The pen is mightier with soulful chords...He doesn’t kick it in the club with Paris Hilton. He doesn’t dance across the stage like Chris Brown. Lyfe Jennings doesn’t do a lot of the stuff many so-called R&B acts do today. Thankfully, he does do what Sam Cooke, Al Green and Lionel Richie did so well in their day—he sings his damn heart out! Lyfe Change is the logical next chapter in the soulful crooner’s diary that started with Lyfe 268-192 and The Phoenix. Blanketed by some of the crispest production urban radio has heard in some time, songs like the first single “Cops Up” and “Midnight Train” are consistently catchy without the hint of corny. It’s no matter if he’s telling love detractors they live in “Never Never Land” or being honest about safe sex with “It’s Real” and “Wild, Wild, Wild,” Lyfe keeps it 100%. But like the great ones before him, he also keeps it melodic. (B+) --DeMarco Williams
