Ruben Studdard’s 2nd Album Details “The Return”
Ruben Studdard’s 2nd album “The Return” now has more details available.
Affable “American Idol” winner Ruben Studdard loads his sophomore disc, “The Return,” with smooth grooves and standard R&B tracks—but no standouts. For the most part, his vocal performances, often likened to late legend Luther Vandross, are flat and not as stunning as expected. Though his 2004 debut “Soulful” bowed atop The Billboard 200, it was mostly on the strength of his popularity on “Idol,” where he dazzled all with his melodic crooning. Here the stout singer seems to phone in his vocals on tracks like “Our Story” and “Get U Loose.” The derivative lyrics of lead single “Change Me” and “I’m Not Happy” seem interchangeable with any other R&B song. And while “The Return” offers some quality tunes, Studdard largely fails to own these songs, and their emotions, as he should. —Clover Hope
