The sticker on the front of Donell Jones' sixth album - his second release for veteran R&B-artist sanctuary eOne - refers to the singer as an 'R&B superstar.' For someone who has reached the Billboard R&B Top 20 only four times (the last time was in 2002), that's probably a stretch. There's no denying that his fan base is devoted and significant in size each one of his albums has peaked within the R&B Top Ten, and he really is more of an album artist than a singles artist, since his releases tend to sustain a steady mood and have never seemed concerned with crossing over. More should be made of Jones' versatility.

Forever is even closer to being a one-man show than 2010's Lyrics, with Jones performing every instrument but guitar, and he gets only a little songwriting assistance (and no guest appearances from MCs). Apart from the surprisingly brash 'Step the F*** Off' and the Michael Jackson tribute 'I Miss the King,' not much sticks out, but the album is consistently likeable, filled with comfortable, mid-wattage grooves, yearning ballads (including the Teena Marie-sampling 'Closer I Get to You'), and a couple diversions into racier content (such as 'You Know' and 'Ride This').
