And while these established music-makers could have turned out an Usher clone, the man born Francisco Javier Bautista maintained enough creative control to craft more of a sensitive, balladeer persona for himself. The singer's style is exemplified by the lush "Story of My Life," with acoustic-guitar accompaniment and a pleading tone that's more yearning than desperate. Throughout THE ONE, however, J's Latin roots are never far away, as he croons Spanish couplets amid the snappy beats of the R&B-flavored remake of Aventura's bachata hit "Obsession (No Es Amor)," which features rapper Baby Bash. J's falsetto rings convincingly on the Winans-produced Jodeci-like jam "Can't Say It's Love" and the title track, with its perfect blend of clavinet, strings, and backing vocals. Even when the vibe gets a bit rougher, as with "On the Floor," Frankie J holds his own. As a bonus, THE ONE tacks on extra cuts, including an all-Spanish reading of "Obsession (No Es Amor)." | Producer: Frankie J; Jimi Kendrix; Malcolm Flythe; Irv Gotti; Bryan Michael Cox; Happy Perez; Karlin; Night & Day; Mario Winans; Steve Russell; James Galvez; DJ Trauma; Soulshock; Happy Perez; Jimi Kendrix; Malcolm Flythe; Irv Gotti; Bryan Michael Cox; Karlin; Nigh | Engineer: Happy Perez; James Galvez; Mischke; Eric Hunter; Won "Engineer To The Stars" Bee Allen; Filiberto Lara Bautista; James Hoover; Sam Thomas |
