Classic Donell, but not quite as good as his first...

This album is classic Donell jones, but "where I wanna be" it definately is not. Don't get me wrong, the general feel is pretty familiar, but the overall finished product doesn't have as cohesive a feel as the first album. This one is definately worth purchasing though.

Donell Jones - Journey Of A Gemini
Rating (4)
Date: 2008-04-15
I dont really know how to go about this review. Because, in order for me to be honest, i would have to say this album was a dissapointment. But at the same time, i dont wanna give people the wrong impression about this album because it is still a good album. It's just this... after the legendary Life Goes On album, plus a four year hiatus, i guess i was hoping for another Life Goes On album. But i got more of another Where I Wanna Be album instead, which is still a very good album, just not legendary. Pretty much, similar to Where I Wanna Be, this album has its ups and downs. The first thing i noticed with Journey of A Gemini, is its a much more up tempo album than any of his other albums. Theres alot less ballads on this album, which is good and bad. Donell Jones has been, and always will be one of my favorite artists, and on songs like the Underdogs produced mid tempo ballad "Cuttin Me Off" he really shows why he is one of the most underated R&B singers of our time. Another great song is the first single "Better Start Talking"... How was this song not a huge radio smash? Its an up tempo party song. Another great song is the more mellow slow jam "My Apology" where Donell apologizes for not being there for his girl. But the one thing this album is missing that all the other albums had, is the sexy baby maker! I was irrate when i listened to the whole album and did not find one baby maker. Thats the area that Donell is best at to, so i was really surprised at that. The only song that was really even close to a babymaker is the Underdogs produced "Ohh Na Na" which is a great song, but i don't picture it as a baby maker. One thing that i do think would have made this album a little better is if he would have put the song "Make Me Say" on the track listing but i heard he cut it last minute due to a track cut by the label. But overall this album is definetly worth buying and it is another great addition to Donell's already great catalog, but just dont set your bar as high as i did for it, because i guess you can't really expect an artist to have two legendary albums in a row!

my boy has done it again i am completely satisfied with his latest cd. although i fell the cd doesnt get as much as promo as it deserve any true music fan should have this one in their collection. with songs like "my apology" and "cant wait" this is a most definately a hit. im surprised more people dont know about donell jones as far as most know is "where i wanna be" but his music goes much deeoer than that...if you dont know you BETTER START TALKING and find out what a real r n b sounds like not that garbage you hear on the radio.

Donell Jones was always a gifted singer even though his first album My Heart was a soso effort. Albums like Where I Wanna Be and Life Goes On show that Donell Jones gets better with time. The first single Better Start Talking is good but it is not as spectacular as Im Gonna Be(the remix with Clipse is a nice touch too)and it does not have the replay value that Im Gonna Be does. Other standout tracks are My Apology, Portrait Of A Woman, Cry, Feelin You(Darkchild better watch his back because Tim and Bob might give him a run for his money with production like this), Cant Wait, Spend The Night, If You Want(great duet with Bun B), Cuttin Me Off and Another Life. Skip material: Special Girl is not a garbage record but it is inferior to the other songs on this album. Bottom Line: Journey Of A Gemini is Donell Jones's best album and is one of the best R&B albums of 2006. The smooth production, the soulful singing by Donell and songs like Im Gonna Be, Cry, My Apology, Portrait Of A Woman etc make this album a worthwhile experience. Donell Jones is in a class by himself.
