Philly.com Album Review

MORE URBAN VIBES: Hip-hop and soul styles also mix well in the third set from singer/songwriter producer Lyfe Jennings, "Lyfe Change" (Columbia, B+). On songs like "Keep on Dreaming" (lifting a tune fragment from Suzanne Vega's "Tom's Diner") and the Peter Pan-invoking "Never Never Land," this Toledo, Ohio, native issues balmy Lyfe lessons that even a Bob Marley could endorse. Elsewhere, the album's "Brand New" borrows extensively from the Gamble-Huff hit "You Make Me Feel Brand New" and also quotes the reggae hit "I Can See Clearly Now."
