Though Jamie Foxx has been enjoying a high-charting hot streak with moderate hit Just Like Me and its immensely successful follow-up, Blame It (Remix), longtime have begun to worry that he’s abandoned his soulful sound to chase pop success.  These devotees will be glad to hear that, on the latest single, Jamie has struck a perfect balance between mainstream appeal and classic soul. Being a household name, he knows that groupie love is like “a glass of hot water in the desert” or “a snow machine on the North Pole”; in other words, he responds to the relentless come-ons with a simple, “I Don’t Need It.”  Singing in a style reminiscent of his Oscar-winning Ray Charles portrayal, Jamie is backed by the percussion-heavy beat and background vocals of superproducer Timbaland.  A record with potential to become Foxx’ biggest crossover hit yet, I Don’t Need It can be found on junior album Intuition (out now).

This track definitely had a good balance of soul and mainstream pop/club appeal. I enjoyed it. Jamie sounded good over Timbaland's production. Rotation.

Not as strong as I would expect from a Foxx/Timbo collabo. This may be a moderate hit but will be pale in comparison to the smash "Blame It". It's in rotation.

"I Don't Need It" compliments Jamie's previous three singles perfectly. From the gecko, the track's production has Timbo written all over it. Jamie's vintage, old school performance over the song's modern tempo went together well (the reoccurring horns fitted in nicely). Cool fourth single since nothing from "Intuition" is going to top "Blame It"!

This was my favorite track on the album!
F-outta here with "Blame it", this has more soul and music than any gimmick his previous single had.
This has that "Ray-Jamie" feel plus a monstrous beat from Timbo, it's an excellent balance indeed!
Grown folks will go like "Damn, I like this sh!t... bounce..bounce..."

I love the soul on this and Jamie Foxx brings some hot singing. Timbo's mainstream beat works well. This is hot!

I think Jamie has one of the best sounding voices out there, But Im not gonna lie I dont like his sound with this production.. its okay, but I think it coulda been better.. I never really did like Tim's productions, to poppy and jumpy for me..

Been had this cd since Christmas and just recently this song has grown on me. I actually believe it will make a decent single, as long as Digital Girl, Slow, Rainman, or Number One follows, as they will dominate the radio. Love the finky beat, courtesy of Timbo. He sounds like an old man in some parts, which adds a humorous flavor to the record.

The production is real fun, and the vocals are straight soul. I like this track cuz it's different than a lot of popular tracks (including Foxx's own) dominating the charts right now, but has the same hit potential. Timbo's production and vocals make the track upbeat and danceable, so yea good look for Jamie.

I honestly cannot believe they selected this as the single. Don't get me wrong - I love it. I just don't see Jamie matching the success of "Blame It" with "I Don't Need It" as the follow-up.

However, with sales that are moving in on platinum certification, I think this will do the trick and push him over the top within 3 months.

I like this alot but I'm so feeling some of the "Blame It" mainstream stuff right now, it's almost summer and I don't think its a bad idea coming out with them club BANGERS and then going with this to reassure everyone he got it

The production is typically Timbo's...it wasn't a bad track, it has energy and it's catchy, I would dance to it but it hasn't such a good melody. In rotation

Copy & Paste Z's comment

Its a decent enough track, though I thought there were a couple of other tracks that would of been better suited to of came out after 'Blame It' drops off the charts. 3.5

its not bad, but this track is a complete contradiction from the s%$# that he was talkin on foxxhole this week...he's so pop he doesn't even know it so he should fall back on the black eyed peas trashing. nice timbo beat tho

This is my kind of music right here! lol
Jamie is very versatile is his craft, and this track shows it. Very smooth and catchy.
Timbo snapped with the production as well.
Two well minded and versatile musicians can create masterpieces.

WOW:]], of course you did. It's a well-known fact you prefer the poppy hits oriented for the ladies (no hate, just telling the truth).

Myself-I like the old-soul sound. It's what defined Jamie Foxx in the music scene, and there's no reason it shouldn't work here.

I was banging this 1 from day 1. The 1st time I heard it, I did a replay about 6 times str8. This has been in my rotation since the CD dropped. Timbaland acted a Fool on this production and Jamie just becomes more convincing every time I hear him. This track flows.
