Odd. I actually like those 3 tracks that will be on the album. He always has one random rapper thrown on at least one song, though.

Check out Veteran. If you like his other 2 solo albums, you will love that one; it's easily his best work to date!

Yes it is. Hopefully he changes his mind and puts it on the tracklisting. If you like this song, then you should check out "Tears" too. It's has that acoustic vibe going on as well.

He takes really good pictures & I like his album covers. I liked his previous singles, but wow. That's a lot of videos already made for an project that hasn't been released yet.

He really photographs well. :) The artwork/promo stuff that has been made available so far is really classy and tasteful. I am liking the few songs that I have heard so far.

I wonder how his album is gonna do. His previous albums have always had a minor/major R&B hit to lead it off ("That Girl", "Naked", "Circle").

The album started off promising but it disappointed me in the end. The first 5 tracks are definitely the strongest and proof he should let outside producers do the work for him because the records he did by himself with Chris' assistance are underwhelming to say the least.

Thanks Shooter for your review. Looks like I'll be downloading this on Amazon. Sucks "Sunset" isn't on the album.

I'm kinda nervous about buying this ever since I read Shooter's review. I was hoping Amazon would have a $5.99 deal.

Everything else just sounded boring, like the spark was missing. He's a decent songwriter but he should leave the melodies, hooks, and production to the professionals.

I'm not surprised; I think this last set of singles is the worst any lead singles of his have done.

Less than 9k is embarrassing even in today's market. Marques has never been a major seller at all, but I would think it would be better.

I wonder where he's getting all the money for making a video for every song on the album?
"You Got Served" and Immature/IMX money?

He's considered an independent artist now, allowing Mr. Houston to debut at #9 on the Top Indie Albums chart.

"Kickin' & Screamin'" currently is storming up the R&B charts and is the first single off his fifth album due this summer. He also leaked "Noize" which is leaps and bounds better than K&S and it would fit nicely on "Naked". Check both songs out below.
