Title: What????
Review: I recently purchased this cd based on a review I read in a music magazine. They gave it the "thumbs up". I anticipated some great music in the vein of Angie Stone, Pru Renfro, Joe, et al. I can't for the life of me figure out what they were listening to! This cd offers nothing to promote it other than the fact Mr. Simmonds wrote or co-wrote every song on the cd. His voice here is not remarkable in any setting he presents, the songs are dull, the playing is uninspired. In addition to the aforementioned shortcomings, there is a sameness to every song on this disk. Not just because the same person wrote each song, but more so because Mr. Simmonds lacks objectivity in his work and he either did not seek outside input or ignored the input given. Skip this cd; maybe next time or check him out in another setting doing someone else's music. He could be a great R&B singer.
