Naked 2005 Album

Marques Houston

This is better than his debut. Being shorter aides its consistency. It's lows aren't as low and the highs are arguably better than anything on 'MH', although I'd maybe understand you shouting out, "What about 'That Girl'!". As with his debut, the weaker moments are when Marques moves out of his lane and gets more into the club R&B tracks. Here the Joe Budden assisted '12 O'clock' is the weakest moment. The pop rap song, 'I Like It', featuring an average rap feature, is another I won't be rushing back to. R&B vet, Tank, is involved in two of the best moments, with Tank credited as a writer on 'Sex Wit You' and 'Naked' with The Underdogs producing. A light 3.5/5. Best Tracks: Sex Wit You, Naked, I Wasn't Ready, Everything
