She has some good songs on here like "I Want You To.", the music industry lament "I Always Knew", and "You Will Make It", her song dedicated to the late Proof of D-12. The end result is that it sounds so polished and so slick, it was as if she was making a desperate attempt to become a pop star.
I had her album in rotation constantly. I was enthralled by Jem ever since she released her debut album, "Finally Woken" in 2004.
And like Nas' "It Was Written", the problem isn't the artist, it's the production.Among the contributors are Jeff Bass (best known for his work with Eminem), Lester Mendez (best known for his work with Shakira), and Greg Kurstin of The Bird And The Bee. Fast forward four years and she returns with "Down To Earth", an album that's her "It Was Written", an album that is a complete 180 from what she was previously known for.
Lyrically, she has matured and has shown so on the songs. While I gave this album a chance and I really wanted to like it, overall it was decent, at best.
It's not a bad album, but it's not a great one, either.
This artist has a pleasing voice and her songs are nice to listen to whether in the car or relaxing at home.
And this CD shows it. It is awful, something almost on the level of Christina Aguilera. Jem's first CD was great. Also, some of these CDs are copy protect when trying to rip it to itunes.
This CD is sooooooooooooooooo good, JEM is spectacular, she mixes intrumentals with like a hiphop beats. Even my husband is hooked and he's all about hiphop lolgood buy
I love Jem shes always getting a different vibe though after hearing it many times I need a break from it. Its not as good as the first one but which cd is.
