국내외 차트를 석권한 히트곡 『I LIKE SEXY GIRL』의 주인공이자 부드럽고 멜로딕한 R&B의 대표주자 "JOE" 의 2007년 신작"머라이어 캐리"와 함께 한 『THANKS GOD I FOUND YOU』로 국내에 본격적으로 이름을 알리기 시작한 부드럽고 멜로디가 충만한 R&B의 대표주자 "JOE"의 신작. 『I LIKE SEXY GIRL』과 같은 국내 광고 삽입곡을 통해 높은 판매고와 폭발적인 반응을 얻어 낸 그가 4년만에 선보이는 신작에는 "NAS", "YOUNG BUCK", "PAPOOSE", "DRE" 등의 래퍼등이 참여해 더욱 충실한 사운드를 만들어낸다. 타의 추종을 불허하는 매력적인 음성과 기교는 『IF I WAS YOUR MAN』같은 아름다운 발라드에 윤기를 더하고, "나스" 함께 한 『GET TO KNOW ME』같은 곡에 리듬감을 더했다. R&B와 힙합, 소울이 함께 어우러진 "조"의 최신작이자 그의 음악세계가 결집된 수작. [AIN’T NOTHIN’ LIKE ME]는 결론부터 이야기하자면 "조"의 과거와 현재의 모습을 총괄하는 집합체로서의 역할에 충실했다고 할 수 있겠다. 초기 1~2집을 좋아했던 과거의 향수어린 마니아들에게도, 그리고 전작 [AND THEN...]부터 조를 알게 되었을 젊은 층의 블랙 뮤직 팬들에게도 충분히 어필할 만한 매력을 지녔다. 음악적으로 전작과 크게 달라진 노선은 없지만, 힙 합의 요소를 보다 늘렸으며, 트랙의 배치나 악기군 구성에서도 보다 신경을 써 자칫 이러한 장르의 음반들이 가져다 줄 지도 모르는 지루함을 배제하려 노력한 흔적이 여실히 드러난다. 『GET TO KNOW ME』와 『AIN'T NOTHIN' LIKE ME』에 각각 힘을 보탠 나스"NAS"와 영 벅"YOUNG BUCK" 등 게스트들의 등장도 이러한 양질의 결과물을 낳은 동인이 되었으며, 저메인 듀프리"JERMAINE DUPRI"와 브라이언 마이클 콕스"BRIAN MICHAEL COX", 션 가렛"SEAN GARRETT"의 도움도 적지 않은 플러스 요인이 됐다. 전체적으로는 R&B를 기반으로 힙 합과 소울, 업 템포 리듬 등이 버무려진 작품이라 할 수 있겠으며, 음악적으로도 대중적으로도 결코 모자람이 없는 수작이라 해도 무리가 없다. 현재의 젊은 친구들에게는 『GET TO KNOW ME』와 『AIN'T NOTHIN' LIKE ME』 등이 좋은 반응을 얻어낼 듯 싶지만, 『IF I WAS YOUR MAN』이나 『IT'S ME』, 『FEEL FOR YOU』처럼 80년대 흑인 팝의 색깔을 부분적으로 머금은 트랙들에 주목해 보길. "조"의 매력적이고 감성적인 보이스는 이러한 스타일의 곡에서 가장 표면적으로 드러난다. .... ....

Love is just a game Oooh ooh ooh ooh yeah yeah yeah (telling you) x4
Baby? You cant keep doing this shit? Oh oh, love is just a game? Oh, listen babe?
Quit playing around, like it's a game, You tell me to go, you tell me to stay, Living with you is emotional, Roller coaster ride, like you're just gone and hide,
Crossing the T's, and dotting the I's, Trying to make it work but you won't let me, It's like you're fighting with your self, But baby I can tell, that you really don't wanna leave,
(chorus) Love is a game for you, I see, but it means a lot more to me, To ride it out when the going gets rough, Then she closed the first real love, Can't keep playing around with me, If you really don't want me to leave,
Cos if love is a game, then I don't wanna play, Cos there's someone out there for me,
Love is just a game?
Heard you were on the phone just the other day, Talking to your girls, telling you that I'm leaving, If you didn't mean it then why did you say it, Cos love it ain't a game to me,
I'm packing my bags here I go again, Wanna kick me out, ok, well I'm leaving, And with those shorties came, so baby tell me What's it gonna be,
CHORUS
I'm tired of all the fussing, and the fighting We can't keep, just going on this way So tired babe and angry, You hurting me over and over again, You making me wanna leave, U don't understand just what you're doing to me Maybe we're not meant to be,
[DJ Intro] ladies and gentleman id like to take yall back back to the future when we used to slow jam at the parties so fellas grab your lady and take her to the dance floor you already know
[Joe] I remember when we had so much trust and nobody couldnt become between us do you remember now you listening to he said she said and they keep putting thoughts in your head all the time

girl you should know me know me by now I would die before I hurt you you should know me know me and I will never let you down
you believe that ive been getting down
with your friend when youre not around now why would I do it baby I dont deny that there is some attraction but they lie about my reactions I could never never hurt you baby never never never
