Singer-songwriter Donell Jones has penned songs for the likes of Usher, Silk and 702. He's also become a successful solo artist in his own right, and, next week, he presents "I'm Gonna Be," the latest single from his current album Journey of a Gemini. Tim & Bob produced the song for the Chicago native, while The Underdogs and Ryan Leslie also pitched in behind the boards for other cuts on the album. Meanwhile, Jones also got some help from super-songwriter Sean Garrett, whose writing credits include Ciara's "Goodies," Usher's "Yeah" and Chris Brown's "Run It!"

[Bob]

this should be his biggest hit since "Where I Wanna Be", because it's the first time since that album that he's had really fresh production.

[Bob]

After several listens, I actually think this is REAL good, better than "Where I Wanna Be". I hope this gets enough promo to go far.

I heard this on the radio and on promo squad. I like it. Male r&b singers seem to be on the rise so it might be a hit for him.

[George]

I like this song, but Tim & Bob need to quit with that instrumental!

Where is this song at on the charts? Is anyone playing it? Donell is not my favorite male singer, but I respect him a lot. I hope that he blows up and does well on the charts with this effort. It's been some years since his last CD.

It's bigger on Urban AC than on the Mainstream at the moment.

I LOVE IT!
