I'm surprised to see he's coming back, I thought we'd never hear from him again.

He actually did some pretty good songs though so I'm hopeful - hell, maybe he'll bring back real r&b.

He's never really gone anywhere. His last album was released in 09 and his last single was released this past May. He doesn't get as much airplay as he used to, though.

His voice is a gem and I'll always buy check out whatever he's selling.... hopefully its high quality like the last album.

Thanks for posting this. I am a fan of Joe and have a few of his albums, my faves being "All That I Am","My Name Is Joe" and "Better Days"

The last album in '09 "Signature" was a return to form for Joe, and perhaps didn't get the recognition it deserved.

I will definitely check out this new album.

i thought his 2009 record was good stuff.

Is he inside a white honeycomb or what? Don't like the cover shot but I do like the font of the title. I probably would've been a lot more creative with the cover with a title like that but that's just me.

Hope its a winner for him though. He's been 2nd fiddle for a minute in the R&B world. Hopefully he has some heat waiting for his audience.

Is it any good?

All of his projects sounds basically the same 2 me.

I agree. All of his projects sound alike. He takes NO risks at all.

I don't know if that's him or Kedar making those types of calls.

Oh, Joe...

Never been a big fan. I liked him in the beginning, love "All the Things (Your Man Won't Do)," and then a few assorted singles here and there, but I always think of him as a Poor Man's R. Kelly.

Starting with his debut single, these are the only Joe songs I'll ever need:

Joe - "I'm in Luv" [1993]

"All or Nothing" (Poor Georgie Porgie Mix) [1993]

"All the Things (Your Man Won't Do)" [1996]

"Don't Wanna Be a Player" [1997]

"Treat Her Like a Lady" [2000]

Joe's best R. impersonation

"Stutter" [2000]

He can sing R. Kelly into a coma just like Faith would MJB.

I'd agree.

But they'll always be in their shadows nonetheless.

Joe's the type of person who has a good voice but too many weak songs. The songs Alexde mentioned are the only ones I like from him as well, especially "All the Things Your Man Won't Do".

Love that one!

You may be forgetting "I Wanna Know," though. That one was pretty popular. I have a borderline irrational hatred of it I can't really explain.

Come on fellas - what about "Better Days" and "What If A Woman" ??

I dug this one from his last CD.

Catchy hook.

I think I do...great song but when a song is played at ad nauseam so to speak...love quickly turns to hate.

But I will always love "All the things your man wont do" definately.

No and hell to the no! Again, why listen to R. Kelly-lite when I can just listen to the real thing?

And "Better Days" was his best attempt at being Marvin Gaye 2000. He almost outright stole the vocal arrangements from "Sexual Healing"! The bastard.

It's okay but I got tired of hearing it after like the 10 millionth play on radio.

Meh. I guess. That sort of 'Grown N Sexy' shtick that he does is a bit stale at this point.

His range is pretty impressive, always liked that about him like in "all the things your man won't do". I heard him acoustic for a bit he plays a decent guitar.
