A delightful release from this young man. An excellent debut album. However, there are too many people who are saying that it's original and that he's got his own unique style and voice. I could not disagree more... I think his age is a great factor of his popularity, it's amazing that he's a mere 15. However, I think he focuses too much on the fact that he's 15!! He mentions it in too many songs. He doesn't need to play the age factor because I think he's in the same league as the best in his game. I refer to RL, Case, Ginuwine, JOE, R Kelly etc... I guess his record company wanted to play the age factor as there hasn't been someone of this age who has come up with an album as superb as this since Tevin Campbell. As I kept listening to his album, it's obvious that his voice and style are a cross between Ginuwine and JOE. So I guess, it's not as original as most of U felt. It's also reminisant of the younger Usher and Tevin Campbell... Still, it's a great album and worth getting, if U dig the other artists I mentioned in the review. Alicia Keys also contributes in the production of the album. How could he go wrong.... 5 stars and no less. Look out for this man!! My personal favourites are "Could U be", "What your name is", "Braid My Hair", "Just Friends 2002"!!!
