesome track.


Things kind of speed it up but not too much with the reggae, r&b, soul influenced Fly Away (I-DeA remix) feat. JAMOSA. I really like this song but even more than the previous track and it plays just as smooth. I love JAY'ED's laid-back and content vocal performance and JAMOSA did her thing with this song, too. I would really listen to this song over and over again.


Everything slows back down again with the beautiful but yet sad and emotional track Why. Oh my god, JAY'ED is really becoming of my favorite singers with this song. He sounds like he's just singing from the bottom of his heart and that's why I even bothered to like this song. He's like another Shota Shimizu or something because he never really half-asses or fails in his vocal performances and this song is making me like JAY'ED even more.


Oh my... This next track is ridicious, corny, loud, and poorly arranged. Shining Star was a pretty decent track but when JAY'ED did that nasally singing before the chorus, I really felt like turning off the song but I didn't even move. As for his vocals, they were good but I just can't pretend to like this song because to tell the truth - I loathe it. The chorus was nice but this song is nothing to be bothered with unless you wanna wish you were deaf, the arrangement was terrible, annoying, and I really could not wait until it was all over.


Yes! We finally get a better track but there were three tracks into one track. Lovers Meledy (Nite and Day) ~Happy~Rock With'cha is a track where sings covers of famous r&b tracks. I wish he seprated them so I could be more satisfied with this one but I really can't and shouldn't complain because this was nice, regardless.


I really didn't like this next track at all. If I was an OK track with a nice arrangement that gets really boring after hearing the same sounds about a million times. The female rapper was just awful. This song is a bore fest and I rather listen to the previous track again because this song was just bad for no reason besides the tacky, poorly put together arrangement but JAY'ED's vocals were nice in this song but still this song just did nothing for me, at all.


Interludes! Oh, how much I don't care for y'all. oh na na (interlude) contains a nice vocal performance from JAY'ED and he's singing about some girl but this is an interlude and i'm sorry but I really don't care for them at all so this is just whatever.


We're back to a full length track and it's the funky, groovy track Jam Session. I like that arrangement, it sounds like something you would hear on the radio late at night or in the club at night. It consists of r&b, hip-hop, a bit of tech, pop which all plays in such a nicely way. In my opinion, this is a much better version of 'If I' and this one is definitely another one of my favorite songs off this album.


The next track was kind of stale but I found that I somewhat liked it. We Got It All confuses me because I like it because of JAY'ED's nice vocal performance but the rappers are what were ruining this great, laid-back song for me. Regardless of them, I still find myself enjoying this track and this is also another one of my favorite songs from this album.


The next and final track on this album is Sadie (live@jirokichi '03 orito session). I don't know I really like this song but the low quality to this song is bothering the hell out of me and it's making me like this song a lot less than I did when I first heard it on the first listen but I still like this song so it's not bad. JAY'ED's vocals were pretty nice in this song and back-up singers were good as well.

GRADE: B-
STARS: 4.0

JAY'ED's The Gift (Just let me know) album was a pretty OK album. I did enjoy this album but it came as underwhelming compared to what I expected when I first heard about this album and saw it online. The songs that were nice and stand-out were Movin' On, Just let me know (feat. jazzy blaze), Pop Them Bottles -english solo version-, Sayonara, Fly Away (I-DeA remix) feat. JAMOSA, and Why. The other two songs I put in bold text were nice also but they just didn't stand out as much the others. This album was heavy influenced in r&b and hip-hop, mainly american styled but I still liked this album because JAY'ED's vocals were nice and on point. He really has a knack for r&b and hip-hop, he's really impressed me but the album seriously could have been better.
