I will not lie, I am not a die hard IMX or Marques Houston, I only have a couple of his songs on my Ipod, and they are the songs on the radio, like "Circle" ((classic by the way)), "Naked", "Because Of You" and "Sex With You"....however, I recently listened to his new album Mr. Houston and I cannot like, I have to admit that I love it!
However I am disappointed a bit. This album was not promoted nor marketed very well and as a result, this wonderful album will not get the credit that it truly deserves! Im disappointed because his album dropped in Sept of this year and I knew nothing about it! Didn't even hear a single from it! I found out that he had a new album because I saw it on the Wendy Williams show ((yes I watch that show, I have a love/hate relationship with it lol)). And I just found out that he had a video for his single "Date" which I really enjoy, and I knew nothing about! So I decided to give it a listen.....Mr. Houston, Mr. Houston....
I really, really like the flow and style of this album. I honestly enjoy all of the tracks, and some just speak to me personally. For example, his song, "Case of You"...he sings, "Girl, I'm feeling like I'm coming down with a case of you.
Now it started in my head but it trickled down to my shoes.
I feel so weak, so hard to breathe.
But it seems to only happen when you leave, girl.
Ain't nobody ever had me feeling quite like you do.
I'm coming down with a case of you"
and that's exactly how I feel about My Godiva Baby ((Jonathan))...enough said! lol
But than there is his song, "Date"...he tells the girl he not trying no funny business, not trying to sleep with her, just trying to take her on a DATE and get to know her better as an individual...which I feel more guys need to be like. Our generation has gotten away from it's roots and has settled under this blanet of ignorance...and things arent the way they were suppose to be anymore....
Mr. Houston shows that there are some young men out there who have not forgotten how to treat a lady....and he lets you know he does in such songs are "Restaurant" and "Beautiful Woman". And he describes how he gets a rush of feelings for a certain girl in his song, "Excited". He also goes into detail over the fight that he has with himself over loving his ex even though he know he shouldnt because she's no good for him in his song, "Letter"...
I dont usually judge and grade albums, because that is an artist's creative outlet, but this album just took me by surpise. So much that I was moved to write about it! I love this album and MH has my support! This album def gets an A+ in my book! I encourage all to go out and get this album!
