notes

J Rice is an up-and-coming singer/writer/producer/arranger/engineer. He is a true artist, who really just loves making music for the world to hear. His debut album titled "The Intro" is a glimpse of what he can do on a bare-bones budget, recording at his own personal studio. J takes time with each song he works on. There are NO fillers on this CD. Every track has a message, whether it be about a loved one you've lost(another tear), to a song that just makes u wanna get up and dance(show me), or something telling you to never give up on Love(love athlete); There is a track for everyone and maybe every track for some one. Some of the best compliments J Rice has received is that a person played the cd from start to finish without skipping a track. Most Cd's nowadays have 13-19 tracks, but you skip at least 8 of them (on a GREAT CD) leaving you with around 5 or 6 songs you listen to. Well, here's 10...Enjoy

    The CD is awsome! Heard it on Myspace, then ordered it. His range seems limited, but still a great sounding CD. One of the best unsigned singers ive heard.

  • What A Voice!!!
    author: MGrayson

    This CD is a must get for anybody that loves R&B. J Rice is a true Tallent and his voice WILL be heard her in the near future. Also i like to give credit to Rocky Sandoval who helped J with a lot of the material on this album and raps on two tracks, who too... can really sing! Be on the look out for them two. Great Job J!!!

  • WOW thats all tha needs to be said
    author: Nick

    Wow, I'm a huge fan of male R&B vocalists, when I stumbled upon JRICE's cd I was hooked with the first song that I heard. Keep up the work JRICE and hope to hear some new tracks out soon

  • talent
    author: poeticmakaveli

    got cd in very quick of time delivered to my door here in IRELAND,so im happy. good album,j rice is very creative and you can tell by listening to this album,again its just down to the promotion and record label to back him up,coz oviously the the talent is there,i cant understand the crap music in the charts when 90% of the chart music is made up of people who cant sing,cant play their own instruments and dont write their own music,that music is for only people who have no idea what good music is and are just eating what the television are feeding them, you can definatly see on this album that j rice has all the attributes to what a musican is.

  • wow
    author: sorphea

    Its a great cd, you have a great voice, your style and everything is working real good for you.. your style is like Chico DeBarge and Brian McKnight put together.. I was hoping to get your new single, Victoria's Secret Model in this, but i guess I didn't read the cd right :) But You have a real good talent.. I hope to see you blow up in the near future.. I wouldn't be surprised when it happens for you

  • AMAZING TALENT.. I'M HOOKED
    author: Sare

    This CD is amazing!! I recommend it to anyone with an ear for great talent and looking for an r+b artist who has talented vocals with a good beat. His songs are tastefully done and emotionally gripping. Anyone with an ear for good music can easily appreciate it! Now that i've listened i'm hooked.. he's definately scored a new fan! I'm spreading the word on this one! make sure to check his songs out..

  • If you like Jon B...you'll love this one!!!
    author: Scott F.

    I am writing this review from listening to J's songs on another site...and all I can say is this guy has incredible talent. He reminds me a lot of Jon B; especially considering he writes, produces, arranges and engineers his own material...how can you not appreciate that? I normally won't post a review for ordinary R&B, but I like how he tries different things vocally and i'm confident that if you listen...you'll agree; GET THIS CD!!!

  • HOT!
    author: Gene

    I purchased the cd after hearing about it from a person who is supposed to be a friend of the artist's. The CD is HOT! Some of the songs sound boy bandish, but that's okay cause the rest of the tracks make up for it BIG. One of the best R&B albums I've purchased. Hope you make it big, you definately have the talent to.

  • author: anna

    oh my gosh. i love the sample. i wish i could buy the cd. i love it. keep up the good work

  • Amaaaaaaaaaaaaazzzing
    author: Caroline

    Love the album I can't believe someone so talented is of yet to "make it" mainstream. That said I suppose the mainstream stuff now-a-days is very commercial. You are truly a talented artist and I wish you every success in the world.

  • Amazing
    author: Claire

    I had a choice - to buy his CD or someone else's that I loved that was already mainstream, after listening to the bits, I was sold. Truly talented.

  • A true musician is hard to find, but he is it.

    The cd was great Joshua and I am so proud of you for goin out and doin your thing. Another Tear is so great!!!!

  • author: Rhonda

    I just got my CD and I really love it....I've got my friends and family listening to it too. Totally AWESOME............Thank you

  • gorgeous
    author: christina

    i've only heard the samples and everything here is so beautiful...so gorgeous...when i can get the money...im gonna buy this cd for sure...truly wonderful...we need to get u out here in the mainstream..they r missing out

  • The Next Brian McKnight?
    author: Jennifer

    Just bought the album and it's hot! I love "Love Athlete". At the moment that is my favorite tune. I recommend this album to anyone that is a fan of Brian McKnight. Great stuff here!!

  • author: DoHan

    Just listen to the samples, the music speaks for itself. This cd is some of J-Rice's work over the couple of years. Not only does he write and sing like many artists out there, but he can produce the songs as well. You can't name a lot of people that can do all three. This guy has incredible range and can attack many styles of r&b. Help promote this artist by purchasing the cd and being able to say you listened to him before he becomes a big star. call him the mike jones of r&b!

  • True R&B
    author: Jon B

    What an album. Tracks 2 and 3 respectively are poor (in my opinion), but I guess I am not a real lover of uptempo R&B. Apart from those 2 tracks, the other 8 are unbelievable! A true R&B singer knows that ballads are their forte, and that they are the songs that really provoke thoughts and emotion among listeners. J Rice has 5 exceptional ballads, that really highlight the quality of his voice. The lyrics are meaningful and really make you think. I haven't even bought the album yet: I HAD to write this review based on the samples on this site because even from these samples I can tell that J Rice is going places. With the right promotion, and if he sticks to singing ballads, I'm sure he'll be a worldwide success. I just hope that today's world of Dance & Hip Hop doesn't stop artists like J Rice keeping it real and keeping real R&B and soul alive... Jon B the 2nd

  • Can you really choose a favorite??
    author: Dennise

    I agree with the description above, you always want to skip tracks on most CD's... not this one! It's constantly in play at my house - if not from me, my roomates! Everybody I know is in love with this CD (girls and guys alike!!). Can't wait to hear more material :)

  • Amazing.. Music leaves you in aww
    author: Phathom
