Album Reviews
Subtitled: "50 Ways to Tell Your Lover You're Leaving." This Grammy-winning R&B songstress kicks off her second album with two words: "It's over." And just in case her ex didn't catch that, she spends the next 11 tracks telling him "it's not working anymore," "just say goodbye" and, simply, "I'm done." But as pianos flutter and faint bass lines pulse in these sultry mid-tempo gentlemen's ballads — written and co-produced by Ne-Yo, who also guests on "What You Do" — she makes those kiss-offs go down easy: You can imagine her lighting aromatherapy candles and cooing in her best Billie Holiday voice, Get the hell out of my house. With breakup songs this romantic, who needs love?
