From his tough-guy countenance in ONE MAN's album art to the heavy-duty beats on each track, its plain that Tank aligns himself strongly with hip-hop, but he's no rapper. Rather, he's a modern-day R&B Love Man. He even goes so far as to quote the master Marvin Gaye's "Sexual Healing" on "Supa Sexy." Like Gaye, he's got a smooth, supple tenor whose gentle, crooning quality seems ostensibly at odds with the unabashed carnality of his subject matter. Of course, that's just what supplies the necessary contrast and tension that keep things interesting throughout the album. And when it comes to fixation on getting down and dirty, Tank is perhaps even more single-minded than Marvin, as in the seductive "My Place" and the mission statement of "One Man."

I'm Only One Man! "...I'm only One Man...
A walk in the park
Or late night TV
I'm a kind of simple man
I need you to understand
A car and a dog
An apartment uptown
I don't have much but me
But I'd give it all it we could be
Girl, I'm only one man
Doin' what I can
To give you everything you need
To be everything that I can be...", so he says and i agree!
This album has all the good songs on it and you will appreciate the music, especially with so many sell-outs in industry today. He has a nice smooth voice and this album is among my best collections! Submitted by 01097613 (Sydney, AUS) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
