Jamie Foxx, Unpredictable

The album is smooth and mellow and almost all the tracks except one has something to do with baby making.

When Jamie Foxx released his first album in 1994, he was a star on In Living Color with a decent-sized following. A decade later, Foxx was a major movie star who had impressed Clive Davis enough to be offered a new recording deal. Between now and his first album, he stayed active on the music scene with collaborations with Gladys Knight & Kanye West. He appeared on the Any Given Sunday soundtrack and then became a superstar with his portrayal of Ray Charles in Ray. Just when it seemed like he’d spend the remainder of his recording career as a Ray Charles impressionist, he put together Unpredictable, his second solo album. A mixture of R. Kelly and Ginuwine he has more than enough personality and talent to defend his music against accusations of opportunism. The album is smooth and mellow and almost all the tracks except one has something to do with baby making. Foxx has created a work geared toward sexual pleasure that will work its way into many late-night sessions.
