This is just toooooo easy. What's wrong with 'What's Wrong' is that it's not acceptable for T-Pain to sing a full song in autotune especially when the other collaborator is singing in their normal tone. Having vocoded vocals on a track that's suppose to invoke some sort of emotion doesn't work. When I heard the vocoded runs and addlibbing my ear drums nearly exploded across all corners of the room. If the vocoder is being used whilst preoccupying somebody else's song, then I guess it isn't that bad if you have like one verse in the middle of the song but this isn't just a feature. It's an actual two-sided duet (at least from the snippet that's what it sounds like), meaning we have to suffer a bout of severe migraine throughout the whole track. The sad thing about it is that the R&B midtempo groove isn't bad at all and had the potential to be a decent song had she collaborated with a REAL singer like Joe or Avant.
The track 'Giving My Self Over To You' is much better. The song is a hearty piano-laced ballad which was written by Robin Thicke. I'm loving the lyrics and she's sanging her heart out on the track. I'm taking it the song is in dedication to her future husband 'Punk' whom she got engaged to last week. Jen sounds really sprung. Let's hope she doesn't catch him in bed with another man because dude looks gay all the way, and this song would be such a waste. But that said, Robin did the damn thing with this track. Crazily enough Robin and Jen release their albums on the same day - Sept 30th. You can check out the official tracklisting for Jen's album after the cut.
