This came out in 2000 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
If you saw Will Smith’s Wild Wild West video, you might remember Dru Hill vocalist Sisqó as the guy whose hair resembles a skullcap of peroxide blond Astroturf.
Well, his head may be indoor/outdoor, but his voice is strictly from the bedroom on this debut solo album. With a smooth croon dripping with soul and ripe with sensuality, Sisqó moans, groans, swoops, slides, glides, pleads, seduces and double entendres — just what do you think Unleash The Dragon means, anyway? — his way through a baker’s dozen slinky boudoir-soul vibes and incense-scented R&B sexcursions (including one that shamelessly rips off, of all things, Livin’ la Vida Loca). Just call him The Artist Most Likely to Get Rugburn.
