Free Music Review: Omarion - 21
Hit: 4 Stars
With O's first album, he left you with the feeling that he has so much more to offer. With 21, he brings forth a much stronger effort, and really channels his inner Michael Jackson. Now im not saying that he is MJ, im simply sayin that you can see that he was trying to create a more dance record instead of trying to shake that pop mold that he had with his first album. And he really gets alot more personal on this album. On his first album, you could tell that he was just making an album full of pop hits, and songs that could possibly shake his boy band image. Now with this album he emerges more mature and much more sophisticated. Instead of doing songs like "Touch" where he pretty much says i just want sex, he does songs like "Just That Sexy" where he sings about the womens sexiness instead of just saying i wanna have sex with you. "Just That Sexy" is the perfect example of his maturity level going up. Not only in what he is saying, but also in the way the song sounds with its steaming hot production from the Underdogs and its booming bass, and he even sounds more convincing. And thats one area where O needed improvement. He has never been a really good singer, and that unfortunetly showed on O, but on 21 he really uses his voice alot better. And then on timeless classics like "Ice Box" he really goes all out. "Ice Box" is an amazing song. Its production alone makes it worth listening to. Its so dark, and yet, because of Omarions rough vocals, it really paints a good picture of the message the song is trying to deliver. And then on sexy club songs like "Beg For It" he shows he still has that dance club vibe to him with out losing that grown man feel on other songs to. Bottom line, on 21 he really shows his versatility. I would have never expected Omarion to do a song like "Made For TV" on his first album because that song is mature slow burning heartfelt ballad. And then he turns around and sings about a long nite with a jumpoff girl, while his girlfriend is at home sleeping on the synth happy roaring "Midnite". Overall this album is alot better than his previous, and it really shows how he has matured.
Grade:
B
21 Poster
He's got a liquidy voice, the looks to go with it and, at long last, a permanent lock on adulthood (21--get it?). But unlike another former boy-bander who hit the bigs with a well received solo disc, he's not hell-bent on bringing sexy back: 21, like O before it, traffics in funk-ribboned, vaguely Michael Jackson-ish club joints ("Entourage," "Do It," "Obsession") and a handful of sincerity-dunked slow jams ("Just Can't Let You Go," "Have You Ever Been With a Star"). But its chief concern seems to be putting across its creator's gift for getting heads bobbing. That's not to suggest that the newly mature Omarion is lacking in the ladies' man department--look no further than "Midnight," "Just That Sexy," and the craftily assembled lovers-from-friends number "What Are We Doing" for pulse-raising proof--only to point out that for him, raciness takes a back seat to bumpin' beats and a vibe that's borderline playful. A choir boy he ain't, but here's betting your mother will like him more than Timbaland and Timberlake. --Tammy La GorceUK pressing of the sophomore album from the R&B star features two bonus tracks: 'Making Of You' and 'The Truth'. After his debut solo album O soared to the #1 spot on Billboard's Top 200 Chart, it was solidified that Omarion was a force to be reckoned with. Now at age 21, Omarion's growth, maturity and depth are showcased on his sophomore effort, aptly titled 21. With contributions from producers like Timbaland (Justin Timberlake, Nelly Furtado) Pharrell, Bryan Michael Cox (Usher), every song shows how Omarion is not a kid anymore. 14 tracks. RCA. 2007
Includes Two Bonus Tracks Not on Uaa Version: "The Making of You" and "The Truth"
