3.5 Stars for the follow-up of "The Adventures of ...."

so, after Bobby Ray has described to us two years ago his adventures from our own point of view, now comes with the "strange cloud" - part 2! First of all you have to say that Bobby obviously carries a lot of weight on his shoulders. "Nothing on You" was an absolute hit and mega success. Of course it also the "About Singer" Bruno Mars was instrumental. "Airplanes" was also a grenade and precisely to these songs, he is now "unfortunately" measured. He has chosen a kind of crossover music to make Pop Rap / Rock /, and I think that he does still good. He has unquestionably the great advantage that it is both a good rapper and a good singer. The beats and instruments are strong, as his voice. On most songs we do not really look for a message, it is purely to entertain it.

The album has ups and downs, on which I want to comment briefly. While tracks like "Bombs Away", "Strange Clouds" and "So Hard to Breathe" represent for me the true Bobby Ray, are songs like "Both of us" (featl Taylor Swift), "Chandelier" (featl Lauriana Mae) and "Castles" (feat. Trey Songs) almost superfluous, because here the features are placed to the fore, and that can not really be in a exceptional talent as he is. But negative turning point "Out Of My Mind" (feat. Nicki Minaj), which has been completely adapted to their "sound style". Unfortunately, I have an allergy to this lady, the song is horrible and unnecessary.

All in all a solid successor to the "super-debut album," not quite as catchy, but at the same time not too intrusive. Some numbers are interchangeable and I'm sure that he can do better. Unfortunately Labels have also features influences and pressure of "selling" is indeed getting bigger. Maybe we will see when his next album, whom Bobby Ray really represents. Man or machine, sun or strange clouds .... Primarily he is a good musician of the genre's different between jumps back and forth and thus appeals to a wider audience, as a pure "street rappers".
