Looks like Foxx plans on revving the tempo up with his new release “Intuition.” From Billboard.com :

Jamie Foxx says he wanted his new album, “Intuition,” to bang a little harder than his chart-topping, double-platinum 2005 release “Unpredictable.”

“‘Unpredictable” was more, like, slow, bedroom things, which was great but when I went on the road we had all these ballads, so sometimes I had to work a little harder to keep people’s attention,” the singer and actor tells Billboard.com. “With (’Intuition’), we’ve got all these legitimate club, international hits and the tempo is up. People hear this record and go absolutely nuts for it.”

“I think people are slowly wanting to work with me more as far as music is concerned,” notes Foxx, who studied piano on a scholarship to United States International University. “I do run into a lot of roadblocks. I’ve been trying to break down those sort of preconceived thoughts that this is just a hobby to me or … ‘He’s already got enough.’ People want to work with you, but sometimes they don’t take it seriously until they hear the records and see the direction I’m going with. I think it’ll be even easier to get people to feature with me for the next record.”

I like Mr. Foxx. Hell I liked his first CD back in the day, “Peep This.” It was slept on back then ’cause he was just a comedian, but it was a pretty good. I was wondering when he’d get around to releasing a new album, since “Unpredictable” was such a big hit.

Foxx, for all of his fame and accolades, still keeps it pretty hood and that was the one thing about “Unpredictable” I didn’t really like. I felt like he was a damn near forty year old man running around sounding like he was twenty. We will see if his sound matures more with his next outing, but I doubt it if his first single, “Just Like Me” is any indication. Eh, it’s catchy enough I guess.

“Intuition” hits stores Dec. 16.
