The fifth studio album, released by Jamla Records, coincides with the final adventure for the duo Murs & 9th Wonder. Five albums in eight years, two a year from 2004 to 2012, it's right to close their firm. The boys remain faithful to the formula of ten songs without skits, thirty-seven minutes, and internal guests, with Rapsody the only rapper to perform: she kills the cut on a boom bap with fresh drum and chopped and looped chipmunk soul sample, obscuring the other performer. Murs is working here in order to close the pentalogy, however, the difference with respect to the records in which he doesn't commit isn't felt and this is a big problem of the project. 9th Wonder sounds better than two years ago, here he also guesses numerous rhythms ("Get Together", "Dance With Me", "Tale of Two Cities", "Wherever You Are"), maintaining its typical soulful production and several good-level chipmunk soul extracts: with a competent rapper an interesting album would have come out, while Murs instead spits dull, weak, with a soporific flow worth of a retired, anchored to his favorite topic. Among the best rhythms, "Tale of Two Cities" stands out: soulful production, dusty elegant piano, poor drum, short light smooth sax that intrudes into the beat. 5/10.
