The Miami Vice star takes the opportunity to showcase his other influences, going full-tilt hip-hop with Ludacris on the title track, resurrecting Prince's sensual electro-funk sound for "DJ Play a Love Song" and tipping a hat to the old-school R&B sounds of Marvin Gaye in cuts like "Warm Bed" and "Love Changes," his duet with Mary J. Blige.

Unpredictable is anything but, but if you enjoy Foxx’s smooth vocals and sexed-up lyrics, then this album is for you.

Unfortunately, too much of the album is influenced by the dated ‘bump n grind’ era of early 90's R&B, the same style he stuck with on the then-more-timely music debut Peep This in 1994.

Foxx shows some real talent on this album, and he doesn't embarrass himself - except for when he embarrasses himself.

A solid enough collection of slow jams, but one parading under a misnomer of a title.

File this album next to Don Johnson's "Heartbeat" and Bruce Willis' "The Return of Bruno."

Since his Oscar-winning portrayal of Ray Charles, Foxx has become a regular of the urban music landscape, popping up on albums by hip-hop and r&b heavyweights.

When the album works, it's because of Foxx's easy charm and A-list confidence, which staves off overkill while he's dropping lush, insistent melodies on well-conceived love odes like "VIP."

Unpredictable bogs down in twitchy reconciliations of Southern bounce, moist G-funk and smooth jazz that don't even begin to prop up Foxx's forgettable melodies, phoned-in rapper cameos dropped awkwardly into songs (industry standard, but still), lubricated come-ons, disjointed narratives, multi-tracked and variously filtered Foxx-on-Foxx harmonizing and fluttery emoting.

Jaime Foxx is probably one of the most talented individuals on the scene. This album truly shows off his vocal talents that we've seen at times on the Jaime Foxx Show. I always wanted him to make a cd because I knew it would be hot and he did not disappoint me at all with this album. The collaborations he had with other artists, in my opinon fit perfectly. I love Unpredictable, plain and simple its just a hot song. I also love the last song that he has on there "Wish you were here" written for his grandmother. I can not get that song out of my head I think its beautiful. When I saw him perform it at the American Music Awards I was amazed. There was so much emotion in his performance and it was so real I was mezmorized by him. I have always thought Jaime Foxx to be very talented but after seeing the movies Collateral and Ray and then to hear this album I think he's brillant. Jaime Foxx is definatly going to continue to wow us and do some big things. I love him! |

jamie can sing and act. When I brought his cd I played so many times you wouldn't believe. I always liked jamie when he first appeared on living color. He's also very cute. But who ever didn't buy the album needs to BUY IT NOW. |

Jamie Foxx Cd was REAL good, If you don't have it u need to get it now. I love all of his songs but my favorite songs are:: Do What It Do (That's the best song ever), Can I Take You Home, Get This Money, & Storm. He did a real good job on his cd & i cant wait until his new Cd comes out. |
