Lyfe (A VOICE THAT BURNS) Jennings

Ok, I wrote about one of my favorite singers, Alicia Keys....so I figured that since I just got the new Lyfe Jennings album I'd write about that too.

First I gotta go back to the beginning. His first CD I brought without hearing a single song, without knowing anything about him or what kind of music I would be listening to. I mean, he was holding a guitar on the album cover so for all I knew he could have been a country singer...but since I like all genres of music it really wouldn't have mattered anyway. I brought the CD because a fellow poet in my poetry group rant and raved about it. And I was curious....so when I was in Best Buy and saw that the album was only $9.99 I figured...what the hell, I can't go wrong for $10 bucks.

I got it home....downloaded it on to my computer and listened to every song. After listening to the CD, it really could have cost me $50 and I would have still felt like I was the one getting over. I don't care what nobody says....there ain't nobody out right now that can make yo ass feel good about being stuck up. Lol. I know that's wrong (especially coming from a law enforcement official) but whatever.

Ok, anyway on to this new CD. I think some artist because of all they've been through just get a pass at that whole sophomore jinx thing....I have a very good ear for music and this album WILL go platinum. This man has a voice that burns. Whenever I buy a CD and I really feel the lyrics to the songs, I always look to see if the artist wrote them because it's so easy to sing somebody else's words. I wasn't surprised to see that he wrote all his own stuff. Let's just be for real....Who else can write what you feel better than you.

So anyway, I say all this to say that although I'm sure everybody & Bush's momma has heard S.E.X but just incase somebody is reading this and happens to find themselves in a music store and sees this album....BUY IT! And you will be needing two, cause you gonna be mad as hell if one gets scratched.
