The man most known for penning the Usher hit single "Think of You," Donell Jones returns to the R&B music scene with his second effort WHERE I WANNA BE. His blend of smooth harmonies and mid-tempo grooves places him among an elite class of R&B artists. With his first album, Donell Jones maintained a low profile with songs made strictly for the clubs. But on "U Know What's Up," Jones keeps that underground feel, while managing to put a commercial spin on his music. Other songs like "Think About It (Don't Call My Crib)" and "Shorty (Got Her Eyes on Me)" showcase Donell's unique songwriting talent. With a sound reminiscent of the '80s R&B group Loose Ends, WHERE I WANNA BE is neo-soul meets bump-n-grind music.
