Following the genre’s traditions Lloyd recorded the album’s main single You together with such a well-known person as Lil Wayne. Street Love gains an advantage over Lloyd’s debut in a bigger quantity of highlights first of all. From a technical point of view the album sounds almost perfect, it is really hard to find faults in producing or performance. And it needs to be said that Lloyd looks quite worthy on a pop King’s background, in fact, a comparison itself with such a loud name tells a lot. Likeness of his timbre with Michael Jackson’s voice makes you set up an association between them unintentionally. Despite his modest experience Lloyd sounds confident and convincing. Street Love has more hits than Lloyd’s debut record Street Love is soaked with love lyrics, passionate confessions and sighs. He declined a street thug image of his first album for benefit of romantic, sweet loving look and evidently tries to take a niche of a new teenagers’ sex symbol. In one word, Lloyd establishes a fact that he is here to stay and isn’t going to leave. His new album Street Love saw the light of the day on March, 13 and it’s popularity keeps on growing. But nothing of the sort, Lloyd ‘s name assaults chart’s positions again. But despite his bright takeoff Lloyd seemed more like a temporary phenomenon rather than a new musical discovery and the fact that there was no news about his artistic plans up to December of 2006 only strengthen this attitude. Not every 18-year-old singer can achieve such a result. And though the album became highly demanded generally due to one single recorded with Ashanti, one can say with certainty that his debut was a successful one. His debut album Southside sold more than 300,000 copies. Records, Inc.For the first time Lloyd showed himself up on a starry horizon in 2004 and it must be admitted that he announced his appearance with quite a stir. See More Your browser does not support the audio element. Lloyd is more comfortable, committed, and believable on Street Love, and if taken in small doses, you can add satisfying to the list. Producer Jazze Pha offers a winner with his soulful and polished "Certified" while J Lack (James Lackey) gives the album its most creative moment as he lays broken soul music across "Hazel." Much of Street Love paints Lloyd as a replacement for another J Lack client, Usher, which is much more possible that the half-thug/half-Romeo role he played on his debut. The forced thug posturing is gone and replaced by sweeter lyrics and an entirely convincing playfulness that allows for lines like "Is there something you're not telling me?/Are you the daughter of Frankie Beverly?" ("Get It Shawty") along with a flippant guest shot from Lil Wayne ("You," which samples Spandau Ballet's "True" by way of P.M. Even more important, by never letting the singer out of his comfort zone, the album defines its artist and lays a solid foundation for a long career, even if it just looks like singles and guest appearances on hip-hop tracks at this point.
On the other hand, Street Love is actually a much stronger effort than his debut when you tally the number of highlights. The redundant songs start rearing their heads about track number four, with tales of heartache, seduction, and sweetness repeated as if every day were Valentine's Day. With an overabundance of ballads and swagger, cool crooner Lloyd's second effort is just too narrow to recommend to the casual fan of smooth, pillow-talk R&B.
