(31 Customer Reviews)
Jamie Foxx's second release as a solo artist is his first since his Oscar-winning portrayal of Ray Charles in the 2004 film RAY. It is natural, then, that UNPREDICTABLE would be a much higher-profile affair than 1994's PEEP THIS. The production credits include top-currency names like Timbaland and Sean Garrett. And guest stars? Forget about it. Common, Ludacris, Twista, Snoop Dogg, and Mary J. Blige, just to name a few, make appearances and help boost Foxx's credibility as one of the most popular kids on the block.
Foxx's music falls firmly into the category of sultry, hip-hop-inflected R&B a la R. Kelly. And like Kels, Foxx too has a penchant for bedroom themes, as UNPREDICTABLE pulses with the rhythm of sex. His study of Ray Charles's bluesy, elastic vocal style holds him in good stead, though: Foxx has an authoritative delivery on both uptempo grooves ("Warm Bed") and slinky slow jams ("VIP"). While not exactly groundbreaking, the album--with its superior production, excellent guest spots, and Foxx's impressive performances--still comes off a winner.

Never Predicted Yo, Many might say that Jamie Foxx is a moocher riding on the coat tail of the Box Hit "Ray"...Some might say that he is just another actor/comedian tryna make a lil more dough. Please dont underestimate this CD, Jamie Foxx is truly Unpredictable. From the slow melodic tunes of R&B to the Hip Hop Sounds that make you bounce to the beat, this CD is truly worth it!

Purchase Unpredictable CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | VH1 Presents The Corrs Live In Dublin CD (2002)
Unpredictable album
$6.39 This audio document of The Corrs' Dublin homecoming concert has pretty much everything fans of Irish pop could wish for, including an appearance from Bono in his earthly incarnation, fresh from an audience with President George W. Bush. It's to the band's credit that the charismatic singer fails to steal the show, despite creditable efforts via an anthemized version of Ryan Adams' beautifully downtempo "When the Stars Go Blue," and a great, leering rendition of Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra's "Summer Wine."
Somewhat more mysteriously, Rolling Stone Ron Wood also turns ...
| | John Legend Get Lifted CD (2004)
Unpredictable CD music
$9.59 Six years after cutting his musical teeth as a teen, tickling the ivories on the classic Lauryn Hill single "Everything Is Everything," John Stephens popped up everywhere in 2004, going by the bold name of John Legend. His ubiquity was unsurprising, since he was taken under the wing of Kanye West, the year's breakout success, who tabbed Legend "the future of hip-hop." It's an interesting label for a man whose elegant voice and schooled songwriting conjures up Bill Withers and Al Green, but sometimes the future intersects with the past in a manner transcending revival.
Legend drops his debut, GET LIFTED, into the center of the neo-soul universe, and it's a charming, earnest record. Sometimes he dives into a contemporary slow jam, as on "Let's Get Lifted;" other times he finds a groove the Delfonics would be proud of, as on the West-driven "Number One." On the gently gorgeous "Ordinary People, " however, it's just the man and his piano. Whether he's truly the future direction of any genre or not, Legend is an artist to watch, and ...
| | Keyshia Cole Way It Is CD (2005)
Unpredictable music CDs
$11.05 Far from the usual fizzy pop practiced by contemporaries like Beyonce and Kelis, the debut album from Oakland-born singer/songwriter Keyshia Cole is full of sophisticated, adult R&B that bridges the gap between the neo-soul likes of Alicia Keys and the inspired, kinetic hip-hop of Kanye West. Keys and West both guest here, ...
| | Mary J Blige Breakthrough CD (2005)
Unpredictable songs
$10.49 The album's lead-off single, "Be Without You," a bittersweet slow jam, is representative of the album's themes, which focus on feelings of strength and weakness in love. But whether waxing romantic ("Can't Get Enough") or detailing the travails of the heart ("Baggage"), Blige lays down elastic R&B vocal lines that are second to none. Even a seemingly unlikely duet with Bono and U2 on "One" comes ...
| | Anthony Hamilton Ain't Nobody Worrying CD (2005)
Unpredictable album
$9.59 After the success of his 2003 album, COMIN' FROM WHERE I'M FROM, R&B/soul singer Anthony Hamilton followed up in earnest during 2005, first with a collection of previously unreleased tunes, SOULIFE, and then with another new studio record, AIN'T NOBODY WORRYIN'. This latter disc truly solidifies Hamilton's sterling reputation; it's an utterly confident outing that nods to 1970s soul music without being beholden to the style of that era. In fact, Hamilton's deft balancing of both vintage soul and contemporary production ...

| | Zolar X Timeless CD (2004)
Unpredictable album
$12.95 Bands that didn't get their due when they were active are usually described as "flying below radar," but in the case of Zolar X, it's more accurate to say they soared above it -- that's where the trajectory of these Los Angeles glam aspirants was aiming. They were wrapped in a bubblegum cosmology that owed as much to Sid & Marty Krofft as it did to Ziggy Stardust, and they framed themselves with a unified "look" much like the Ramones would a few years later and a million miles away, Zolar X had stylish bleached locks accented with antennae, freakish space costumes and appropriately interstellar names like Zory Zenith and Ygarr Ygarrist. Zolar X were supreme space rock mythologists with one thumb out in the cosmos, hoisting a tattered "anywhere but here" sign hoping to hitch the next rocket flight to rock & roll superstardom. That they didn't become rock stars isn't a total surprise, Zolar's theatrical take on rock was fading from favor with the Los Angeles public in the light of disco's mirrored ball. Out of step with the times they may have been, but the songs collected on Timeless sound completely in tune with the high-energy ...
