Donell Jones - Love Like This
Artist: Donell Jones
Producer: Donell Jones
Album: Lyrics
Label: eOne Music
As those who tuned in for the R&B vet’s first feature, the soulfully apologetic Bad Boy, already know, Donnell Jones isn’t just a skilled crooner; he’s also one hell of a smooth-talker. On his latest single, the Georgia native once again makes full use of his powers of persuasion, telling a hesitant female:”I know you’ve been hurt before, but you’ve never had a Love Like This.” Over his own lush instrumental, featuring steamy keyboard riffs, slow-jam percussion and even a dash of harp, Jones showcases more of the soft vocals that charmed readers back in December of 2009. Though the singer takes a seemingly counterproductive detour into confessional territory around verse two (“I tried to hit every woman that I came in contact with out on the road / but I got that out of my system…” may be honest, but it isn’t exactly confidence-inspiring), the finished product is plenty seductive enough to make up for a little over-sharing. But that’s just my take – what do you think, Booth readers? If you’re digging Jones’ latest effort, you’ll undoubtedly find more to your liking on his Lyrics LP when it hits stores September 28.

We don't get too much original R&B these days (cross-genre collaboration has completely blurred these lines), so I wholly embrace Donell Jones return to our homepage. While I find his earlier material to be much more everlasting and original, "Love Like This" makes up for in execution what it lacks in originality.
Then again - how can you possibly reinvent the "love wheel" in 2010 R&B? Unless you name is Robert Kelly, that is.

Just alright. I think people will rate this one high just because of the previous song. It's just not as groundbreaking though.

That beat's kind of crazy - at first I thought it was going to go on an Indian style, and then by the time the verses hit it's more of a classic r&b cut. As for the vocals, there's really not much to say - Donnell's got an elite voice, and he never tries to do too much with it (I'd compare him to Slim from 112).
We need more quality r&b like this in the world.

That was a hot joint. Im so happy to hear Donell Jones back. It seems like E1 is getting all the old R&B singers and bringing them back. But that's good because we only have a handfull of good R&B male singers out these days.
