In the world of multifaceted talents, there are few entertainment powerhouses that have been as commercially successful as Jamie Foxx. As a comedian, actor, music producer, and singer, he has acquired Academy and Grammy awards and placed himself among the industry’s elite. With Best Night of My Life Foxx carries on his tradition of vocal abilities and continues to try his hand at self-producing some of his songs.
Jamie excels at versatility on his latest LP, offering up club tracks, Hip Hop features to appeal to the Rap demographic, songs for the lovers, and tunes for pained hearts. While this is a plus in the sense that it will appeal to many different tastes, it’s also a detriment to the project since a listener’s own personal taste or mood will most likely cause them to have a few tracks that they won’t mind skipping. The star of the show is the radio friendly, Drake-assisted “Fall For Your Type” 
, produced by Noah “40” Shebib. The drum-heavy slow jam sees Jamie wondering why he always places a little bit of hope into the same type of woman, despite the fact that he always gets hurt, as Drake comes in with his signature sing-songy rap to back up Foxx’s point.
Listeners looking for something a little more fast paced to dance to will take pleasure in tracks like “Freak,” featuring Grammy Award-winning Rico Love, and “Yep Dats Me” , featuring Ludacris and Soulja Boy. The former has an infectious, Electro-Pop feel to it, laden with synths as a backdrop for the duo’s search for a kinky-minded woman. “Yep Dats Me” has a distinctive Southern feel to it, and understandably so considering the features employed for the project. The track seems dedicated to the “oh, you fancy huh?” type ladies in the club, and Luda comes through with some much appreciated bars to counter the Soulja Boy hook as he spits lines such as, “That’s me up in that drop top, yeah you know I’m flexin’ / Yeah I’m comin’ suited and booted like I’m the X-Men / Night crawlin’ Luda, cruising in that Maybach / I’m comin’ down the street up in the Kawasaki 1400, lookin’ like Cyclops.”
Additional lyrical features from Wiz Khalifa, Rick Ross, and T.I. may prove enough to garner interest in Best Night of My Life from Rap fans, and the album offers up undeniably solid R&B music. With tracks like “15 Minutes” to slow things down for those romantic moments, and an upbeat song such as “All Said And Done” to keep things moving along at a decent pace, Jamie Foxx’s LP is a pleasant addition to the current R&B landscape.
The album just flows..you can just put is on and let it play. Get 3 copies and one for the crib, the car and one just to let folks listen to if they are doubting getting the cd. The album is just as good as Unpredictable period.
No thanks. I think this is Jamie’s worst album that he has put out. A few good tracks but everything else is generic as can be. Fail.
you obviously don’t get pussy or like women smh
@Stimpy
That has to do what with his opinion?? Fucking clown. Just cuz you like eating dicks for breakfast. Album is garbage.
as much as i think Jamie is an arrogant prick, the dude is talented as hell. I’m actually hoping he somehow wins an Emmy and a Tony award so he can be like Tracy Jordan and rock a E.G.O.T. chain (30 Rock reference).
In Living Color Jamie > Jamie singing with Drake.
cool
is their a more overrated entertainer than jamie fox? sure he can act and sing, but is very mediocre at both. Not as funn as martin, and not as goot an actor as denzel, despite what he thinks.His songs are good, but peopel act liek he’s singing like jaheim or tyrese or something. dude is a C list talent whose lived of the Ray hype far too long.
LOL.
LOL!
I will disagree; Jamie is a fantastic actor and a hilarious comedian – not as funny as Martin? You’re crazy. Go youtube some of Jamie’s stand up – you’ll die!
His singing is good but he is not unique nor anything to listen to as he sounds like 1000 other people. He needs to go back to his comedic and acting roots.
J.
i think he’s a better actor overall, his comedy ain’t all that.
You don’t know what you’re talking about… I am your conscience.
would give it 3.5….solid but i still love his first album
good shit
hot stuff
I wonder if Braxton jams this shit…
Jamie is doing what everyone else should be, do them and staying in their lane and collaborating when comfortable. I bet you he made half this album at his house.
Garbage. 0 stars.
Love the album, and “Fall For Your Type” is my favorite song on it, so I’m stoked the video is so dope. I entered the contest he’s doing where you can win a VIP trip for two to Miami, all you gottta do is like his facebook page haha that’d be pretty sick.
jamie can make some cool slow jams im not gonna hate on his music career , not a pop fan though . some wack songs too
couple ok songs
not feeling this album at all
i thought the album was good. yeah it was alittle different than what reguarly do, but i still loved the album.
