(ThyBlackMan.com) Tyrese is a ladies’ man and has two Grammys to prove why he can get them where they need to be–just at the right time musically. On his new album, “Open Invitation” the soulful crooner shows the world why he has stayed on top since joining the music industry in the late 90s, by producing grown folk music. At the age of 33, this young man has garnished various accolades. He is an accomplished actor in his own right. In 2011, Tyrese became a national best-selling author, penning, “How to Get Out of My Own Way.”
Back in the late 90s the R&B singer was known for his smooth chocolate skin, bald-head, and consistent Coca-Cola commercial appearances. Since that time, Tyrese has released five albums. On his latest album, “Open Invitation” 
signifies growth as a man, and Tyrese acknowledges that he is a leader and wants to have a relationship with a real woman. When the album begins, he sings to the up-tempo song, “I’m Home” featuring Jay Rock, and reminds his fans that R&B will always be around as long as he is in the game. Tyrese makes sure that you stay intrigued with his lyrical abilities and invites Rick Ross & R. Kelly on the track, “I Gotta Chick.” The single describes how the artist is attracted to women who take care of their responsibilities and are not afraid to get down & dirty in the bedroom. Not to mention, the artist states that he wants to return the favors that have been bestowed upon him.
“Stay” is the first track that initially dropped and is an ode to the good ole’ days and Tyrese reminds his fans that love is a beautiful part of a relationship. The artist continues to uplift women on the single, “Nothing” and chimes that he understands women’s need attention and to be romanced. “Open Invitation” has something for everyone and aims to please all who are interested in opening up the package before them and recognizing that they have a true gift for life.
Point noted–R&B music today lacks the lyrical abilities of the 80s and 90s. However, when you listen to Tyrese, he makes you forget it all. As he says on the track, “One Night” –all he needs is one night, and you will never leave. “It’s All On Me” will receive heavy rotation this winter. It has a hip-hop R&B sexy feel to it. Tyrese tells his lady that anything that she wants—she can have it! Ladies will like the fact that Tyrese wants to travel all around the globe, while he takes care of their every need.
Thankfully, there are not too many rappers on this hot album. On the single, “Too Easy” Ludacris joins Tyrese on the track, and it flows to the tee. If you like slow, slow, slow jams –aka- baby-making music, you are in for a treat.
If you happen to receive this album this Christmas, the individual that purchased it for you definitely knows music. Tyrese ends the journey on his fifth album and hiatus from music with a poem dedicated to his fans. Soulfully, he says loud and clear that he knows who GOD is and she is right by his side.
–Now that is a stellar ending for 2011.
