For those who see Ray J on BET he comes of a lil corny, but don't sleep on this album. I heard mix reviews about his other albums and truthfully the title Raydiation is kind of lame. But after I heard One Wish i decided to pick this album up. Now Ray J Doesn't have a strongest voice but he does have good enough production and writing on this album to make up for that. The low points on this album are (Quit Hatin', Sexy, and Unbelievable). Other than that the album is solid.

THIS CD IS ONE OF THOSE CD'S WHERE YOU CAN LET IT PLAY ALL THE WAY THROUGH. PERSONALLY I WAS SURPRISED OF HOW GOOD RAY J'S CD WAS. IM VERY PICKY ON WHICH CD'S I BUY BECAUSE I DONT WANT TO WASTE MONEY ON A SH*TTY CD. BUT AFTER BUYING RAY J'S CD I FEEL I GOT MY MONEYS WORTH. SO DONT MISS OUT ON A GREAT CD AND MOST IMPORTANTLY DONT UNDER ESTIMATE THIS CD FROM RAY J.

This is one of those albums that you can't help but listen to over and over again. This is not one of those albums that you get and like one or two songs. "One wish" is a great song but you have to hear "anytime" and "lets play house." All I can say is go get it you'll love it.

The Raydiation CD brings Ray J out of the shadow of his sister Brandy. He has come into his own as a man and an artist. His growth in and outside of the music industry shone right through this album with sexually charged lyrics and tantilizing crooning. Far from "Bubble Gum Pop" and definitley proves the he ain't Brandy's little bro anymore. I give it a thumbs up and wish him the best of success. It's long overdue. Ray J has been in the game since the early 90s when he played the adopted son on the Sinbad Show.

I've been waiting a while for this album i was realy looking forward to this album since i heard one wish a couple of times.Now i have this album and i'm realy impressed i'ts incredible he must have give his all to come with such a great album like this.He putt his live experience in some songs about that he did a little dirt in tha past and that is cool because you'le won't hear that on most Rnb albums out these days.15 songs and almost all the songs are good believe me acept quit actin that song is borring.Ray j got a good voice he seems not to have problems with high singing and sometimes he raps well he sings with his voice he brings smoothnes in his music my credits for him.He is also a good writer not always but mostly,now let me talk about the beats A nice collection of beats over here You got The Club banger ones,the romantic ones,the exotic ones,and go on.And of course i got my list with favourite songs on this album everybody who likes this album does.

My favourites:

Keep sweatin:A good rap from fat head joe,a tight beat and ray j that does his thing defently a club banger.

What i need:Enjoyble,smooth beat nice lycrics serious singing of ray j youre crazy if you'le skip this one this might become a single it got what it takes to become that.

One wish:Some serious [...],cool but he shouldn't have put this as the 1st single there are better songs on this album that could have been the 1st single i doub it if one wish can become big but further nice song.

Exotic: Defently My most favourite and One of my favourite Rnb songs ever i can't stop listening to this song it's amazing the beat is exotic the lycrics Are Good Good And again Good And the feeling he put in his voice makes this song only better and better this song is defnetly a plus for Exotic Chicks. I hope this song will become the second single with this song he can score his first big number one hit it got al the ingredients for it.

Sexy:Lycrcis not much new,but the beat is Cool and mya is sexy.

In tha mood:this song bring me defently in tha mood to listen to it Romantic Flava good sex joint youle won't skip this.

Sorry for this long review if you'le don't believe all of this go check this album out. Peace

I listened to this album it surprised me. The intro was an innovative testament to the way he used to live his life and why he has changed. I thought that to be a unique way to start an R and B album. The first song was a Dark Child produced Crunk and B club banger. It's definitely something that DJ's will be spinning. The next 3 songs are melodius woman worshipping songs that you would expect to hear on a teen movie soundtrack. The almost humerous yet reminescent track "Let's Play" shows his lyrical diversity. The syllables bounce off one another like nursery rhyme. The melody floats over the guitar rift like a petal floating on water. The next song "Blue High Heels" made me queestion my listening to his album. It sounded like Micheal Jackson, singing a Prince song on top of a track almost identical to Kem's "Love is Calling My Name". After that terrible excuse for a song I almost stopped listening to the cd. "Melody" the 7th track on the cd redeemed him. It was an ode to the beauty of a melody that blew my mind. Reminescent of Musiq's love it is a song that praises the quality of a simple yet untangible object. The next song is a soulful duet with his sister. The next 3 songs are typical upbeat almost pop songs. His duet with Mya and his song "In the Mood" are not very good at all. I don't feel "Sexy" or "In the Mood" when I listen to these songs. The last 2 tracks "Anytime" and "Centerview" are only okay. "Centerview" is a great song to end the album with because it gives it closure. If a 4 is an 80 percent out of 100, roughly a B- that is what he deserves. It's better than the average R and B cd but not one that I would tell all my friends to go out and buy.

I am always one to do my best not to judge until I actually get my hands on a cd, so when I heard a friend say Raydiation was a good Cd I was a little iffy on getting it. His first CD was alright and I never really cared for his brand of music before. So I took the chance and got this cd via Itunes and I am shocked to say that the whole CD is good, from song to song it is really good. Songs like "Melody", "Let's Play House", "Sexy", "Anytime" are all good songs to listen to, just to get a feel for the CD. Homeboy did his thing this time.

aside from the Fact that I was only trying to get the Cut He did with R.kelly"Quit Actin", I wasn't paying this cat no musical mind.Ray J is vocally tone challenged.he can't make up His Mind who is attempting to jack as a Singer.One Minute He wants some R.kelly,then Usher,Omarion,etc...Problem is dude ain't much of a Singer.so i was surprised to hear any Record Company was actually gonna give Him a solo deal.but anyway I got the song I wanted&tunned out the rest.maybe if He is lucky he can get a gig on the UPN network.wait a minute I heard he got something linned up well stick to it&stay out of the Music lab.

I'm feeling this album. He has really stepped his game up a lot. The intro on the song is even hott.My favorites would have to be One wish, Keep sweatin',Lets play house, Melody, Sexy, Anytime, and What I need. The songs I didn't really care for are Unbelievable I don't like that song. Exotic I thought the song would be different. and War is over even though Rayj and Brandy collabos are usually hott I ain't feeling this song on this album.

Although Ray J is not up to par with the other R&B heavyweights out there such as Usher, Trey Songz, and Jahiem just to name a few, this album still shows some promise. The first single, "One Wish" speaks for itself....it shows that he has great vocals and he can have a hit song(Currently in the top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100). For the rest of the album, he has some impressive tracks. Some of the slow jams, specifically "Blue High Heels" and "Melody" really put him out there and sets him aside from some of the other R&B dudes out right now. "Sexy" with the beautiful Mya is a hot club song which has potential to be single. Besides that song though, the rest of the up-tempo songs on the album are weak. "Keep Sweatin" with Fat Joe failed to impress me because it sounds like everything else out there right now. Every R&B musician attempts to make a song like that. And "Unbelievable" produced by Timbaland just doesn't fit Ray J's style. Overall, I think fans of contemporary R&B should give this a try because Ray J really stepped it up with this release.
