Photographer: Eric Ogden. Though his singing career has largely taken a back seat to his hugely successful run at the box office (starring in Oscar-winning roles such as 2004's RAY), Jamie Foxx has had his feet planted in both artistic camps since his seldom-heard 1994 debut, PEEP THIS. Continuing his breakout 2005 album UNPREDICTABLE's seductive blend of romantic R&B-balladry and smooth bedroom jams, INTUITION finds Foxx upping the tempos and electronic treatments, with the intent of translating his hit-making formula for club audiences. Enlisting a Grammy-pedigreed cast of producers and guest artists, including T.I., Lil Wayne, and T-Pain, the album benefits from its star-studded rotation of guest spots--serving as able hype-men or nimble rhymesmiths on material that could, otherwise, have been fairly middling relationship fodder. On the lead single, "Just Like Me," Foxx's smooth, synthetic croon rides confidently over an appealingly bouncy melodic hook while T.I.'s roughneck swagger provides gritty contrast. While INTUITION lacks some of the immediate pleasures of Foxx's Kanye West-produced collaboration with Twista, "Slow Jamz," it still packs enough surprises and twists to keep it in good stead with 2008's other big album by a fellow R&B singer-turned-actor, Beyonce.

Billboard (p.33) - "[I]t's during the album's romantic second half that Foxx winningly struts his stuff. He channels Marvin Gaye on the melodic 'I Don't Know'..."

Jamie Foxx is best known for his film and television roles, most notably his Oscar-winning turn as Ray Charles in the biopic RAY. More than simply a lip-syncher in the movies, however, Foxx released a debut album of slowjam R&B in 1994, though to little fanfare. Over a decade later, Foxx returned to the music world with 2005's UNPREDICTABLE. His style had changed little and his focus remained on sweaty hip-hop-tinged bedroom ballads, but the eminently likable Foxx's status as a Hollywood power-player helped push the star-studded album, which featured guest shots from Ludacris, Snoop Dogg, Kanye West, and Mary J. Blige, among others, to the top of the charts.
