Album Review: Jodeci - The Past, The Present, The Future

StarStarHalf Star

"This album isn’t overly memorable and it’s disappointing that uber producer and one-time Jodeci protégé Timbaland isn’t utilised more."

Twenty years between albums is a long time out of the game for any artist, and considering how different the R&B landscape is now, credit goes to revered ‘90s slow jam kings Jodeci for giving the new music thing a red hot go.

This album isn’t overly memorable and it’s disappointing that uber producer and one-time Jodeci protégé Timbaland isn’t utilised more on the record – his handy-work only features on two tracks – Those Things and Incredible. Closer, Nobody Wins is probably the stand-out track in a return to lukewarm form by the quartet.
