Forever (Donell Jones Album)
''Forever'' is the sixth studio album by R&B singer Donell Jones. It was released on July 9, 2013, through eOne Music. The album debuted at number 20 on the US ''Billboard'' 200 with sales of 12,000 copies. Critical reception Allmusic editor Andy Kellman rated the album three ouf of five stars. He found that "more should be made of Jones' versatility. ''Forever'' is even closer to being a one-man show than 2010's ''Lyrics'', with Jones performing every instrument but guitar, and he gets only a little songwriting assistance (and no guest appearances from MCs)." Kellmann noted that while "apart from the surprisingly brash "Step the F*** Off" and the Michael Jackson tribute "I Miss the King," not much sticks out, but the album is consistently likeable, filled with comfortable, mid-wattage grooves, yearning ballads (including the Teena Marie-sampling "Closer I Get to You"), and a couple diversions into racier content Track listing All tracks written and produced by Donell Jones ( ...

Contemporary R&B
Contemporary R&B (or simply R&B) is a popular music genre that combines rhythm and blues with elements of pop, soul, funk, hip hop, and electronic music. The genre features a distinctive record production style, drum machine-backed rhythms, pitch corrected vocals, and a smooth, lush style of vocal arrangement. Electronic influences are becoming an increasing trend and the use of hip hop or dance-inspired beats are typical, although the roughness and grit inherent in hip hop may be reduced and smoothed out. Contemporary R&B vocalists often use melisma, and since the mid-1980s, R&B rhythms have been combined with elements of hip hop culture and music and pop culture and pop music.
