The title track conquers with rapping by Wiz Khalifa, a contagious beat and an optimistic, major tune mood. The beginning is very inspiring – with some strokes the introduction This Will Be demonstrates high notes in Foxx’ vocals, samples interlacement with orchestra elements promising something delicious to follow.
On the other hand, the very record’s atmosphere lacks coherence, the fillers seem unnecessary, and it is only the stronger tracks that compensate the weaker sides.
#Best night of my life jamie foxx album full
On the one hand these tracks are carried out in the best R&B traditions, the production is practically brought to perfection and the beats are full of energy. Perhaps some time later Jamie Foxx will look at the disc Best Night Of My Life as at the symbol of a transition stage in his music searching. Sincere emotions and soulful tunes on Best Night Of My Life Though many will think that Jamie Foxx sounds a bit tired on his fourth work, there are really interesting and successful songs on Best Night Of My Life which do nothing but please. As before, the artist has tried to keep the balance between solo tracks and collaborations and to prove that he can be brilliant both alone and as part of a team.
The same thing happened while preparing his new work Best Night Of My Life. He has worked with well-known hip-hop and R&B producers, recorded collaborations always keeping up with the times as he is acquainted with those who can help him create a contemporary and asked-for sound. Yet he has been pleasing the audience with hits, and the last two albums, the 2005’s Unpredictable and the 2008’s Intuition have earned him a name in the music culture. It goes without saying that his active work on the radio, in cinema and on stage demands a lot of time, and it is not easy for Foxx to concentrate his attention on something concrete. When the guest appearances are more memorable than the star, things have not gone well.Jamie Foxx can be brilliant both alone and as part of a teamĪctor, comedian and singer Jamie Foxx has recently celebrated his forty-third birthday and added a new album, Best Night Of My Life, to his discography which has become the artist’s fourth studio creation. The album’s best track, brassy “Winner” succeeds largely on the strength of Justin Timberlake’s performance and an excellent rap from T.I., saving the song from its unimaginative hook. The Knight Rider-esque flickering synth and clapped beat of “Freak” fuel the solid booty-shaking bedroom tune, but the auto-tune on horrid beachfront duet “Sex On The Beach” and post-threesome robbery tale “All Said And Done” feels unnecessary and ruins Foxx’s vocals, though neither song had much going for it lyrically regardless. The lighthearted tune is unfortunately sparse, with a snapped beat, piano and some fluttering strings not providing enough meat. Title-track, “Best Night Of My Life” finds Foxx playfully hitting on a woman in the club, “Girl, can I be real? / I just wanna feel / On your booty / That’s not a big deal”. The best of the non-club fare is easily the sweet, but sluggish, ballad “Fall For Your Type”, with a foggy-voiced rap from Drake. sample for its hook, fall flat because of detached, monotone vocals. The hollowed-out vibe of “Hit It Like This” and sparse “Living Better Now”, leaning on a Notorious B.I.G. The herky-jerky vocals bouncing around the verses of “15 Minutes” are only half of the ballad’s problem, thanks to its repetitive hook. The muddled, sloppy “Rejoice” wastes his decent falsetto, while the horribly slow-churning pace of “Sleeping Pill” finds his vocals meandering aimlessly, with no sense of melody or flow. The album turns into a tale of two artists, with Foxx delivering nicely on a few of the uptempo tunes, but clumsily fumbling his way through terrible ballads.ĭrippy love song, “Gorgeous” finds Foxx confessing his willingness to drop money on his beautiful woman with clunky lyrics like, “This must be a match made in heaven / Feels like dice when I roll a seven”. Again loaded with famous guest like Soulja Boy, Drake and Rick Ross, Foxx attempts to strike a balance between club-ready jams and sexy ballads. Following a Grammy win for “Blame It” off his last album, putting together a decent ‘actor album’ is no longer enough for Actor-turned-singer Jamie Foxx.
