Day26's sophomore album Forever in A Day is finally here. After all the drama on Mtv's Making the Band 4, we had to see how this album turned out. Overall, the album is a turn-me-on joint as the 16-track album is filled with some up-tempo and slow-jam bangers.
The album was very well thought out, in terms of concepts. But we have to say the execution of the vocal quality could have been better as well as stronger. You can listen for yourself, but it sounds as if on certain recording days the boys weren't taking care of their voices - probably because of all that darn arguing. (Real talk, we heard heavy breathing on a certain track, meaning the singer couldn't carry the notes or he was just too darn close to the mic.)
The standout vocal performer on this album would have to be Robert. Dude! His voice was like silk and flowed like water over the entire album. You can hear the singer riding the beat of the songs, hugging the melodies and then adding adlibs to improve the quality of the tracks. Rob was certainly clocking some hours on this album or at least practicing his Do Re Mi's to pull off such a great sound. At one point, his voice resonated with us some much that we only looked for his voice on tracks to see what he would do in comparison to the other members. We're not riding his jock strap, but just giving credit where credit is due. Listen closely to him on songs such as "Babymaker" and "Then There's You," which are two of the best tracks on the album.
Collectively, the best track on the album is "Perfectly Blind." It's one of those songs that would please baby-making singers R.Kelly and Marvin Gaye because it's just that good. Also, kudos to Brian Micheal Cox who killed the writing and producing quality on the album. Day 26 needs to continue their relationship with him because his work pulls the best of out of them as singers. To hear the album, please visit http://music.aol.com/new-releases-full-cds/#/1
