Jamie Foxx has been hard at work on his next studio album. One of the songs emerging from his studio sessions is ‘Quit Your Job’, which was written and produced by The-Dream and Tricky Stewart. Foxx’s new album hits stores later this year.
This song definitely has The-Dream and Stewart written all over it. From the colourful, almost ‘Sesame Street’ melodies to the beat, the record remains within familiar territory for the production duo. Although a nice track, Foxx sounds more like The-Dream than anything else, especially the end when he ascends into his falsetto. Artists need to be careful not to lose their identity when being directed by producers. As proven by some of the songs on Mariah Carey’s ‘Memoirs of An Imperfect Angel’ album, it is very easy to get lost in the production.

The melody from this song is the SAME EXACT melody from India Arie’s “There’s Hope” so the song is very lame for that.

@ HIHIHI
You’re a freakin idiot. If you believe this is a “gimicky blog,” then get the fuck out. No one will miss you. You have issues if you come to a place everyday, yet claim not to like it every time you come here. Get the fuck out.
