Donell Jones - Bad Boy
Artist: Donell Jones
Producer: Donell Jones and Fish & Chips
Album: The Lost Files
Label: eOne Music
Georgia R&B singer Donell Jones may be a Bad Boy, but he certainly knows how to get back in his girl’s good graces. If he strays from the straight and narrow, a smooth musical apology like this unreleased cut (the artist’s first featured track, although he stepped into the Booth for an interview way back in 2006) is a surefire way to jump-start the healing process. Accompanied by his and co-producer Fish & Chips’ light, sunny, acoustic-guitar riffs and muted keyboard, the currently-independent singer showcases his passionate yet subdued vocal stylings, acknowledging his wrongdoing and swearing a solemn oath that, “I’m gonna do you right this time.” It certainly sounds sincere, but can a born Bad Boy like Donell Jones truly change his ways? Personally, I’m hoping not – if he screws up again, we just might get a sequel! In any case, listeners digging this track can hear more on The Lost Files, a compilation of new/unreleased material dropped November 24 and available now from online retailers.

Man, its good to hear from Donell! Just a few years back he was in the upper tier of R&B artists and than POOF I didn't see or hear anything from him until just last week. Glad he reached out with some "new" unreleased music. "Bad Boy" is not classic Jones, but it does show off his skills. Hopefully this is the first of many new features to come...

Where in the world was Donell Jones?! He didn't skip a beat with this one, wonderfully smooth and I love the guitar rift on the production. This was fire, can't wait to hear more.

I don't ever remember hearing this guy before, but I was very impressed with this. The production, with the guitar in it, was sweet. And Donell sounded really good.

The acoustic vibe on this seals the deal, along with Donell's classically smooth vocals - he sounds like Robin Thicke if Robin Thicke could actually sing. If you like quality music you've got to like this.

Now THIS is a solid RnB track! It`s definitely more upbeat and snappy compared to his previous stuff, but it`s nice to hear something like this. I still think he needs a good breakout record though.

Hadn't heard from Donell in a long minute. He's still got it. Nothing like a bad boy asking for his woman to understand. This goes in rotation.
