The-Dream - Rockin' That Thang

Random Lyric:

And I want you to know

That I'm hooked on your body

And I'm trying to be yours

Terius Nash's latest light and airy bit of fluff picks up the tempo slightly. Most of The-Dream's music is in a mid tempo vein that can go back and forth between intriguing and boring. Despite his public success, most of his mid tempo records fall into the boring category. For whatever reason, those songs have stayed with the public during the time they are successful, but quickly fade from memory once their initial run is over. When was the last time you called a radio station to request "Shawty is Da S&^%?"

After the third and fourth listen, we are still hard pressed to focus in on what The-Dream is singing about? There's something in there about a woman and her bedroom skills, but we honestly can't remember, unless we play it one more time, if he's being complimentary to the lady or if he's trying to get her to drop it low. After click play once again, he at least is singing that he loves the lady, so we assume it's a positive take on her "thang."

The-Dream continues to sing in that fake-tenor range that most R&B singers are ordered by the record corporation to say in which is not a plus for any of them, particularly with The-Dream's limited skill there. All that means it'll probably still be a hit, but we won't rush to put it on our iPod.
