A safe space for queer people

Best Night of My Life is the fourth studio album by American actor and R&B singer Jamie Foxx. Promotion started for Best Night Of My Life a little over a year ago when the project was initially titled Body. In terms of singles, Foxx has been hit or miss with this project, drawing positive reviews from the release of “Winner” with Justin Timberlake and T.I. as well as the album’s latest hot single, “Fall For Your Type” with Drake. Beyond that, the album misses its mark more often than it hits it, offering little to be remembered or kept in rotation.

Jamie starts his album with “Best Night of My Life” and it’s the classic R & B type of song about trying to get a girl home. The slow jam “Sleeping Pill” finds Foxx hung over and barely remembering his randy night with a shorty who had her way with him after an Ambien. The fact that Soulja Boy is on “Yep Dat’s Me” speaks to Jamie’s efforts to remain relevant to a younger generation, but the song is really nothing beyond its catchy hook and Luda’s hard-spitting verse. “Freak” (Featuring Rico Love) has an electro-pop feeling and it reminds me of what Diddy is doing right now with Last Train to Paris. Closing the album is All Said And Done, one of the worst offerings on the project. “Sex on the Beach” (bonus track) reminds me of something that would be on the Jersey Shore soundtrack.

On this album, Jamie Foxx isn’t taking his singing career as seriously as he used to. The album is lacking in the big hits department other than “Living Better Now.” There is no “Blame It”, “Gold Digger” or “Unpredictable” on this album. If you want depth from Jamie Foxx, go see one of his movies.
