Bridges 2014 Album

Joe

From the jump, this one feels like Joe went down the R. Kelly lane of some throwback R&B, like he did with the albums 'Love Letter' and 'Write Me Back'. It's a step up from his last album, 'Doubleback: Evolution of R&B', with it just being at a higher consistent level throughout the album. The best songs have strong replay value, are scattered, adding to the album's replayability, and feature a number of different sounds. There is more general R&B, that Joe is known for, like on 'Dilemma', as mentioned, there are throwback themes heard on 'Future Teller' and 'Sex Ain't a Weapon', strong soul songs that build up nicely such as 'Till the Rope Gives Way', and upbeat, dance, disco-esque songs like 'Love Sex Hollywood'. Upon revisiting it for this list the album was better than I remembered it being. Best Tracks: Future Teller, Dilemma, Sex Ain't a Weapon, Blame Her Broken Heart on Me, Till the Rope Gives Way, For Love
