To make a long story short.....Jon B's new cd, 'Helpless Romantic', is dope. Go get it. Jon B is one of the few artist out now that I will actually go to the store to buy a cd for. Gotta support dope independent artists.Jon B. is one of the most underrated R&B artists of the last decade. Dude just doesn't make wack albums (cds) and this one is no different. He scares me at the beginning of the joint with a NeYo/Chris Brown sounding song (It's U), but then settles in to vintage Jon B. material. His last cd in 2004, 'Stronger Everyday', was very very slept on. This is Robin Thicke with more soul. I shouldn't say that cause really he was bangin' before Robin Thicke. So if u want a real r&b cd that can pretty much play all the way through, this is it. Glad to see Jon B. back. Peep the 80's cd cover.

Jon B's new album is hot garbage. I respect your opinion but I disagree wholeheartedly. This album is a disappointment on so many levels I can't even describe it. Where is the soul? His soul is completely absent from this tragic fail of a record. And seriously what is with the comparisons of Jon and Robin Thicke. The only thing they have in common is their race. Their music are not a like, neither one for that matter is a true r&b artist. Jon is along that hip hop tip and Robin is a soul artist that spans many genres. Either way, this album was not the bizness. It was most definitely $8.00 I wish I had back. A trip to subway would have been possible instead of wasting it on that mediocre, hating fool.
I feel so silly because from looking at the album cover I could have sworn this was an album from the early 90s. I've been turned off from listening to it because of the cover alone. I loved the Cool Relax album so I will now give this one a chance, now that I know it comes from this decade! :)
