Sexy enough to be seductive, but gentle enough to be non-threatening, Foxx projects sincerity even when he’s emulating flavor-of-minute producers like T-Pain and The-Dream. He can play the cheated-on husband in “Just Like Me,” then turn around to embody the sultry adulterer in “Weekend Lover.” Through all of this shape-shifting Foxx’s voice is the constant. With a strategy drawn from his acting experience, Foxx adapts to any given setting and makes us believe any role he’s in. In the first three tracks, he moves from candy-coated pop (“Just Like Me”), to wildly tribal club beats (“I Don’t Need It”), then on to sneering hip-hop (“Number One”). Foxx brings to Intuition, his third album, that effortless ability to play all sides at once.
Successful in film, television, radio, and music, Jamie Foxx has the versatility and charisma of a modern-day Frank Sinatra.
