E.R.


One of the most underrated soul and r&b singers to hit the scene in the past decade has to be without a doubt the artist simply named Joe. I am a fan of this talented man because he rarely ever lets me down. Usually he releases quality songs that are catchy and entertaining and why he's not on the level of an Usher or an R. Kelly is a true mystery. Maybe he needs to release a sex tape or something or get caught driving drunk. Maybe that would give his career the push it needs to get him out of the middle of the pack with the Avants and the like.

The song E.R. is a catchy and creative song that's a head nodder and foot tapper for sure. Off of his 2008 release New Man, E.R. was the first song on the album and it was a tone setter. The lyrics are witty and the hook is memorable and the song is layered in so many ways both vocally and musically which I like. It's a well arranged song and while Joe doesn't have the pipes of say a Jaheim, he's still a very capable singer and gets the most out his gift.

This song was the first single and it failed to catch on but I am a fan of this tune and of Joe's. Give it a chance and you may be too. Enjoy!
