Three things immediately came to mind upon watching the video for Tank's "Sex Music," the lead single from his forthcoming album, Now or Never. First, Tank is sexy as all hell. Every last one of his videos could just consist of him shirtless and singing to the camera--lips looking all juicy and what not--instead of wasting a budget on sets, clothes, dancers and extraneous females. But even his succulent mouth couldn't make up for the dreck that escaped from it when he started singing this song. Which brings me to my second point: He should have sold this joint to Jamie Foxx. As one of his principal songwriters, Tank has supplied him with a lot of material over the years and Jamie has appropriated his sound--so much so that this straight up sounded like a Jamie Foxx record and not a Tank song. And that's unfortunate, because, lastly, Tank is so much better than this. Why is he resorting to using Auto-Tune and penning such lame lyrics? It's such a waste of his talent and our time, much like this video.
