Tyrese Tyrese
Tyrese tells a woman how much she means to him and apologizes for neglecting to say "I love you" enough ("Lately"). "Nobody Else," "Ain't Nothin' Like a Jones" and "Give Love a Try" long for romantic commitment. The downside of infidelity creeps into "You Get Yours" and "Promises." The singer wants to mend a damaged relationship ("I Can't Go On") and pays tribute to his mother ("Stay in Touch").

Listeners will trip over a few mild profanities ("d--n fine," "d--n crazy," "Oh, d--n"). "Tell Me, Tell Me" places too much emphasis on a girl's figure ("Your body so sweet, could be my best friend") while "Taste My Love" asks, "Have you ever had someone make love to your mind?" Tyrese entices a "taken" woman to call him for a good time on the hit "Sweet Lady." A male wants to "Do my duty on the booty . . . sexin' with Tyrese"("Do You Need").

First seen in a Coca-Cola commercial, this 19-year-old Los Angeles native has launched a bona fide singing career with Tyrese. Soothing sounds. Velvety vocals. If only he had stuck with lyrics about "love" and steered clear of sex. Subtle or not, those steamy messages spoil an otherwise decent debut.
