Hit or Miss?
Miss, he spread himself way too thin with all the mixtapes. The album is so blah, no stand outs, no theme or motive. It’s clear that Def Jam gave up on the failed Neyo replacement. Bijoux 22 should had been an album, I have never seen artist SIT on the bench for so long as him, Luke James and Rita.
Zzzzzzzz
He’s like the little engine that could. No one is really interested but just keeps on going. There’s something to be admired about that…I guess.
The songs sound mixed incorrectly. The album cover is not innovative or eye catching. The timing is off. I just don’t see how this cutie can be successful with this project. I think it’s like this… some students prepare (Tinashe, Teanna, and etc.) & others over prepare (Elijah, Jhenè, and etc.) which means that the underground material is better than their mainstream material.
Beyonce sued for $7,000,000 over XO plagiarism. This is the ‘Flawless’ singer’s biggest copyright accusations to date.
Nothing about these snippets scream hit or potential some artists are meant to play the bench or background and Elijah is one of those artists his strength is the ability to help other artists tell their stories and that’s what he should stick to.
