Review of New Man - Joe

'My Name Is Joe Thomas'

Advantages: slow tracks, upbeat tracks, good lyrics, great soundtracks, good number of tracks
Disadvantages: None

'Joe Thomas' is the seventh album from American RnB artist Joe released in September 2008. I have been a huge fan of this artist for many years and have always known him as 'Joe' so I did a little digging on this album and found that his full name is indeed 'Joe Lewis Thomas' and this is his self-titled album after so many years and after 6 other great albums..

Back to 'Joe Thomas', the album has a great selection of tracks; the more popular ones being 'E.R' which was released as the main single off the album. It is a smooth RnB track with an upbeat slightly paced track so you can dance ...

They kick the album off with the best tune on the whole thing, which takes from "Frere Jacque", and adapts this to some brass work before the tune breaks out into a big Funk recording to show exactly what they are about, and what the music is likely to contain as you go through it. **Five Stars** 2. ?If This Room Could Talk? The lively riffs which you hear in this one have the high energy level maintained, and from here you have them take it to a lot less ...
