This album was nothing new when I bought it because I had already heard most of the tracks on the internet. I liked the music so much that I decided to add it to my collection.
I listen to this album a lot now, and it is one of my favorite albums. Every track on this album compliments each other and it seems that there is no filler on this track list. The arrangements; the vocals; the lyrics. They are all molded into a soul/pop masterpiece. Each track deserves its own recognition:
Faith (5/5): This track is very simple, but it is also very enjoyable. It has a great guitar rhythm and a hook that is really catchy.
Father Figure (5/5): This is one of my favorite tracks. Even though the lyrics may point towards a more discretionary and inappropriate affair, I think it is a work of art and fits this album perfectly. It has a way of showing that love can be dark and misunderstood and it matches the theme of the album. It has religious allusions in the title, but it goes on to a more human experience.
I want your sex (Part 1&2) (4/5): This track s fun. You can dance to it. It also maintains a subtle theme in the album, "I don't need a bible, just look in my eyes." Its a clever, catchy6 song with some new instruments brought in like horns to give it more of a funk feel. I like it, but it is not one of my favorites on the album.
One more try (5/5): I'll admit, this track took a couple of times to get into it. It seemed to be the same, mellow and repetitive melody and vocals. After awhile though, I actually found it a really great track. The lyrics are so powerful here. listen to feel the sadness and request for redemption for yourself.
Hard day (3/5): I like this song a lot. On itunes I tend to put it on playlists, but sometimes it throws me off when I listen to the full album. It just didn't seem to have many themes of religious allusions and topics that made the album really worth listening to as a whole.
Look at your hands (5/5): I feel that this is a very underrated track. It is my second favorite on the album. It has this nice ambient feel and the vocals are soft yet outstanding, in my opinion.
Monkey (4/5): If you can get past the corny hook, than it is actually a really fun track. I really like the version on the music video, but this was different on the album. Nonetheless, great track. Having a "monkey on your back" means to me that there is a person who has an addiction (whether it be drugs or a lover) and though this monkey is harmful, the attention that it demands is given.
Kissing a fool (5/5): I can't even begin to describe my admiration for this track. IT is my favorite. The lyrics, the music, and the vocals: it is all perfect. The track maintains this lovely melody throughout and then it picks up and takes you up, but just as it does, it settles you back down. Everything seems timed so precisely. It is a very good track and even of you don't buy the album (which you should do), at least get this track. You won't regret it.
Hard day (2/5): I could handle the track once, and I don't mind it. Two times though? As I said, good song to shuffle in a playlist, but in this album it just gets repetitive and awkward because it just doesn't fit with the rest of the tracks well. It isn't a bad remix though there are not many differences from the original.
I want your sex (part 3) (4/5): It wasn't a bad way to end the album. It is more subtle and sensual than parts 1 and 2. Its actually a pretty good track. Its also good that parts 1&2 and 3 were separated because it could have gotten very boring, but they avoided the problem well.
Overall, it is a great album. I really enjoy it, and I recommend it to anyone who likes pop/soul music.
