Jamie Foxx Intuition

If you need a party, slow, sped up, or mid up-tempo you’ll be satisfied.

In its entirety the album lacks the “newly” popular concept theme post-American Gangster release, but it works. Is it because of Foxx’s good-looking voice or is it the abundance of his impeccable choice of collaborations? Who cares!?!!!

Variety is the best way that I can describe Intuition. It is five inches of schizophrenia. What makes the album quite interesting are the odd matchups. Mr. Foxx has paired up with Sir Southern himself, T.I., and Sir Southern himself, Lil Wayne, and Marsha Ambrosius, the former songstress of Philly’s soul team, Floetry.

There’s nothing abnormal about R&B and rap music coming together, it’s just that sometimes the end product is better off left in a vault of never to be released audio. Sometimes it’s the best poetry to ever move. It must be the natural heavenly sound of real R&B singers that makes suave second nature. However, rappers seem to get so raptured in bravado that the charm needed to serenade is all too foreign.

Most people surely ran out and bought the album so they could have a tangible copy of the 2008 banger, “She Got Her Own ( the remix).” Since, Ne-Yo wasn’t gentleman enough to offer it on his own joint. (Just kidding Ne-Yo). Intuition is like Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory, there is something for everyone.

Tracks like “Freak’In Me” featuring Marsha Ambrosius, “Digital Girl” featuring Kanye West and The Dream, “Number One” are sure to be favorites like Intuition’s to date notables “Just Like Me” and “Blame It. It’s not that these songs are the best since Popeye’s biscuits but the partnerships are seamless.

Fans are probably wondering why Foxx chose such swaggering subjects considering his voice is boastful all on its own. I can only speculate that it is his release away from Hollywood’s stresses. Foxx reminds us all on “Love Brings Change,” that when it comes to entertainment he monopolizes without breaking a sweat.

Buy the album and pick your own number ones.
