This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. Jon B. could sing a dog off a meat truck with that smooth set of pipes,and sexy "Come on, make my bed" attitude. But as writer, producer and multi-instrumentalist, Jon B. proves he's more than just a pretty voice. COOL RELAX, the well developed follow-up to his debut album BONAFIDE, essays love in all it's familiar forms; sensual, ideal, joyful, hurtful, and above all, necessary. His voice, sweet, sinuous, and seductive, paints a perfect picture over a clean, uncluttered canvas highlighted by a pleasingly funky acoustic guitar and strong, no-bull bass grooves. These "ballads with a backbone" betray his allegiance to the classic soul sounds which he has adroitly woven into his slick, contemporary arrangements. This disc boasts "Pride and Joy," a beautiful Babyface composition (no surprise; Jon B. is clearly a disciple), rapping and production by Tupac Shakur on "Are you still Down", vocal collaborations with K.C. and JoJo from Jodeci; even some percussion by Shiela E. This CD moves neatly from the car to the bouduoir. But don't let his macho mien and carnal come-on fool you.. he's got a soul even your mama could love! | Find errors in the product description?

Reviews This Cd is 4th on my list of good singers for the past.This Cd is great for those days when you want to spend time with that special person in your life. Review ID: 10000000006199822 Was this review helpful? Report this review For all the critics of blue-eyed soul, don't say~~ what you won't love! Jon B is a favorite of mine. This is without a doubt his best collections of songs ever. It's a mixture of the deep lyrical prose he's famous for, fused with the pure seduction of good ole R&B. With help from the great Babyface to additions from the engaging and talented Tupac Shakur, Jon B. brings you his own style of Quiet Storm which will surely become a classic.
