Artist : Sean-Gemini
Review Type: Album
Title : Inner Me
Website: www.Sean-Gemini.com
Rating: 4.5

Review: Sean-Gemini takes you on a refreshing journey, with music, which is reminiscent of the 70’s. This CD is a climactic explosion of powerful vocals and lyrical content. It gives you a partial view of Sean-Gemini the man, with lyrical content; torn between religious perspectives, hope for the future and the ever so intriguing interaction between a man and a woman. This is definitely an album you want to add to your collection. Truly and R&B Gem. Plus there is an amazing 19 Tracks on this album, Lots of Bang For Your Buck.

REVIEW: I would first like to start off by saying what ever happened to Jodeci?

Jodeci Essentially taking over for the sweet sounds of New Edition & Cool N the Gang & paving the way for similar R&B groups, which followed in the same vein like Jagged Edge & 112. Jodeci seems to disappear from their once prominent spot in R&B music history.

This CD really does feature the best of the best from Jodeci’s Catalog.
I am not sure what the status of Jodeci is right now as to weather or not they have gotten back together or plan to in the near future. But this collection of hits is one you should have prominently featured in your CD collection. The only thing that could make this album better is it being released amongst a sea of rumors about a new album from the quartet.

REVIEW: How can you be mad at an album, which starts with, “I’ma eat your body out” in the first chorus of the first song on the album? Well looking beyond the obvious reason a female may initially be cajoled into having some sort of warm feelings in association with this album. I will try to look past that to actually reviewing this album based on its merit.

This whole album seems to be about sex in one way or another; I am not picking up a great deal more than that. The intellectual level of content on this album is something I think that people beyond the age 18 won't be able to appreciate, which makes me wonder, how old are they anyway. I don’t see anything that they offer which is different or has not been easily surpassed by more qualitative R&B Crooners.  

Some of the songs are just painful to listen to, because their voices are not refined enough to try and get away with the lyrical delivery they are attempting. For a painfully obvious example listen to Track #08... They also make an attempt at being hardcore on Track# 09. Grill Em, it’s just not believable.

This album is filled with clichés and this Hip-Hop / R&B thing they keep trying to pull off is just not working. The rapper is horrid at best and his flow sounds like he’s slowed down in a very un-natural manner. At this point I am at a loss for what these guys bring to the game. Time to go back to development Pretty Ricky!

Hope they come with something more qualitative in their next offering if there is one.

REVIEW: I was a bit skeptical when I initially started listening to this album, I had Mike Jones, Pegged as a gimmick who got where he was cause he was willing to give out his number to every and anyone. As I got to the 6^th track on the album, Mike Jones had created a new fan in me. I was able to overlook the more than plentiful, mentions of his name, his major deal, phone number and icy grill to enjoy his flows his catch hooks and a few personal insights into the mind and experiences of Mike Jones.

Track #10. 5 Years from now makes for an especially good listen. Mike Shares with us his quandary about who he is going to be or where he is going to be 5 years from now, touching on subjects from Kids, politics to people away at war, him possibly not being alive and the world potentially not being here & him being scared about not knowing what the future holds.

Track #15. Grandma is a sweet tribute to his grandmother who passed on, the affect she had on his life and still has on his life while. As how as he achieves his dreams of success and receives validation for reaching those goals that its not quite as sweet or as complete as it could be if his grandma was there to share those accolades with him.

This album is definitely worth listening to and having in your collection.
