Music reviews of Where I Wanna Be

Music Review: Jill
Rating: 5 Stars

The best sounding CD to put anybody in the mood is about an R&B album that came out in 1999, and the name of the artist is Donell Jones. The title of the CD is Where I Wanna Be. This CD is telling a story about the things that he went through in his life. A person could listen to every song on this album without skipping a song. The majority of the album talks about love and heart break. What makes this album so strong are the lyrics and beat. Another detail about this album is that he uses great emotion and the right notes to make the song sound so emotional when he sings. Finally this CD should be important to all females as well as males. The quality of the CD is important because people can listen to it from beginning to end.
The lyrics from this album are very strong, because Donell talks about things that have happened to him. The third song on the album is called "Where I Wanna Be," the album title. This song talks about how he does not want to break his girlfriend's heart by cheating on her. He is saying that the temptations he faces seeing other females is strong and that he is trying his best not to cheat on his girlfriend. Donell is saying that he loves her, and that he will never do anything to hurt her, that is why he needs some space away from her for a while and has to be alone. He loves this girl with all his heart and he has been with her since they were teenagers. The lust he has for other females is so strong that he has to get away and think about his relationship with her, or does he just want to hang out with different girls. Another song is called is called "I Wanna Luv U". This song talks about how much he loves and how his girl always lifts his spirits whenever she is around. In addition, Donell is stating that he wants to be with her for all time, because she is the only one for him. The song also states that when he is feeling down that he can always count on her to be there for him and he is going to be there for her. The beats for these songs are very mellow and soft. The music is mellow and soft, because all of the songs are slow and Donell takes his time singing the songs. In addition, people can here every word he has to say clearly. Every song on this CD has a beat that will just put a person in a calm relaxed mood.
Donell Jones uses great emotion in his songs. When he sings it is as if he people can really feel what he is talking about. In a song on his album called "This Luv", he is saying that he is ready to give his love to someone and he does not want her to like him just because he has money. He wants this girl to like him for who he is outside of the music business. He wants someone who he can depend on and who can trust him when he is out on tour. The way he gets dramatic on some notes people should just be able to feel what he is talking about. A sentence that he says in this song that should hit every girl (All this love is meant for you so do not pass it up cause you'll regret it boo I've been patiently waiting to her from you because you've gotta be the one girl you've gotta be the one yea yea yea), and the way he sings this verse is used with so much emotion that every girl should try to give this guy a chance. In conclusion, the notes, and words that he uses are very smooth and make his words flow, and should put every girl in a calm relaxed mood.
The quality of this CD is very good because it is not every day that a person can buy a CD and listen to it the whole way through. These days some artists put out their one song that is a complete hit, but when people buy and listen to the rest of the CD it is completely garbage. Every song on this album is just really good, because the artist is actually talking about real life situations and what it is like to lose someone. Females love a CD like this because for the most part females are very mellow and laid back and want to listen to something they can relate to. Also the mellow part of the album can make a person feel relaxed and just want to chill. Finally, most females have gone through some kind of heartbreak in their lives, and they can relate to what Donell is saying in his songs. Many people did not take this album seriously, and it did not do as well as it should have.
Donell has very well written lyrics. He uses good projection in his song and great emotion, because he knows how to stress different words in the songs that he thinks should have more focus. This album should have received a Grammy, or some sort of major award because it is a very good album. The CD did receive awards for some of the songs that were aired, but the entire CD should have been awarded for the quality. If the critics had listened to this album carefully and listened to his words, then they would have given it ten thumbs up instead of just two.

Description of Where I Wanna Be

There's a whole slew of R&B fans who fiend for D'Angelo, because he doesn't sound like your run-of-the-mill soul smoothie, and flashes of uniqueness are what keeps many of the slew from slitting their throats in frustration over the everyday ho-hum state of affairs. Enter singer-songwriter Donell Jones, whose second effort asks the question "What makes a hit?" The answer is his single "U Know What's Up": hooks upon hooks, a catchy melody and a sexy but low-key vibe, put together in a way that's more than just retro-trendy. The rest of the Where I Wanna Be is classy and idiosyncratic without being too artsy--a perfect buy if you need a break from all the preening and smoke blowing that's all too common. --Amy Linden
