Album Reviews: Jamie Foxx


Jamie Foxx debuts his 2nd studio album 'Intuition' packed with collabo's with some of the industry's finest. See what critics are saying about the project below:


The LA Times: "Intuition" presents a sampler of contemporary R&B styles from producers including Timbaland, Just Blaze, Butter Beats and Calvo Da Gr8, giving the collection a disjointed air. Foxx's identity as a musician isn't any clearer than it was on his double platinum debut album, "Unpredictable." You'd have a hard time telling who's at the center of most of these state-of-the-art but undistinctive concoctions. Unless, of course, Foxx turns them into videos.


The Baltimore Sun: Just as he did on Unpredictable, Foxx couches his smooth vocals in super-sleek tracks tailored for either the clubs or the bedroom. It's trendy, high-gloss R&B laced with slightly sleazy lyrics that center on the various ways Foxx ensnares his fly honeys. Throughout Intuition, the artist, who turned 41 this month, is still an actor: He convincingly portrays a sex-obsessed playboy nearly half his age. But as it stands, the CD is overly cautious, self-consciously trendy and ultimately forgettable - nothing like the Foxx seen in the movies.
