"TANK- ONE MAN
With the death of Aaliyah Blackground Records biggest draw to consumers is TANK. His first CD "Forces of Nature" was definitely a pleasant surprise. Dude his a talent for slow jams and I was definitely lookin forward to this CD.... The first half of the CD is classic R&B. Great mid tempo and slow jam, Kenny Lattimore smooth love tunes. The second half of this CD is full of Cash Money, Cole Brown silliness. The CD starts good with the lead single "One Man". Track 4 "Supa Sexy" is a nice uptempo happy hour groove. Has some remnants of "Sexual healing" mixed into the cut. Track 5 "My place" might be the best song on the CD. He sings in this cool falsetto voice and the sax solos at the end are tighttttt! Track 7 "Cake and Ice Cream" is a cool cut also. Probably should be his next single. He's singin in like a quick rapid Twista kinda pace and essentially it's about a dude who is successfully maintaining 2 relationships at once. track 8 "Close" is another Tank specialty slow jam. Very sensual jam. track 9 "I'm the reason" goes back to his "Maybe I Deserve" formula of taking the blame for his failed relationships. Track 10 "Make me wanna sing " is a loose remake of Minnie Ripperton's "Lovin U". It features Sparkle and she actually does a good job. It showed some versatility to change that song up a bit without screwin it up royalty. NOW. If the CD stopped here, maybe added another CD filler song I'd say this was a must have CD! BUT NO!... The tracks by themselves are ok. Definitely destroyed by the Baby influence on these tracks. Where was the connection here?? the only track I feel in this mix is a Track 14, "No Why". It's about a dude tryin to get back with his woman after he goes Ike Turner on her. Overall I liked the CD. But he had to mess it up a little bit, had to show his thug side."

Soulful Sound Should Bring Tank from Underground

""One Man" is a Cd with many different faces, featuring producers Black Rob, Mannie Fresh. This Cd blends the soul of Tank with the upbeat "stunna" beats of Cash Money on some of the better tracks, "Let Me Live" and "Party Like a Thug." But don't get it twisted this album is still full of that "Forces of Nature" soul. Tank shows he is "Unpredictable" with these sensual hooks, and "lines" that could get even the weakest guy in the club a girl. Perhaps the best track being "My Place" where you hear the sensational voice of Tank at its best. All in all, "One Man" stems far from the sensational first single, and branches out into a great CD."

What are you waiting for?

"If you don't have the cd by now, get it already! It's wonderful! It's everything you were feeling and couldn't put into words. If you like some real singing, creativity, great songs and heart-felt lyrics, then you need this album in your collection. If you don't like it, then you just can't be pleased!"
