Joe does an excellent job on Better Days with his soulful voice and smooth ballads. Hands down, Joe is an exceptional talent that should be recognized. He's by far one of the best male singers out there right next to Luther Vandross. Joe's intoxicating love ballads leave you feeling loved, respected, and most all cherished as a woman. As a man his songs shows you how to love, respect, and appreciate your woman. This is truly a man who indeed knows how to appreciate a woman.

Joe demonstrates his tenderness on such songs as "What If A Woman" "Ghetto Child" "She Used 2 Luv Me" and the most beautiful song ever "Lover's Prayer". If you're looking for Better Days ahead, buy this album. I promise, you won't regret it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Joe is the best and so are his albums, November 22, 2004

Some people say that they didn't like this album but personally I love this album and all of Joe's music. With tracks like "Ghetto Child" and "I understand" these are two truly brilliant tracks also the track "Lover's Prayer" is a truly romantic song and with the cheaky little number "Here She Comes" for me this album has everything and I would very much recomend this album and everyother joe album because they are all brilliant and well worth buying. Buy Joe and spread the word because he should be one of the biggest names in the world of music. HOW IS HE NOT?!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars An Underated Talent, May 3, 2006

Despite Joe not receiving such wide acclaim as other of todays R&B stars, his work and acheivements should not be overlooked as he is without doubt one of todays most gifted songwriters.

On his fourth project, Better Days (2001), he diplays his growing versatility as an evidently serious recording artist. His work has great depth expoloring serious and relevant human issues and expresses genuinley deep, honest emotion. He has an undeniable flair for ballads with such offerings as What If A Woman, Alone and Isn't This The World. The gentle and sensual musical arrangements which have all the emphasis and elements of the modern day R&B sound are all beautifully mellow with each holding an undeniably timeless appeal.

The quality in his work is consistent throughout and the album does delve into urban, late-night R&B numbers such as the sultry Let's Stay Home Tonight, Ghetto Child (featuring an effective interlude from another gifted R&B artist, Shaggy), the playful I Like Sexy Girls and a few truly sensational numbers like Lovers Prayer, Changed Man, I Understand to name but a few.

There is such passion in his work thats it's questionable as to why his unique talent an work so far has been so over-looked but never the less it's quality what counts and tis album is just that. This is probably Joe's greatest album yet and had it been given te right radio air-play this could have easily have catapulted into view with the media. Superb and sensational and possibly is the modern-day Marvin Gaye.
