On the flip side, “ Work Out” has not aged well at all.īest Tracks: “Can’t Get Enough,” “In The Morning,” “Lost Ones” 5) Born Sinner (2013) “ Lost Ones” is probably the best track on the album, detailing a couple’s dilemma as they contemplate having an abortion. “ In The Morning” is an older track, but it works well for this project. While it’s kind of outside of his preferred aesthetic, “ Can’t Get Enough” has solid production and a decent Trey Songz feature at the height of his stardom. But it’s also a strong intro track for Cole’s debut album. “ Dollar And A Dream III” tugs at my heartstrings for sampling music from Kingdom Hearts II. That being said, it’s not a bad album, just lacking polish like most debuts. It felt like a weird mixture of pop-rap and hardcore with little sonic cohesion. It’s got a collection of interesting features from Trey Songz, Drake, Jay-Z, and Missy Elliott, but they don’t seem to collectively match the brand he was seeking to establish. Cole’s first album is easily his weakest.
