Editorial Reviews

T-Pain is at it again. After landing another platinum selling radio hit single with "Best Love Song," featuring Chris Brown, followed by quickly rising single "5 O'Clock," featuring Wiz Khalifa and Lily Allen, singer/rapper/producer T-Pain announced that RCA Records will release his fourth studio album rEVOLVEr on December 6, 2011. The follow-up to his 2008 platinum-plus selling album Thr33 Ringz, rEVOLVEr (visually spelled as rEVOLVEr for a reason), demonstrates the evolution of T-Pain as an artist.

"rEVOLVEr is drawn from seven albums' worth of material," said T-Pain. "There are so many different things on this album. I couldn t settle on what I wanted to include, but the final result I think will really hit all of my fans and different audiences," says the singer. "I've developed a new audience from the Taylor Swift stuff, the Bud Light and Toshiba commercials, the T-Pain Mic and App. There is music for everyone on this album, but definitely still classic T-Pain at the same time." --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

I've got to give it to T-Pain. This is the first CD he's completed that I didn't just want to listen to the singles. I let this entire CD ride out for two days straight and plan to buy it after listening to a full preview of it. "Bang Bang Pow Pow" gets folks off the wall at parties (and the more arrogant dudes swagging it out thinking of the money they probably don't have). "Bottlez" gets heads nodding and would be useful in bars and clubs. "It's Not You (It's Me)" reminds me of a will.i.am track. It's not my favorite track, but I don't recall ever wanting to dance fast to a breakup song before, and Pitbull rapping could have something to do with that.

"Default Picture" is a sign of the times. Not only is it a cute song. Somebody out there is getting their crush on while tweeting, and this could easily be based on a true story. The man even pouted about not seeing "mentions" and should he "unfollow" her.

I've listened to "5 o' clock" just about every morning for the past couple months and still am not tired of that song. It's laid-back, bluesy and kinda sexy in a committed relationship kinda way. "Sho Time" is another couples (or booty call) track. This one will probably get some play "to GET some play." "Rock Bottom" is what happens as a result of "Sho Time." I like Chris Brown and T-Pain as a team on "Look at Her Go" although "Kiss Kiss" is still my favorite of theirs. Somebody is going to be popping to this one. (Side note: What I love about T-Pain is he's not afraid to dance, just like Chris Brown. Both of them could clear a dance floor and just snap. I've seen him perform live, and I stood up through his entire performance because he has that much live energy.)

"Drowning Again" threw me off because I was ready for his Auto-Tune, and he took it a different route with this one. I'm not mad at this song.

I don't think any woman wants to be called "regular," but I got where T-Pain was going with "Regular Girl" plus the "Friday" line was amusing. The rest of the songs were cool. I'm always excited to hear anything with Ne-Yo in it so "Turn All the Lights On" outshined almost all of the last few. The song isn't that great, but Ne-Yo is! That is, until I got to "Nuthin'." T-Pain flipped out on that one and came extra hard. This song reminded me of the energy of "Church," and I LOVE "Church." The beat is crazy. I could do without the b-word, but if I block it out, I could probably dance to this one.

Cons: "Mix'd Girl" is extra random. Biracial girls may really enjoy this one, but it comes off as an odd theme. "I Don't Give a ----" sounds extra bitter. It's not that I don't like the song, but it just doesn't make sense to say "all I do is win" when the lady he's rapping about sounds like she's making him lose. Something just seems creepy to me whenever R. Kelly sings these days so I couldn't totally get into "Center of the Stage." It's an OK song though.

Note: The Deluxe edition has three more songs than the original version. I made the mistake of buying the one without "Nuthin'" and I liked that song so I'm slightly disappointed. However, paying $1.29 for a single and not paying for the other two songs ("Center of the Stage" with R. Kelly and the other with "Regular Girl"), is just fine with me.

This is a really great album, and the price was great. T-Pain is very universal and his music is wonderful.

At first i was uneasy about buying this album, but when I saw it for $4, i figured why not. Although t-pain has never been all that great, I expected more out of him on this album. The only song i really loved was Bang Bang Pow Pow, the rest were either ok or terrible
