I mean this is what a Pell album should sound like definitely. I don't love it but it has that soul-infused bounce with a hip-house influence like its predecessor. If you liked the first, you'll love this one just as much, even more if you can get past the nostalgia factor. I've always found he can get corny at times, but this is better than his last 2 LPs, or at least just as good (mediocre).
