Since Foxx is a chameleon, he can work the angle without sounding out of place or hopelessly desperate for a big pop hit, yet the effect of the material tends to be fleeting, with punch lines like "I don't rain, girl, I hurricane" and "Let me introduce you to my Grammy family, like Uncle Oscar, Aunt Emmy" far more memorable than the beats. That's the way most of the album plays out, with a pronounced slant toward upbeat material made for the clubs: bumping beats and Auto-Tune, shorties and PatrĂ³n, the works. ![]() Intuition is as star-studded as Unpredictable, its collection of collaborators and producers - including Lil Wayne, T.I., the-Dream, T-Pain, and Ne-Yo - making it appear more like a release from a singer in his twenties rather than early forties.
