The first single off the CD, "Switch", also appears on the Hitch soundtrack, and there is a video playing now on MTV. The song is fun with a good dance beat. As is most of the other songs. What is good about Will is that he can have fun with his lyrics. Another favorite song of mine on the CD is the fourth track, "Mr. Nice Guy," in which Will says just because he is nice doesn't mean he is soft.

However, my favorite song on the entire CD has to be, "Tell Me Why". The song is a duet with Mary J. Blige, another strong and popular voice in the R&B genre. This song is rumored to be later released as a single, and I really hope that it is. Intense and powerful is how I describe this song. In past CDs, he has had songs for his son, and this is the one for this album. The song discusses the issues of the day, and asks how do you explain it to the children when they ask about what has happened.

The song brought tears to my eyes the first few times that I heard it. It is truly powerful, and this song is one of the few times I've ever heard Will use a curse word within in his lyrics. This alone shocked me. However, the way it was used in the song didn't even make me bat an eyelash. The emotions were clear. I really do hope this song is released as a single. A good song with a strong positive message is always needed. Music influences people. We all know this.

I recommend this CD. There's really one song on this CD I did not like. It is high energy and fun to listen to with positive messages throughout. No matter what this man does, he does it well. This CD is no exception.

Gina ... wait up. Man can't you be staying in one place for long? :-)


I promoted this review to Advance.net. That means I put it here (and these places) where it could potentially be read by another few hundred thousand readers.

- Thank you for the post. Temple Stark
