I hate to say this, but Lyfe Jennings' new CD, "Change," sucks. I am very disappointed in his (or perhaps his label's?) decision to "assimilate" his sound. What is up with soul singers? Why is that after a few albums, they start making pop songs that are so demeaning to their beautiful, soulful voices and degrade their sounds? I've seen this happen time and time again. Hell, even Usher's doing it on "Here I Stand" (and if "Love in This Club" is not pop, I don't know what is). Nonetheless, I think this is Lyfe's worse CD, and wish this soulful man would have continued telling his life story and made more songs like "Never Never Land" instead of opting for "change."
