Lyfe's Best Album,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: I Still Believe (Audio CD)
Lyfe Jennings has sadly called I Still Believe, his fourth LP his final album. It is a sad day because I Still Believe may just be his valedictory effort. Even if calling it `his bet yet' is a bit lofty, it is `heads-n-tails' above Lyfe's previous effort, 2008's Lyfe Change. Don't get me wrong, I liked Lyfe Change, but it lacked the grandeur of previous efforts 2004's Lyfe 268-192 and 2006's Phoenix. Lyfe's purported final effort 'I Still Believe' restores that grandeur in a fine closing chapter to a great, if underrated recording career. All Lyfe fans hope that this is not Jennings' final album ever - I know I sincerely hope!!!
"Statistics" is a smart opening cut for this effort, much better than "Keep on Dreaming" from 'Lyfe Change'. "Statistics" creatively uses `statistics' as the basis of its lyrics creating one of the more creative R&B songs I've heard in years. Maybe its not revolutionary only because Lyfe is now an established artist, but it is one of his best songs, easily. "Love" doesn't possess the same potency as "Statistics", but it is definitely another strong cut. On "Love," Jennings favors more contemporary R&B production as opposed to the more adult R&B leaning production work of "Statistics." While the more neo-soul leaning productions throughout this album better represent Lyfe Jennings as an artists, there is not the least bit of shame in a fine cut like "Love". "It Coulda Been Worse" gives "Statistics" a run for its money as the valedictory cut from I Still Believe. The production work is old-fashioned, but smartly so as it brings out the best in Jennings' raspy, soulful vocals. The songwriting is superb and Jennings' performance is one of the best of his career in my opinion. "Spotlight" has hard shoes to fill following "It Coulda Been Worse" and while it is eclipsed, it is still a solid contemporary R&B cut, if a shade shy of the grandeur of say "Love". "Busy" resurrects any notion of lost momentum serving as another standout cut, if less appealing than "Statistics" or "It Coulda Been Worse". If nothing else, the use of the `busy' signal from a phone makes "Busy" worthwhile. "Whatever She Wants" is solid, though not revolutionary. Better is the well written, if too short duet "Mama", which features soul standout Anthony Hamilton. It is tracks like "Mama" where Jennings shines best. "Hero" is solid, even if it feels like a semi-rewrite of Jennings' "Ghetto Superman" from The Phoenix. "I Still Believe" is another sound, uplifting cut, fitting the uplifting sense given off by this album. "Learn From This" is solid, though not stellar. Its follow-up "Done Crying" fairs similarly, but as I have emphasized constantly, both are still worthy of a couple of spins. "If I Knew Then, What I Know Now" and "If Tomorrow Never Comes" serve as great closing tracks, returning any lost momentum to the finely crafted 'I Still Believe.' In my opinion, 'I Still Believe' is an `A' affair with no outright bad cuts. Jennings sounds his most refined and polished here, putting together a much more cohesive set than 2008's 'Lyfe Change.' Let's hope this isn't his final album fans. 4 stars.

Lyfe Jennings Is Back With Another Hot Album!!,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: I Still Believe (Audio CD)
I Just brought Lyfe Jennings new album "I Still Believe" September 18th. It is a very good album and every song on the cd is hot. This is the type of album you can put in your stereo system and just like play all the way through. Lyfe Jennings tells a story in his music and sings about things that people can relate to. For instance, on the second song "Statistics" he breaks down the statistics for women and their chances at finding a good man. The song "Busy" the lead single from the album talks about a women always being busy and never having time for her man when he calls or comes by. Most people can relate to that because it happens to men and women all the time. Lyfe Jennings a soulful voice and good songwriting skills. He makes good music you can vibe to and it comes from his soul. He was a troubled individual having served 10 years in prison for arson and come out and got discovered on Apollo and the rest is history. Lyfe Jennings is one of a kind and paints a picture with music and words like none other. On the song "I Coulda Been Worst" he talks about how people struggle in life and if it weren't god or that special someone your life could turn out worst then what it. Lyfe Jennings talks about missing his kids and learning from a past relationship on the song "Learn From This". Overall this cd is worth buy and you should run not walk and go buy a copy. This is R&B/Soul at it's best. There are very few good singers these days, but Lyfe Jennings is one of the few and I hope he continues to make more good music to come. I am waiting for album number 5 because I know it's gonna be even better then this one!! Go get a copy of Lyfe Jennings "I Still Believe" and tell all your friends and family about so they can get a copy too!! NO BOOTLEGGIN....GO OUT AND SUPPORT LYFE JENNINGS BUY A COPY DON'T DOWNLOAD...THIS IS REAL MUSIC!!
