...Don’t Go Breaking My Heart,” one of the most whacked-out love duets in recent memory. ODB howls like a stray dog over Macy Gray’s breathy hook and Damon Elliot’s slick production, delivering lines that no other rapper could successfully spit: after cataloguing, for Macy’s benefit, a number of after-dark outdoor sex acts, ODB suggests that they could, “go to the movies / I don’t care which movie / I just wanna get some popcorn and make it salty...

...guest appearances that Legend used on his first album to help establish himself as a top-shelf artist are definitely missed in this attempt. While not every song needs a hip-hop beat or a rapper cameo, the work of Kanye West and Snoop Dogg were definitely welcome variation on Legend’s previous album. Legend’s attempt to be truly classic and stand alone on the album is admirable, but this album lacks the frit and variety necessary to pull this...
