As for the 11 "soulful" songs on Baby Makin' Project, they simply fail to "put me in the mood."
Maybe I have a different idea of what a "romantic" song is, or maybe Jagged Edge's time of love-making ballads has passed, along with eighth grade dances.
Supposedly, the second track on the album, "Put A Little Umph In It," featuring Ashanti, should inspire some candle-lit dancing, or uh, candle-lit other things. But it makes me want to take a candle-lit nap. It's slow and soft, which I guess is how a love song should be, but it has zero beat and definitely fails to catch my attention.
The remaining nine tracks on the album (not including the Intro) have the same sleepy beat, the same soft crooning.
I have to give the guys credit though - despite their ability to create a catchy beat, they all have damn good voices. Their harmonizing and deep, melodic voices make me want to jump onstage with them and snap my fingers to the beat (what little of it there is).
Perhaps with a little work on the instrumental side of their music, Jagged Edge can create a modern age baby boom, inspired completely by its music.
