The album's about on par with his last one for me. Neither comes close to his first three albums. Pleasant listen but only a few tracks I see myself listening to regularly. My favorites are "Lie To Me" and "Lonely" with Brian Culbertson.

Promise to Love debuted at #3 with 52k. I know sales for R&B acts have gone off a cliff but he was gone for far too long. Agreed. He takes way too long between albums and never established himself on the level of some R&B acts who are able to actually build hype during those long gaps. I also think Promise to Love was a significant decline in quality from his first 3 albums, so my excitement for a new album wasn't as high this time around as it was earlier in his career... and I feel like the album isn't any better than the last one. I think he and Toni are in a similar boat right now... Urban AC is responding really well to the singles, but people don't seem to be interested in the albums. |

I didn’t expect he would do better than Toni. It’s not a huge difference, but still.

New single, "Stuck On You," likely out on Friday. Full Circle EP coming soon, presumably by the time he goes on tour late next month.

He takes way too long between albums and never established himself on the level of some R&B acts who are able to actually build hype during those long gaps. His career kinda got off to a late start. |
