    I did not love this, but it was actually alright. Personally, I recommend checking out "Heart Attack", "2 Reasons", "Pretty Girl's Lie", "Bad Decisions", "Check Me Out", and "Almost Lose It", but otherwise, you can probably just skip the other tracks. Better than what I expected, though.

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

    Chapter V is full of big ballads and bigger club beats that take dead aim at the pop mainstream.

    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.
