    He's keen to please, but what's remarkable about The Lady Killer is that he manages to avoid all the bubblebath boudoir-soul cliches that litter most R&B albums.

    Lady Killer both honors and tweaks the tropes of vintage songcraft with hefty doses of sweet Motown/Stax 
 boogie, a smattering of Curtis Mayfield superfly, and imaginary theme songs for James Bond.

    Although it's hardly Green's fault, Mark Ronson's retro-soul ubiquity makes this record sound less fresh than it otherwise might have. [Jan 2011, p.86]

    Way overplayed, and the songs that are overplayed ("F**k You, and Bright Lights, Bigger City) just plainly suck. There is absolutly nothing catchy about this album. The songs dont even deserve to be on the Bubbling Under The Hot 100, or the album dont derserve to be on the Billboard 200. Would be in the top 10 worst albums ever, and several songs on the top 10 worst songs ever for me… Expand
