Well, Well, Well a fellow Scorpio...whom I absolutely adore. This young man is from a boy band i like a few songs from. I thought his last cd wasn't that good! I didn't feel like he had completely made the departure enough from them to have a distinct sound of his own! This time around tho I think he has done us (Scorpio's) PROUD...from the grown up CD cover down to a nice lil R&B CD...
This is a fantastic R&B CD and Omarion co-wrote just about all the songs which shows some creative growth on his part. He really shines on songs like, The Truth (a touching song), Just cant Let You Go an uptempo banger that you can hear in the club and just picture Omarion dancing his ASS off too, Obsession a mid tempo track that makes you realize this boy is a crazy, crazy, scorpion (and an upgraded Justin Timberlake), and of course ICEBOX which is insanely GOOD and well written and my official motto "I've got this Icebox where my heart used to be".
It is however not without its downfalls the FIRST single which caused a 6 month shelving because it bombed Entourage while I think its an OK song it is by no means a single. That is one of those songs you groove to when you get the CD. "Fool With You" three words for this song NO, NO, NO! He doesn't have the depth yet to tackle a classic especially the isley's and with lyrics starting out like "Saw u walking my way with some M&M's and a Mountain Dew" it makes you just want to scold him and also reminds you that YES he is 21. Also Man Up (which was posted here first) from the UK version of the CD...is very B2K-esque.
All in all tho, this is a CD that I will be my first purchase the day after Christmas...I can't wait.
