    Songz isn't doing anything new, but when he's still delivering music this high quality it really doesn't matter that much.

    While the 70-minute disc could use editing, it does showcase his versatility and lithe vocals.

    Ultimately though, this one is a step up, its maker beginning to lean towards representing the sentiments of the men he stands for, developing a voice currently missing in RnB.

    "Playin' Hard" and "Fumble," introspective and self-critical, are two of the album's most resonant songs and provide more depth, even though the sentiments are probably fleeting.

    Indeed much of Chapter V finds him going about that business as determinedly as an infantryman.

    Sprinkled with sorry ballads containing about as much sincerity as a daytime soap.

    I did not love this, but it was actually alright. Personally, I recommend checking out "Heart Attack", "2 Reasons", "Pretty Girl's Lie", "BadI did not love this, but it was actually alright.

Better than what I expected, though.… Full Review »
