No promotion at all! Despite all his faults he has a nice voice. But ummm, I wouldn't buy it. I have his first 2 albums ans they were o.k. Yeah I'll pass...and just download the song about Halle, cause you know there gonna be one on there. Making the Band 3's Laurie Ann Gibson = ONE CRAZY BROAD
*edit* This broad won my respect after she stood up to Diddy. | |

I have heard the first song "Hurricane" which sounds like vintage Babyface/clapton duet from the 90's. part soul, part soft rock. I like it it a lot, if anyone wants to hear it org note me. | |

I did the 30 second preview of each song on iTunes. Let me say this.. I LOVED all of his previous work to date (well, maybe not Benet, ..) but his two albums and singles.. great.

He had some nice songs on the first album (Feminity, I'll Be There, All In the Game) but bored me everything thereafter. I'm a little curious about Hurricane but the snippets don't pull me in and after his personal drama I can't help but sorta look at him a little cockeyed now.

 I think quite a few people might have a problem with his "personal drama." I have had a bit myself, but I'm trying to get past that. After all, it ain't MY drama.  Anyway, I got the album on Tuesday and I really like it, but I sort of lean toward that type of music anyway so I guess you could say I'm biased. Unfortunately, in addition to the lack of a lot of promotion, it's probably not the kind of music that would appeal to a large segment of today's listening audience. | |

I enjoyed True to Myself but I didn't like the second. Maybe it seemed like they were trying to push him to a broader audience, not sure. It's been getting good reviews but I wondered if that was to make up for the complete lack of promotion on this project. I'm also afraid it's going to be a tad melancholy for my tastes at the moment. Maybe a good winter album. "I do not understand how anyone not named Grace Jones was ever allowed to think of themselves as "fierce." - Sasha Frere-Jones | |
