Bow Wow and Omarion- Face Off


Full-length pairups between R&B and rap/ hip-hop artists are nothing new. (See R. Kelly and Jay-Z's "Unfinished Business.") On this outing, teen heartthrobs and tour mates Bow Wow and Omarion team for an album that builds on their 2005 hit merger "Let Me Hold You." The result doesn't disappoint. One of the strongest tracks is the engaging groove of lead single "Girlfriend," on which the two artists rhythmically and lyrically draw portraits of their romantic ideals. Omarion's tender tenor perfectly complements Bow Wow's energetic rap as they trade off on the equally catchy "He Ain't Gotta Know" and "Can't Get Tired of Me." A couple of tracks sound derivative, but for the most part fans of the duo will embrace this album as well as the twosome's maturing sound
