Omarion has been with the music industry for a good 5 years now, but he popped on the scene with a group by the name of B2K, B2K had been a big hit, until they had broke up at the end of the 2003 Year, after the second hit album Pandemonium. Now there aren't very many signs that B2K is getting back together, but that didn't stop the lead singer Omarion to make his Solo Album Debut O. O is the first Solo Album from Omarion without the help of his B2K buddies. This is how I feel Omarion did on his average Solo Debut.

1. I wish- This song is fantastic, and a very great Album Opener, it has a good meaning and is just joy to listen to, it is definately one of my favorites on the album. 10/10.

2. Touch- Said to be Omarion's second single, this would make an extremely good single, and with the beat produced by the Neptunes, you know that it would be a hit..an excellent song, and very nice sexy song from Omarion right here for the ladies! 10/10

3. O- Well O is obviously the single that had me to buy the Album. I thouht the Song was great, and definately put Omarion's Vocal abilities on the map. This song was just pure singing..the beat actually did nothing for me. A really well made track here! 10/10

4. I'm Tryna- This is said to be Omarions third single, but I would question this song as a single, but since it is Omarion, it may do well, but if it was someone else it wouldn't do well. I am not really feelin' this song all that much, the beat is just to plain, and the lyrics are kind of childish so Kind of a Lame filler track to me. 5/10

5. Drop that Heater- Wow how sexy this song is! The Beat was produced by Rodney Jerkins(the same person who produced Destiny's Child's "Loose My Breath". So you know that the song is Hot! This would definatly make a great single, once again the lyrics are kind of Childish, but the production on the track makes up for it, and also Omarions Vocals. 9/10

6. Growing Pains- A very Deep song here in my opinion, very very very nice production on this track, the production is so nice and sensual, and the lyrics and Omarions voice is extremely good! And I like the Message he is talking about, and it is really catchy. Would make an Excellent Single, and one of the best on the Album. 10/10

7. Take it Off- Another track with a Club Banger beat. This song is really nasty and Sexy...I LOVE IT! This is my favorite song on the Album, and has Single potential written all over it, if it were a single it would definately be a hit..I know that for a fact! Great Job on this Omarion Great Lyrics(aside from the cussing) and great Vocals. 10/10

8. Never Gonna Let you go(She's a Keepa) Feat. Big Boi- O My gosh! I cant stand this song, I really can't it is by far the worst song on the Album in my opnion. The beat is extremely annoying, and omarions high pitched voice is really annoying. The only thing good about this song are the lyrics, the lyrics are above alot of other songs on his album, but other than that it isn't worthy. Alot of People like this song, and think it is great, it was even supposed to be his first single but they changed it to O, which I was extremely happy about. This song would have done nothing for album sales. Horrible Horrilbe song, and an Album Filler. 2/10.

9. I Know- Very nice Sexy song once again. A very nice like Japense Beat. Very mature lyrics and whatnot. A very good song from Omarion here, and very nice vocals. The only complaint I have about the song is it is kind of like Preppy. He is all like, I know that I want me, and that you need me and I am better than him. But other than that it is a very awesome song. Single Potential. 8/10

10. I'm Gon Change- This is by far one of the best songs on the Album. An extremely Mature song. Heck it is the most mature song on the Album. I Think his older brother Marques Houston helped him with this one. It really sounds like a song he would make. It is a very nice song, and just a great song to listen to. 10/10.

11. In the Dark- This is also a song where Omarions vocals just take it, the beat really doesn't do anything. Obviously the title kind of tells you that the song would be about Sex, and that is correct. It is about sex, and a very nice sex song at that, very mature lyrics once again. Very Nice sensual song. 9/10.

12. Slow Dancin'- Another Slow Song off the Album, and not a very great one, but it isn't bad. Omarion just sounds kind of wierd and just seems like he doesnt want to sing this song. And he doesn't sound like himself. I do like the lyrics, but the beat and his vocals just make the song kind of sad, but it has a pretty good chorus though, which pretty much saves the song. But once again it's not bad, but it's not good, just average. 6/10

13. Fiening You- This song kind of has a beat like I know, which is once again extremely good. The lyrics are very mature and whatnot, but Omarions Vocals once again sound really odd, but it doesnt sound bad. A good way to end the album off, not the best song on the album, but far from the least. 8/10

107/130= 82% Which is a B average. Not to Shabby for a solo album I must say.
Omarion wanted to Prove that he was all grown up on this album, and wanted to prove that he is not a teenage icon anymore. He wants to show that he is a grown man, and can be just as a good singer, and have a good album like anyone else. I say it was a very good Effore from Omarion, and I am looking foward to more of his Work.

Top Songs on O:
I wish
Touch
O
I'm gon' change
Drop that Heater
Take it off

Those 6 songs were the TOP! Highlight of the Album, I would Recommend this album for anyone. Weather if you are a party goer, or just want to relax, this Album has it all, you will be suprised what Omarion can do to impress his listeners.

I was really surprised! This is a great debut album from former B2K member Omarion Grandberry. The album truly has something for everyone. Since he was formerly a member of a teen pop/r&b group I was expecting a bubblegum kind of album, but the album has quite a lot of depth and similar to other reviewers have mentioned the album has it's share of club bangers and slow jamz. Some of the better uptempo songs inlcude "Touch," "Drop That Heater," and "Never Gonna Let You Go" featuring Big Boi froum Outkast. This is a really great song and I hope it is released as a single. On the song "Growing Pains," one can assume Omarion is addressing the break-up of his former group B2K. And also as mentioned, he gets a little mature in the song "Take It Off." It's a really great album and it will be in rotation a lot more than some of the other albums I have purchased this summer. Omarion is a very young man but I think in the next few years he will be respected in the game more along the lines of the respect that Mario and Usher recieve.

One thing that can be said about O is the fact that it does have its high points. "O" itself is the star track of the album and proved to be a wise first single. "I Wish" and "Touch" are also strong selections. "Take It Off" is good, but it opens up another can of worms about the album in general. This album has too many "ghetto" references not to recieve an explicit label, specifically in "Take it off" where he says "a n---- really trying to f--- with you". He also comments "I love when you're doing that s--- for me". That is really inappropriate for an unlabeled album and one that will most likely appeal to teens. On that same note, Omarion tries to grow up too much from his B2K days (just as other young stars are such as Mario, Marques Houston, Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, etc...). This debut could've stood up better without all the cursing. Also, it is just a bit too urban for my blood. If you are looking for the best contemporary R&B artists I suggest Mario's album (which is better than this by a mile), and Usher's album, which surpasses most of the competition. 2.5 stars.

I had no idea when I purchased this CD that he was in the group B2K, since I was never a fan of them. I think that will probably work against him here on this CD.
With the whole B2K thing aside it is an "ok" CD. Nothing spectacualar on here to speak of. Filled with slow jams about love and trying to get a girl or get some booty. Kind of something that seems to be WAY too repetitive for newly solo R&B artists (male) these days. It's not a stand out style by any means. I was hoping for a little more upbeat/clubbin' tracks but, again, mostly all slow jams. They are mediocre at best. He has a decent voice but nothing to pine over. I think this is a CD geared more towards the ladies.
The 2 tracks that I feel standout here are: "O" and the club bumper: "Drop That Heater"
Other than that it does not have too much originality to it.

I'm quite a fan of Omarion. B2K i think was one of the few boy bands in our era that are ACTUALLY very good. So when I heard Omarion was going to have a solo album I was one of da first to cop his album. He's been in the music industry for some years so he kinda knows what to write about. His album was lil' bit above average but being lil' bit TOO mature bout it.

I Wish- This song produced by Corna Boys is an upbeat catchy song. Very catchy chorus "I I wish I didn't love you" This could have been very good single material. The lyrics are also very conservative. 9/10

Touch- At first this song I thought was very like a dance song. It's very great at first but after a while it gets quite boring. The music video concept ok i guess. But, the talkin after the chorus is REALLLY stupid though. 7.5/10

O- This song is what ALL the teenage gurlz in the world will love. This slow jam is a nice slow tempo. Hell this is the reason WHY i bought it :) The lyrics are sexual but not that sexual at the same time. Probably the best song in the whole album. 11/10

I'm Tryin'- This song is pretty good because when it first came out I absoutly HATED it. The lyrics are deeply moving but simple at the same time. The part hate though is the I'm trynna act like I can do without feeling on your booty
Find another ghetto cutie
To do me like you do me yeah yeah part it kinda sucks. 8/10

Drop That Heater- I think this song is something that B2K would sing. It's not that great but's it's not a filler. The beat reminds me like Teairra Mari's No Daddy. The lyrics are not the beat but itz average. 7.5/10

Growing Pains- I thought his vocal's were over da top on this song. It's very autobiographical (well cause it was produced by Marques Houston) Great CD track not for the media since it's personal. 9/10

Take It Off- Omarion tries to act gangsta and tries to get some hood in him but it sounds really desparate club banguh. The only thing good thing is Mila J's rap and even THAT isn't good. 5/10

Never Gonna Let You Go(She's A Keepa)- Big Boi produced this song so it's pretty good .Omarion is average on this while Big Boi's rap is great as well. The beat is kinda jazzy mixed wyth R&B. 8/10

I Know- This stinks. I heard the first 20 seconds of it and I just skipped it, This is even worse that Take It Off. 4/10

I'm Goin Change- NOW this is what I'm talking bout. This what he's should be singin instead of those fake gangsta songs. His vocals are exceptional on this. The beat is slow-paced and great.8/10

In The Dark- A slow jam that matches him. Very average his vocals are great But I absoutly LOVE the chorus cuz he sounds really lovin and all that. 8.5/10

Slow Dancin'- Apart O this is one of da BEST songs in the whole album. It's very romantic and a great slow song for the couple out there. It's very laidback and quite listenable. 10/10

Fiening You- This sounds like a filler to me. I don't even get what fiening means HAHA But, his lyrics slow yet romantic at the same time. 8.5/10
