How unfortunate for Jamie Foxx that “Fall For Your Type”, the latest single peeled off the Academy Award-winning actor/ singer’s forthcoming fourth album Best Night of My Life has already spent months toiling around the Internet and garnering fans in the form of a demo by track songwriter Drake.
It’s not only a detriment to the Foxx version that Web-centered listeners have familiarized themselves to a different vocalist taking on the Quiet Storm ballad, but “Fall For Your Type” sounds so much like a typical Drake slow jam (brooding, dark, personal), that even with Jamie being the better singer, his rendition never quite manages to attract the same sleepy spark as Drizzy’s reference rendition, making Foxx sound like he’s just playing another mimicking acting role. Although this song’s not a new song but it’s a favorite song I have considered to be part of my list of great songs.
