He got the idea of his musical inclination when he starred in the movie musical Dreamgirls alongside Beyonce and Jennifer Hudson. You might remember him more for his acting appearances on tens of his Hollywood films, but there’s more to Jamie Foxx than we have ever known.
It is true that Jamie Foxx’ interest and passion for the performing arts can be summed up in all of his ventures in the movie industry and shockingly with the music planet. Yes, you have read it correctly, Jamie Foxx, the very talented actor, is also a full-pledged singer with a talent to boot.
If you’re thinking that his musical career is a mere speck of a stint, you’re underestimating his vocal talents and you need to think twice. The comic relief he has shared with his fans is tantamount to the tracks he has released for his music minions.
Surprisingly, Jamie Foxx has worked well under the mainstream music radar and has successfully released five studio albums, all of which are deemed successful in sales and patronage.
He first submerged into making his music career a bit more serious upon his first studio album entitled Peep This, which is quite a fitting title for his then blossoming career as a stand-up comedian.
This album even ranked well on the US Billboard Charts at number 78 and picked the 12th spot on the US R&B Charts. The follow-up album has been definitely well thought of as his next dish on the plate entitled Unpredictable careened smoothly as the number 1 album in 2005 upon its release.
Unpredictable have been Jamie Foxx’ cold douse of water on his critics as this emerged as 2x Platinum selling almost 2 million copies in the United States.
Three years after his triumph with second LP, Intuition came next, which established a whopping 1-million copies mark and have been dubbed as a Platinum album by the RIAA.
He never ceased in fulfilling his music cravings via releasing his fourth studio album Best Night of My Life in December 2010 and as expected, ransacked the music stands, ending up with almost half a million copies purchased just in the United States.
Just recently, Jamie Foxx has shown the world his fifth and definitely not the last studio album entitled Hollywood: A Story of Dozen Roses which immediately topped the US R&B Charts and is under the eponymous RCA Records.
This latest offering is a way for Jamie Foxx to showcase his roots with worthy collaborations via tracks with Chris Brown, Wale, Kid Ink, Pharell and Fabolous. The album is generally supported by four main tracks entitled Ain’t My Fault, You Changed Me, Baby’s In Love and In Love By Now.
As for specific tracks, some of the most memorable songs that are just Jamie Foxx in nature include Party Ain’t A Party, Fall For Your Type (with Drake), Living Better Now (with Rick Ross), Winner (with Justin Timberlake and T.I.), Digital Girl (with Kanye West and The Dream) and DJ Play A Love Song (with Twista).
