Like its two predecessors, "Lyfe Change" features his staple heartfelt love songs ("Never, Never Land," "Midnight Train") and uplifting tracks ("Warriors"). The big, well, changes this time around are the production tactics, like the "Tom's Diner" sample on the hopeful "Keep On Dreaming" and the reggae riddims on the Wyclef Jean-assisted "You Think You've Got It Bad." The hip-hop-driven "Brand New," a collaboration with T.I., contains elements of "If I Ruled the World" by rapper Nas, an alternate rhythmic avenue for Jennings as well. Still, songs like "It's Real," where Jennings rhymes over thumping drums like his 2007 hit "S.E.X.," remind us why his sound didn't need much tweaking in the first place.—Mariel Concepcion
