I'm having an up-down feeling about this CD. Jamie Foxx has a beautiful voice, and I love to hear him REALLY sing from his gut up. I think he's great at ballads, and he's one of a handful of today's R&B artists who can sing a capella and completely blow me away. When I heard the beginning of this CD, I thought he was dumbing down his voice entirely too much. The problem with party tracks is you don't really have to sing to pull them off. As long as you can carry a tune, a party track will work because people are more concerned with dancing and catchy choruses. Jamie Foxx is above all that. There's a reason he was so good at his role as Ray Charles. There's a reason why I'd fast forward through "The Jamie Foxx Show" to get to the parts where he'd sing some random tune.
There are a bunch of songs on here that are okay, but they seem to fit somebody who's into the whole singer-rapper career. I shrugged through "Living Better Now," "Winner" and "Freak." "Yep, Dat's Me" was cool until I got to Ludacris' part. I thought it was fine with just Soulja Boy and Jamie Foxx, but I like that song more because Jamie kept going on music TV stations and talk shows making the crowd chant that. I'm bored with the liquor songs like "Best Night of My Life."
"Hit It Like This" was his regular nymphomaniac style, and it took me a minute, but I smiled through this one. "Fall for Your Type" seemed like a Drake song instead of a Jamie Foxx song because that dude stays complaining about being heartbroken, but I immediately liked that song.
I loved "Let Me Get You on Your Toes" from the time I heard him sing it on "Lopez Tonight." "15 Minutes" makes me want to watch an episode of "Martin." Funny song, but he was trying to be sexy. "Sleeping Pill" was excellent, but what is up with this dude and liquor? How many Patron plugs can there be on one CD? The rest of the songs were cool. It's not that I don't like the CD. I just like smooth R&B more than pop/dance tracks like "All Said and Done" and "Sex on the Beach." It sounds like he's using a vocoder. Why? He can already sing.

I don't even know where to begin with this album. Having been a fan of his 3 previous albums; there's no excuse for this one. The album feels really rushed and very underwhelming. I understand the theme is supposed to be "night life" type of songs but the problem is that the songs are weak and wack. Can we at least get a Blame It or an Unpredictable if you choose to go that route??? He's better off on ballads/midtempos/acoustic anyway so why he would go that route in the first place is beyond me.
The production is uninspired, the songwriting is bland and uninspired, and the singing doesn't even sound like Jamie Foxx. It's horrible. I guess he just (I)phoned it in. The guest artists do their absolute best trying to save this rubbish but there is no hope. T.I., Justin Timberlake, Rick Ross, Wiz Khalifa, Ludacris and Soulja Boy attempt to salvage this effort but to no avail. Quite frankly this feels like an "obligation" record to get out of his recording deal because he just threw this one together without any real push or promotion and without any care or artistry.
*Attempting to explain this travesty, a few weeks ago Tank was on Atlanta radio promoting his own album Now or Never, and come to find out that he played no role in this Jamie Foxx album. That might explain the lack of good songwriting, arrangements and overall direction. *
On one song he sounds like Sean Garrett (who for the record is NOT the person you want to sound like). Fall For Your Type with Drake is a good song but it sounds like a Thank Me Later leftover.
I downloaded this album and was sorely disappointed and unfortunately someone got it for me for Christmas but I have not opened it. I want to find out where it was purchased so I can take it back to the store for a refund or store credit. That's really how I feel. This album will get no burn whatsoever, ESPECIALLY, with better efforts from the likes of R. Kelly, Charlie Wilson, Ron Isley, El DeBarge, Eric Benet, Tank, Ne-Yo, Trey Songz, Aloe Blacc, etc. And that's not even to mention his female counterparts.
What happened to the Jamie Foxx that did songs like Do What It do, Heaven, She Got It, or even Blame It???? That Jamie is (almost) nonexistant on this album. We'll consider this one a blip on the radar because it's not worth getting all excited over and hopefully Jamie Foxx produces a better effort next time around. 1 star.

I'm not sure why Jamie doesn't sing from the heart. After listen to the cuts the CD is just trash! He needs to get back to doing him and stop being suckered in to commercial music. His very first CD was better then any thing he has or will ever put out unless he takes a step back and write good lyrics. Finally if your true artist and know your craft why do you have to have advisory labeled on your material. I won't be buying this CD or any other until he steps up his game with real music. Jamie stop dealing with a record company that won't let you true real talent show. Finally stop using those computer mics.

Huge Disappointment
Jamie Foxx has a fantastic voice. I love his previous cds. This one is was a waste of money. Its sounds like he played games in the studio.

This is no "ballad collection", but Jamie Foxx's sensual side definately shines thru at the end of this album. Read more

The Worst Album from Jamie Foxx
I'm glad I didn't buy this. I borrowed it from the library. What the Heck I J-Foxx thinking??? He is a 43 year old man and still making songs for the club. Read more

It grows on you!
I felt the same way as several of you have expressed when I first heard this CD. It seemed like he was catering more to the hip-hop crowd as opposed to the R&B crowd. Read more
