200
MOST RECOMMENDED ALBUMS

#62
FUTURESEX / LOVESOUNDS:
  JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE
 A picture of a young man who wears a suit while crushing a disco ball. The background is gray and in the middle are the words 'Justin' (written in black) and 'Timberlake' (written in orange), while under them is 'FutureSex/LoveSounds' in niances of gray.
 [2006] 
Justin Timberlake finally dropped his second studio album 'Futuresex / Lovesounds' in 2006, 4 years after his debut release. JT wisely avoided the temptation of repeating himself and playing it safe. Instead, the popular performer delivered surprises. His first album evoked Michael Jackson. For his sophomore release he drew inspiration from Prince. This gives the track listing a retro feel, but the music is also infused with a contemporary electro production. The influence of Timbaland and Rick Rubin as producers is key here. Lead single "SexyBack" announced the new album would sound different from its predecessor. There are some weak lyrical moments, but the album never repeats itself. The songs here justify Timberlake's deserved place among the A-league of pop artists.
Highiight tracks: Damn Girl; What Goes Around... Comes Around; SexyBack & LoveStoned/ IThink She Knows (Interlude).

ACOUSTIC SOUL:  INDIA.ARIE
IndiaArieAcousticSoul.jpg
 [2001] 
India.Arie broke through with 'Acoustic Soul', a stunning debut set, introducing audiences to her fresh neo-soul. She is keenly aware of the R&B traditions that paved the way for her, citing her influences during the track list. This nod to the legacy of soul legends such as Sam Cooke and Marvin Gaye complements her own musical context. India.Arie's vocal skills helped keep Motown relevant to the evolution of R&B. She has a hand in writing the tracks on the album. Lyrics come to the forefront on "Video". "Brown Skin" celebrates her culture. She is at her most vulnerable on the utterly beautiful "Ready For Love". "Wonderful" pays tribute to her musical hero Stevie Wonder. 'Acoustic Soul' is an easy album to relax and listen to.
Highiight tracks: Ready For Love; Brown Skin & Video.
