Review: Donell Jones - Lyrics

Before I get to the musical content of Donell Jones’ latest effort, Lyrics, I feel the need to make a quick point regarding the packaging. As you may know I’m a fan of the physical product, preferring CDs to mp3s. With that in mind, when I pick up an album titled Lyrics I expect it to come with the lyrics. Donell Jones’ Lyrics, however, comes with a fold out picture of Donell Jones. Had he named the album Fold Out Picture, maybe I wouldn’t have been do disappointed about not having the lyrics.

The music on Lyrics is a mixed bag, but for the most part it’s a good mixed bag, like really good party mix that only has one or two ingredients you feel the need to pick out.
