I’ve always found the “Love Is War” concept a little lopsided. I mean, try to imagine a soldier on the front lines in Afghanistan or Iraq turning to his buddy and saying, “Hey, this is exactly like a difficult relationship!” Not too plausible. Be that as it may, the comparison’s been enjoying a resurgence of popularity in urban music. Following in the footsteps of such artists as Sean Kingston, Jordin Sparks, Amerie and Sade, Jamie Foxx takes up arms against the disintegration of a relationship on potential album inclusion Marching On. Backed by The Underdogs’ subdued, piano-led boardwork, Foxx explains just how hard he’s willing to fight for the heart of his special someone. Fittingly, singer-songwriter-producer Tank provides backing, um, fire throughout the record. Violent lyrics aside, this track is sweeping R&B balladry in its purest form. Fans should keep it locked to the Booth for the latest on Foxx’ forthcoming senior album, tentatively titled Body and set to drop March 10, of next year.

just a LITTLE to slow for my taste. I like Jamie somewhere in the middle. "Unpredictable" type.

that1kid, if you like some fast-paced Jamie, check out "Straight to the Dance Floor" f/Wayne, just dropped today.

I'm the same way though, this isn't my cup of tea and I prefer the 'Blame It' type records from him. Foxx has too many throwaway tracks that should probably never get released.

Why was this released? Jamie has such a great personality which shows in his party songs so a boring track like this should just be an album cut, or maybe never put out at all.

I think this is a great album filler, not a single. Personally, I could care less if this is on his next album, but it is NOT a bad track!

Like some of the previous comments, this was a little slow, but that being said... it is much much MUCH better than "Speak French" which was awful. Does serve as a nice album filler track.

By the way, richard brings up a good point: "I mean, try to imagine a soldier on the front lines in Afghanistan or Iraq turning to his buddy and saying, “Hey, this is exactly like a difficult relationship!”" Never thought of it from the soldiers perspective. Interesting.

@GStan

That's because love is war. War isn't necessarily war. Funny when you flip it around though.

On the song, I normally like slow Foxx and a piano, but this song was very "meh"

The last couple of tracks Jamie has come back on the scene with are not bad (excluding the heinous "Speak French"), but I don't like them either.

If you go into it without expecting too much, then you will like it. Once concentrate on the lyrics and its actually a good song. 2.5

I like this song alot for what it is. Its a nice ballad. The beat's not very interesting but that would take away from the purpose of the song. Jamie's voice sounds good on it.

i feel although is slow and its a album joint u guys rely too much on the hit records to get ur rocks off fast pace is great if all you like is club bangers. this song is a solid ballad and still showcases good vocals as well as meaning the music still needs that

This track is a bit too slow for me, but DAMN, Jamie's voice is always SOOOO GOOD! My boy can Blow!!! This is a smooth track that I wouldn't mind listening to again, even though its not my style. I'll throw it into rotation. This would be a good track to include on an album.

Why are people saying this is too slow?!?! Yall ever heard of the term "Slow Jam"??? You can't be at the club all the time? Sometimes you gotta be at home chilling, music for thought & pleasure, not just something to shake ya ass too.
