In 2017, quality R&B music was getting harder to find, and Jagged Edge did nothing to help the case with this album. An R&B artist who came into the music game before the digital age can still make quality music in 2017, which was evident with the album releases earlier this year by Mary J. Jagged Edge chose to focus on the Rhythm aspect of R&B but forgot about the blues aspect of the genre. Instead, we have trappy 808 drums, no diversity in rhythms or tempos, and ultimately forgettable songs. Part of what has always made R&B special is the soul element, and with this, album there is no soul behind it. The arrangements in both are mediocre when it comes to the singing style of the Casey Brothers. When most of your fans are over thirty and married, I am sure they do not want to hear songs with titles like “Peanut Budder.” What is also puzzling is that even the songs with signature titles (“Love” & “How I Love You”) could have been somewhat decent ballads had it not been for the use of auto tune. While Jagged Edge still has enough classic material to tour, the new direction with their music is not promising.

Think about when you go to a concert, the majority of the time you go to hear the songs that made you a fan of the artist, hearing the new material is usually just a bonus. Kelly did with his previous albums “The Buffet and “Black Panties,” which attempt to cater to the young market while forgoing the fans who have grown up on your music. Jagged Edge made the same mistake that R. Twin brothers Brandon & Brian Casey, who could always carry a tune, resorted to using auto tune on this album, which was a mistake. Over the years, Jagged Edge continued to release good albums, including the still classic “JE Heartbreak.” However, with “The Layover,” Jagged Edge seems to have lost the magic they once had. While the breakout single from the album was “I Gotta Be,” the album also featured plenty of solid album tracks. I have been a fan of Jagged Edge since their debut A Jagged Era hit shelves during my sophomore year of high school. After releasing the very nice JE Heartbreak II in 2014, one of the last standing active groups in R&B, Jagged Edge, returned to the scene with their ninth album, The Layover in 2017.
