The American R&B artist Ginuwine (real name: Elgin Lumpkin) broke through with us with the nice singles Pony and Same Ol 'G. The first two albums Ginuwine The Bachelor and 100% Ginuwine also stood out, partly because producer Timbaland made them less predictable. than most R&B albums. For his third album Ginuwine decided to try it without Timbaland, but that could turn out to be a big mistake.
Most of the songs on The Life sound boring and uninspired. He twists his smooth voice in all kinds of corners, but it doesn't warm us. In addition, Ginuwine has dropped his tough (macho) image and now sounds more like the world's first R&B crooner. Two Reasons I Cry is moving, dedicated to his parents, who died shortly after each other. One of the other rare highlights on The Life is the funky That's How I Get Down, a duet with rapper Ludacris. And that song was produced by Timbaland. (MvP)more
