Definitely replay material for the lovers as well as dreamers.ģ. Closer I get to you featuring Alja Kamillion 4.26Īnyone whose ever lost a relationship or a loved one would relate to this one, it brought tears to my eyes. There’s nothing sexier than a vulnerable man. “They say that a man aint’ supposed to cry but I am crying out for you coz I see me with you forever,” he sings. He’s neither the player in “This Luv”, the man begging for forgiveness on “What you want”, threatening to leave like in “Better start talking” or the heartbroken “Where I wanna be” singer but a man thankful for the 22 years he’s spent with his wife. Here, the smooth crooner is at the peak of maturity (lyrically speaking). What a wonderful ballad befitting the album’s title. The short a capella into the intro is nothing short of a Jodeci/Shai harmonies reincarnated. There could never be a more perfect intro for an R&B album than a sexy song (complete with lazy beats) about making love. The 12-tracked album is ultimately an ode to die-hard R&B/old-school-music-ethic lovers.

“Beautiful” questions love that doesn’t run skin deep, with the soulful “Sorry I Hurt You” acting as an ideal ‘Please forgive me’ song if you’re having relationship trouble. With only one outside singer featured in the entire album this is Donell’s playground where he choses to host an orgy of odes: to his mother, wife and his inspiration, Michael Jackson-all outstanding and well-done. The flow and coherence of this album (in terms of musical styles/instrumentation, mostly sweet-sounding or edgy guitar riffs) from start to finish is superb. While interviewing him in 2011, Donell talked very passionately about his home “studio sessions” and soon returning to songwriting (He’s in the past penned songs for singers like Usher and Silk). But then, they wouldn’t know that all this independence was always part of him and the grand plan. Seeing as it’s been released/produced via his label imprint CandyMan Music, anyone would say that Donell has come of age. Apart from countable R&B albums from Boyz II Men, Mint Condition, Monica and Joe I can’t point you towards a truer and more exclusive R&B album released in the past decade than Donell’s seventh studio album Forever (July 2013). At least as represented by Donell Jone’s consistency while keeping it real for the genre. Descripción del álbumR&B must be forever. Ver Más Your browser does not support the audio element. Apart from the surprisingly brash "Step the F*** Off" and the Michael Jackson tribute "I Miss the King," not much sticks out, but the album is consistently likeable, filled with comfortable, mid-wattage grooves, yearning ballads (including the Teena Marie-sampling "Closer I Get to You"), and a couple diversions into racier content (such as "You Know" and "Ride This"). Forever is even closer to being a one-man show than 2010's Lyrics, with Jones performing every instrument but guitar, and he gets only a little songwriting assistance (and no guest appearances from MCs). More should be made of Jones' versatility. There's no denying that his fan base is devoted and significant in size each one of his albums has peaked within the R&B Top Ten, and he really is more of an album artist than a singles artist, since his releases tend to sustain a steady mood and have never seemed concerned with crossing over. The sticker on the front of Donell Jones' sixth album - his second release for veteran R&B-artist sanctuary eOne - refers to the singer as an "R&B superstar." For someone who has reached the Billboard R&B Top 20 only four times (the last time was in 2002), that's probably a stretch. Disfrute de este álbum en las apps Qobuz con sususcripción
