Lloyd - Naked
Artist: Lloyd
Producer: Polow Da Don
Album: King of Hearts
Label: Young Goldie/Interscope
I know what you’re thinking: “An R&B record titled Naked? This could only be about one thing.” Not so fast—in actuality, Lloyd‘s new single finds him espousing a philosophy of militant nudism, calling for listeners to set aside clothing altogether in the interest of a closer connection with nature. Oh, who am I kidding? In actuality, like most of his musical output, the Young Goldie singer’s latest effort has everything to do with, and is intended to set the mood for, getting it in. Polow Da Don establishes a suitably sultry vibe, blending glittering guitar riffs, smooth sax and thematically-appropriate space shuttle-launch samples, as Lloyd persuades his to girl to take it all off so they can “blast off” in the bedroom. As usual, the singer turns in a impressive mic performance, mixing crooned come-ons with flight metaphors and even working in a sly allusion or two to R. Kelly‘s It Seems Like You’re Ready. While I can take or leave the simulated sex noises (isn’t there a point at which listening to other people’s moans and groans becomes more awkward than hot?), the record itself is another home run—or have I got it twisted? Those who agree can hear more on Lloyd’s new digital full-length, King of Hearts, due out July 5.

This album needs to drop already, right? Keep up the stellar R&B work, Lloyd.

I think this is produced by Dr. Dre not Polow, thats what every other hip hop blog has said anyway and it does sound more like a Dre beat then a Polow beat...
Lloyd is killing it at the moment, every track thats leaked from King of Hearts has been dope. The album needs to drop already |

Great record. Yeah like @Aussie_Pride already said, I've heard this was produced by Dr. Dre. Though I'm curious how Lloyd got his hands on a Dre beat. Anyways he did his thing. Album shaping up to be great.

High-pitched voice works out for lloyd because of the beat.

Love da fact that Lloyd is still making R&B unlike some of his fellows artists out there who are all about Pop.
And IT IS in fact produced by Polow Da Don. Chek Polow's Twitter and you'll see. |

I love it! Slow, sultry banger from Lloyd. The introduction is the mood setter for this one.

At work and decided to check to see what's on the booth. I see Lloyd has done it again. He has yet to disappoint me lately. This is real RnB. Definitely getting this album.

I really do like this track but I agree with Dj booth, the moans aren't necessary, also I could deal with out the picture of the naked lady also /-:, surprised no one has flagged it

I love this track, definitely something I could listen to over and over, I like when Lloyd sings in his smoother voice, I prefer this style rather than the way he sings in lay it down

This might be the best Lloyd album to date, from what I've heard at least....3.5

It sounds so cool right here. i can't wait for his album to drop. It's right next to Chris Brown's Take My Time and Wet The Bed for me. I can't wait to get the album. It will be a nice addition with Street Love. Giving it a 5

Lloyd is really setting new standards this time around, damn. I have never in my 18 years of life seen an artist evolve this much on their 4th album.

Sorry richard, but as a trumpet player I have to call you out on "blending glittering guitar riffs, smooth sax and thematically-appropriate space shuttle-launch samples". That instrument that you have mistaken for a sax is actually a muted trumpet ;)
As for the song... I'm only sometimes a fan of bedroom r&b, and today I'm not, but it's not bad. |
