Next single is the title track. This is my favorite by him since "Walkin' On The Moon".

#7 on iTunes. I'll be shocked if he pulls in more than 50k.

I'm not surprised. He dosen't have a hit right now but the album has single material left on it so I think this might be able to sell about between 50K-100K overall if future singles take off.

Ironically, one of my good friends discovered The-Dream with this album.

Bleh. I'm not really into strippers (or light skinned chicks). She has a nice body though.

I don't get how people would find that video sexy, but don't mind me. Decent song, though.

It's a good album but far from his best. Definitely very front loaded. It's really missing tracks like Fancy, Nikki and February Love to balance the album out.

I picked this up yesterday, but only because I had a $5 dollar coupon from Best Buy to use. I haven't listened to it yet besides skimming through. Well, I did listen to Turnt, which I LOVE...and Slow It Down and P***y sound pretty hot. Slow It Down gives me that feeling I like to get from Dream productions - it's like euphoria and melancholy blended together. I don't get the feeling this album's production is as baroque and complex as the other Dream albums but maybe I will get a lot of details when I listen to it in full.

In general. I spend a lot of money at Best Buy so I get those coupons a lot.

Shocker. He's finished as a solo artist; time to stick to writing/producing.
