Jamie Foxx – The Real Voice?

Why freddy2 always be hatin’? Serioulsly, dogg. I s there anything you DO like

Who cares? He wasn’t a good singer then, and he’s even more terrible now. He should stick to the script—the movie script(s), that it.

jamie foxx got mad skill, you guys hear his cd…it’s amazing.

With an Oscar under his belt for his astounding performance as in the film biopic ‘Ray’, has achieved what most actors can only dream of in an entire career…. Jamie has established himself as one of Hollywood’s brightest stars!! has now returned to one of his first loves – music.

flexes his vocal chords on his new album ‘Unpredictable’, teaming up with R&B singer Tank to co-produce three of the LP’s tracks and write six of the songs. The award-winning actor/singer gets straight to work with the lead single; the title track, which features ATL’s

Already proving to be a popular club slow jam, this song is bound to get your feet tapping, and verse puts the track on a welcome R&B/hip hop tip. Prior to this album release, fans have been treated to vocal talents on tracks like ‘Slow Jamz’ and ‘Goldigger’ – both creations – and with this working relationship already proven to be a winner, the pair team up again for ‘Extravaganza’, one of the album’s hottest tracks. Most of the other collaborative efforts are successes, like the emotional ‘Love Changes’ featuring , and the gorgeous ‘U Still Got It’ with . The track With You’ featuring and The is another great track, with the two rappers adding a bit of their West Coast flavour to the mix. provides the bass for ‘Can I Take U Home’, a mediocre slow jam, with rather simplistic lyrics (also written by ): ‘Can I take you home girl/ Get you all alone girl/ Do you like I want to/ Kiss you like I want to.’

‘Warm Bed’ and ‘DJ Play A Love Song’, sees Foxx in full-blown playa mode, seducing the ladies with his sexy voice. ‘Warm Bed’ sounds like a Next track, with vocals resembling those of lead singer R.L. This is by no means a bad thing, and if you close your eyes and just listen, you almost forget that it’s you’re listening to – you may even find yourself craving some of that early ’90’s music, when R&B kings like and were ruling the airwaves. However, on the mid-tempo ‘DJ Play A Love Song’, appearance is a little out of place, as his quick-fire delivery is mismatched with the laid back feel of the track.

in the Ray J video for ‘One Wish’ – down on his knees, singing his heart out in the rain! Whilst the song is full of sentiment, these kind of ballads are not what does best, and leaves you thinking that he should have left that track off the album. – While vocals might not match up to the likes of or the soulful , he puts on a good show, and is at his best on ‘Heaven’ and ‘Wish U Were Here’ – both tracks which were written in dedication to the ‘love of his life’ and mother respectively.

‘Unpredictable’ is exactly what sophomore album is, and although some of the more hip hop-influenced tracks were unexpected, they make the album more enjoyable to listen to, mixing up the tempo to give a more rounded sound,….. second musical outing is not a classic, but it will certainly do well in pleasing his new and existing fanbase. And with the dual disc edition of the album with extra DVD features, this is one album R&B fans should definitely add to their collection.

WOW
I’m surprised at the number of Jamie Foxx haterz.
Jamie Foxx is a good all rounder,anyone who hates jamie foxx simply dont know jamie foxx.
Yes, he is a lil arrogant now i agree to a point, but you cant fault the guy with the arts of Singing,Acting & as a Comedian.
The fact that asa blackman grinding the way he has been for god knows how long with an Oscar under his belt – he deserves all the credit in the world and the fact that his movie fee probably shot up 200+% after winning the oscar he should be a lil bit arrogant.
Unpredicatable is his 2nd album – he had an album out sometime ago – cant remeber the name of it now but hunt it down and check it out – the dude is talented indeed.

Dont Hate
