The two rely HEAVILY on their vocal skills. MCA brings in many producers who have hits, namely Rodney Jerkins, Babyface, and Mike Smoov. However, they also brought in some relatively unknown producers, such as Delite and Blacq. In my opinion, the production on this album is not the best.

Again, K-Ci & JoJo try to make radio-friendly songs, which is the biggest difference between the duo and JoDeCi. There aren't any songs like All My Life, but there could be a few hits in marketed well. This album would be most comparable to Love Always because they slow it down for many ballads. Personal favorites include "I Don't Want," "Say Yes," "So Emotional" and "I Don't Mind."

All in all, not bad, but not Jodeci, which is what any true R&B fan wants.

This has got to be Kci and Jojo at their best and in perfect time for christmas as well. They have done it once again, they wrote and produce all their songs and the words to the songs touch your heart, if you have a special some one run out and pick up the cd it will make a fantastic gift!


Worth the wait?   February 2, 2003

The duo of K-Ci & JoJo have now released 4 albums during their time apart from Jodeci. Although I have always been a huge fan of K-Ci and JoJo from their Jodeci days, one could only sigh when listening to this album. There are some outstanding tracks on the CD, but all in all it's the same old formula they have used on the last 3 albums. Commercial ballads, some which bore and put you right to sleep. It's Me, produced by Rodney Jerkins is the only uptempo track, and definately one of the standouts on the album along with I Don't Want and the Babyface produced track, Down 4 Life. This album of course means that the forever delayed Jodeci album is pushed back again. One can only wait for for DeVante and Mr. Dalvin to hook up with the Hailey's again to make some real R&B music.


Exaclty Who IS This????   October 17, 2003

These songs are all very cute and romantic, but where is my RAUNCH? C'mon now, y'all know that even the sweetest, purest, truest love has to have SOME stank in it to work. The voices are still there, but most of this material would be better off with the Backstreet Boyz or O-Town or even The Carpenters. These are real men with real voices-find material that allows them to show that in ALL of it's forms. Please, at least put SOME of that good ole stank a dank dank back in it! I guess they call this maturing, but I call it getting stale-REAL FAST! And that last one "How Long" sounds borderline country-WHAT?? Where is DEVANTE SWING????


I Have My Picks   December 8, 2002

These guys have consistantly given us great R&B when everyone else was running to Hip-Hop (even if it didn't fit them). If it is Hip-Hop, that is cool with me, but why run from R&B when their would be no Hip-Hop without it? These brothas understand how R&B can be influnced by other things without becoming other things.

This may not be their BEST work, but I have my picks from it.
"This Very Moment" is an absolutely perfect work of musical art and I love the Jodeci sounding song, "I Can't Get Enough" that appears on the European release only. This CD is more than worth the buy just to remind you of what R&B is (in case you were confused by all the "wanna-be" Hip-Hoppers).
