iTunes Review

While a lot of modern R&B albums promise bedroom thrills and quickly detour into other subjects, Marques Houston’s fifth solo album Mattress Music fully lives up to its title. Houston stays on topic for all 12 songs, which is something of an accomplishment considering how quickly one can run out of ways to talk about boudoir activity. There is a nice variety here, from unabashedly explicit sex songs (“Mess”) to romantic gentility (“Waterfall”) to sweet, easygoing collaborations with rappers (“Pullin On Her Hair,” “Swag Sex”). The thing that ties the album together isn’t subject matter, but Houston’s approach to it. Mattress Music has a very specific tone to it, steamy but very gentle and breezy. Unlike some R&B lotharios, the singer never goes overboard, making this an effortless, steady listen from front to back — a rarity in the world of R&B bedroom albums. Though the raunchy subject matter may turn away some listeners, this is actually a very clever, meticulously crafted album that has been specially designed for maximum enjoyment. If you put it in and let it play at the right time, you are sure to have no complaints.

GREAT SET

I have to say being a male and a Marques Houston, I was impressed with this album. We all know that Mr.Houston was not the best album. He sat back and looked at what he did wrong and came out with Mattress Music.This short but simple set is the best concept album in the last 5 years. He stepped up to the plate. Lets show this man some support because he has 20 years in the game and his albums reflect his growth.This album is for grown ups, NOT FOR CHILDREN.THANKS MARQUES FOR GIVING ME SOMETHING TO PLAY WHEN THE MOOD IS RIGHT.-Rico

Lives uop to the title

Nice work. Slow jams fo' sho'. Good bedroom music.

@ Rick thomas

The 1990s music was the best there was. This new crap is so horrible it is killing r&b and hip hop. We need singers like Marques to keep the real music alive.
