Although Joe Thomas has been around for over a decade and is a household name in R&B circles, the singer has enjoyed limited and intermittent chart success, hence the title of his soon-to-be-released sixth album Joe Who? Joe Thomas. His most notable successes have come off the back of soundtrack cuts like the seductive All the Things Your Man Won’t Do and the club banger Stutter. Despite plying his trade for years with bigger and better tunes, his biggest hit to date was as recent as 2004 courtesy of his G-Unit collaboration Ride Wit U. Joe’s finest offering, however, 2000’s My Name Is Joe spawned timeless bedroom ballads like I Wanna Know, Treat Her Like A Lady and Somebody’s Gotta Be on Top and further confirmed his loverman credentials. While musically he may have a tendency to settle for the average, Joe is an exceptional vocalist and his longevity is testament to the fact that he makes quality R&B that hip-hop and soul fans can also dig, a fusion that’s produced a solid collection of long players spanning twelve years.

Thank you, I agree Joe is an amazing artist I would even go so far as to compare him to the late great Luther. I played his first cd so much it cracked.
