    It sounds like a collection of random one-offs rather than an album. Foxx's voice, falsetto and all, still sounds lovely, but he seems unsure exactly how he should use it.

    His fifth album balances bumptious party fare (the Pharrell-produced "Tease," the Eighties R&B glide "Baby's in Love") with dark-tinted slow jams.

    Hollywood offers few surprises, leaving listeners with memorable hooks and impressive sonics but little information about the man at the center of it all.

    Much of the production on Hollywood is swampy, but it’s a digital swamp. Mr. Foxx’s voice is slathered with so many effects that he veers toward anonymity.

    That material ["Like A Drum"], as well as much of what surrounds it, is significantly less substantive than the singer's past work.
