Editorial Reviews

Grammy® - nominated entertainer Omarion makes his long awaited return to the scene with his third studio album, Ollusion Throughout each record on the forthcoming release, Omarion showcases his growth as an artist and entertainer. Omarion is back with an updated sound and truly consistent album that proves he has grown up, as his fans have. The triple threat known for his vocal, dancing and acting abilities, penned and co-produced all of the songs on Ollusion. Producers who collaborated on the album include Tank, King, Detail and 253, among others; along with guest appearances by Gucci Mane and Fabolous. The premiere single, "I Get It In," has Omarion reuniting with producer Tank (responsible for title track and first single "O" on the last album). The song is an up-tempo banger featuring Southern rapper Gucci Mane. "My style has evolved so much on this album - I was able to express truly who I am from a creative and artistic standpoint, which allowed me to share a personal side of myself with my fans through my music. This is my masterpiece and I can't wait for the world to hear my new album," Omarion said. "I am very excited about my new home at EMI and know that this is the perfect opportunity for me to return to the charts."

wow i loved face /off and 21 was not bad but this cd ohh myy god. who produced this. it sounds so weak, theses are some lame beats. good luck dancin let alone moving at all to this. and the song wet! when the hell is that going to end. it sounds like theres no real music background, just bad sounds and weak, i can make at home drum/ keyboard sounds. its only 38 minutes long. i feel he might get if he's lucky 1 hit off of it, but i can't find it. i bought this i didn't download it, or get it free, and really was surprised how bad it is. another thing on the song "code red" they use the alarm sound thats on my ipod for alarms i use, and i thought it was my ipod going off (LOL) anyways. check it for yourself.

I'm going to make this review brief, because honestly I am not a big O fan. First I will say that O's last solo album 21 was good, but I kind of had a feeling that Ollusion was going to be a disappointment. First off, he took WAAAYYY to long to put out his follow up to 21 (I don't count Faceoff as a Omarion album), taking a little over three years to put out a very short album. Second, he made triple label switch before this album going from the decent T.U.G label, to Lil Wayne's monster Young Money label, than switched again to the EMI label...what was he thinking??? I personally think he would have been just fine staying with T.U.G./Universal, and he surely would have been successful on Young Money, but when he left Young Money for EMI thats where I lost him, because Marques Houston did the same thing earlier in 2009 when he left TUG for EMI and his last album (Mr. Houston) absolutely flopped on the charts and it was pretty bad. It could be potentially career ending for Marques Houston? So why did his half-brother (Music & Blood lol) make the exact same dangerous move??? I don't have a clue, but it definitely did make a large difference in his music and not in a good way. The production on Ollusion is the first big problem i noticed with the album, as it was pretty evident that the label downgrade brought in a lot less big names on the production credits. Previous collaborator Tank (The Underdogs) and T-Pain are the only truly big name producers on the album, and they both only contribute one track. "I Get It In", produced by Tank is the extremely catchy first single, and O does kind of bite Lil' Wayne's mumbling rap style on this track, but its still one of the few standouts on the album. And the T-Pain produced "Sweet Hangover" is another very catchy potential single with more mid tempo club track that you would expect from T-Pain complete with his signature snaps and the dreaded auto-tune, but luckily for Omarion, he pulls it off with this track. But other than those two tracks, and the mid tempo ballad "Speedin" and the relaxed "What Do You Say", everything on the album is completely forgettable. Where Omarion really messed up on this album was with the cheap knock off production from no-namers like 253 (who produced almost half the album), Detail (Ray J's Main Producer...thats all that needs to be said), and Marques Houston (lol). And even though Maddscientist is an alright producer, "I Think My Girl Is Bi" is a terrible and extremely annoying...it's very similar to a club/radio track from Lady Gaga, which means that even though the song is absolutely terrible and annoying, it could potentially be a hit. And "Temptation" sounds like a cheap knock off of Usher's "Confessions"... A really, really, really cheap knock off. And both tracks produced by Mr. Houston himself are terribly boring attempts at babymakers. Overall Ollusion just kind of comes off as rushed and cheap. I mean its not a terrible album, its just nothing special...at all. I mean look at the first week sales of all three of his albums, 2005's "O"- 195,000 units sold 1st week, 2006's "21"- 119,000 units sold 1st week, and 2010's "Ollusion"- 21,200 copies sold 1st week...thats a bad falloff.

After about 4 years off (to my knowledge...) Omarion is back. It is a good album all-around and well worth the $3.99!
