After waiting over two years for his third album, I was not disappointed. Joee not only exceeded his previous success by creating more organic sounds than simply synthezised ones, but the writing was also much more heartfelt than previous albums. The 28-year-old pop star from Toronto wrote or co-wrote nine of the eleven tracks, but also co-produced, arranged and played the piano/keyboard tracks on the entire album. While Joee is shamelessly "pop" in his sound, he takes his music seriously. When faced with those who deride pop music for its apparent simplicity, he challenges them to write a successful pop tune--something easier said than done. My favourite tracks on the album include "I Don't Believe You," for the emotion-packed dance energy, "Does That Make You Happy?," the acoustic "Angel [Reprise]," and I am still fond of the track "Arriba" three years after it's first release as a single, for it's fun sound. And even with all that talent, Joee is absolutely gorgeous, which only makes the package all that much sweeter.

I love Joee. Great upbeat music to listen to, dance to, or just have playing in the background. Lots of fun.

it good, ever since i first heard Angel (Truth album) 5 years ago I was amazed by his taleted unique voice. Even though I have never heard him on the radio but on a mix tracks w/ other dance artist thank gawd. This album is a mix of dance, pop, soft, etc.

Listeners to the newest installment of Joee albums will NOT be dissapointed with the display and musical ingenuity involved with his junior album. Many who have listened Joee evolve from the days of Intonation (Metropolitan Records) (Died in your Arms, Nothing to You, etc) to his sophomore album (Truth) (the now defunct Popular Records) to the recent self entitled disc, see a transformation that shows how Joee has evolved and made transitions from a freestyle artist to a pop orientated artist without losing his roots as a dance artist. This album is a more personal approach to his style of music which allows for an empathetic audience to relate, absorb, and most importantly, relate to the topics involved with each line of lyric. The top notch production of this album makes it one of the biggest "sleeper" records of 2002. Joee, get a new record label, at least one that will promote and support you! Joees seems to be a star, destined for greatness, but trapped behind the bureaucratic BS that dictates the music indusry...
