You Can Have The Hoes – Starting off with a sped up sample of Barbara Mason’s Yes, I’m Ready (although, based on the harmonies, it could be Gladys Knight version) before the inexplicable Mustard on the beat, ho and the beat drop, Bellinger sings about the amazing things that being in a relationship with him comes with. Despite the vocal misstep, it’s an enjoyable way to start the album.Ģ. This part has the singer sounding much better as there is far less autotune and his adlib, including his falsetto, are strong showing vocal improvement from his last album. But it’s not done yet because, after a breath of a gap, what sounds like an uncredited (and autotuned) Ty Dolla $ign starts singing about how he change this lady’s life before Bellinger joins in and continues by joining the idea of commitment from earlier to the idea of letting go of all the extra women in his life. The sad thing is that he’s proven that he doesn’t need it and that his natural tone is perfect for this kind of track. Bellinger’s vocals are okay, but there is way too much autotune being used here. The bass doesn’t drop until the “chorus” and fades again once its over, but its a nice effect that makes you focus on the feeling of the track. The melody has that romantic feel with its slow, lush undertones and tinkling piano. Bellinger sings about his lady keeping herself closed off from him and wanting to do whatever it takes to open her heart and teach how to love. Unlike the sister freelease, however, this intro is completely related to the title of the project. Cuffing Season – The album opens with an extended intro, similar to Choose Up Season, that sets the tone for the rest of the project. Can he manage to convey his new situation without leaving his core audience, many of whom are still single, behind?ġ. He also has taken the time to make sure that everything for this project works works together. This time around he seems focused on his wife and growing family. Choose Up Season was about living the single life and having fun. After push the album from the 7th to the 10th to the 17th, the project dropped and fans snapped it up with eagerness.īut what was the delay? Eric Bellinger says that when he released his last album, Rebirth, his mind was all over the place and that it was reflected in his music.
Unfortunately for fans, the date came and went with Bellinger pushing the date first into March and then into July. The first single was released in December and the album was expected around Valentine’s Day, a year after the release of his first album.
