Finally an R+B album worth buying

Review Score: (8/10)
I am hooked on this album. Became of fan of it in the spring, when vacationing in Puerto Rico. Heard "You Don't Know My Name" over and over at a beach bar: perfect relaxtion, and every time I here that song it brings me back to that warm, beautiful place. Had to pick up the album after that. And very good purchase might I add. Like R+B music in general, but havent really been a fan of an individual album in a while until now. There's soul, funk, rhythm, and blues. And Timbaland! One of the best albums of the year! Standout tracks: (the singles, especially "Karma"); "If I Was Your Woman"; "Heartburn"
