Gearing up for the release of his third studio album, Lessons in Love, R&B singer Lloyd has released his newest official single, Year of the Lover, which can best be described as the epitome of a modern-day R&B hit; Lloyd’s sensually-charged vocals combined with Bryan-Michael Cox‘s slow, synth-heavy beat appeal perfectly to his primarily female audience. For the remix, the Atlanta-born crooner picks up one of the ladies’ bigger heartthrobs in urban music to add eight bars off the top. As Plies describes what he wants his wedding to be like, women will certainly fantasize right along with him – well, at least till he says “I’m just playin’.” Year of the Lover is the third single from Lessons in Love, which will be available in stores and online this upcoming Tuesday, August 5.

Yea Cruzz, I'm not feelin this one either, has that make love up in this club vibe to it. Lloyds next album is not livin up to this goodness of his last one. I've heard some good tracks on there, but there are a few that suck like this one, and one song that I heard that I absolutly hate.

First 5 seconds sounded identical to another Plies song, Hypnotized. This is pretty good, but Plies screws it up in my opinion. His voice here seriously sounds like extra slow motion, and he cant pronounce 1 word right. Lloyd kills this beat though, from the verses to especially the chorus. Would have liked to seen Plies dropped from this, but it will get more airplay with the 2 of them attached to it. 3/5.

Uh Oh.... look who's back! It's good to be back to work, everyone. DJ Booth will be going REAL HARD with LOADS of brand new music and features. This is a formulaic move to roll out this song as a single. It's the old, if it isn't broken, let's not fix it move. Let's see if it works. And shout out to Lloyd for name dropping DJBOOTH in the liner notes of the new album!

3 stars. the hook coulda beeen better but overall decent song. . sounds liek love in this club. but still a decent song. in rotation. he's obviously releasing this song though as a single, as many times as he said " this ones for the radio" ...

Okay, love Plies and lloyd. Here's my opinion. Take him out cause he does nothing for it, and have lloyd sing a little more up-beat and this could be a great song. Sounds a lot like Mj on this as well

I'm a sucker for slow songs, but this honestly sucks to me. The music is good but they sound boring, and this is weird coz I usually like both of them. Well this is a song I would put when I kiss my boyfriend...and that's all

I know EXACTLY what you mean, CB. This is a dope slow song. Typical Plies verse, but it doesn't hurt the song at all.

Im a big R&B fan and Lloyd has a nice diffrent voice but many times he just seems to be in the wrong tracks. This is definately what he should be doin. Plies on the other hand bring nothing to the track...

If this song didn't have garbage ass plies it would have okay. But he ruined this song with that intro. Lloyd was really all that but it could have been beter without plies
