Elliott Yamin - Elliott Yamin

Elliott Yamin's easy-listening style of R&B is as hard to criticize as it is to praise. The first single from the album, Movin' On, has the most personality of all the songs on the album, but even that song feels too restrained. While there is no questioning Elliott's vocal abilities, he really didn't test himself with this album. Tried and true Elliott Yamin fans may want to pick this album up, but the rest of us are better of waiting for his next one.
