Forever in a Day 2009 Album

Day26

Day26 are from Diddy's talent search TV show, 'Making the Band'. The 4 boys can sing with one reminding me somewhat of Usher. The opener is helped by its hook to make it worth a listen. 'The Imma Put It on Her' only has the hook going for it. Diddy doesn't help it by 'rapping' a verse using it to advertise and the same can be said for Yung Joc, minus the advertising. The following 'Shawty Wats Up' featuring T-Pain (off course he is here, it was 2008!) is one of the worst songs here. So, this isn't a great start. Thankfully it starts to get better. The gods of R&B production, Tim & Bob, contribute to the ballad, 'Think of Me', that is the best song here. It features a dope chorus and some progression and variety in production throughout the song. 'Stadium Music' amps it back up for some more upbeat R&B and is forgettable. 'Bipolar' doesn't have very exciting verses, but like the first couple of songs, has a fire hook, actually even better than them, so it means it's not bad. 'Perfectly Blind' is the slowest song and doesn't have a catchy hook to save it this time. It's kind of nice and vibey though. Some will enjoy it more than me. Then for much of the remaining songs we are mostly given slow jamz with a number of very good moments that are listed below, again with some dope choruses. The better upbeat tune appears as well thanks to 'Need That' being a toe tapping tune. It's an inconsistent project but the strong moments are very good and it has a number of production touches that take me back the mid-late '00s in R&B. 'Babymaker' has a similar start to Bow Wow's 'Shortie Like Mine' and 'Bipolar' has the same sample as Nas' 'Hero'. Its worth checking out even if there are some skips to be had.
