    Refreshing!!! I’m not mad @ the brother! For music production please visit http://www.ProducedByiQ.com

    The video is very dramatic but I like the sound of his voice.

  4. YELLOW DIAMOND SHAWTY!!

    IS HE REALLY DOIN THIS?

  5. Black Doll

    It’s ok! I Like it
    !

    I guess it’s true what they say…”you can’t have hazel eyes and a golden voice”! Terrence should stick with the “Men’s Annual Day Chior”! That was a wasted major production. I hope those were actors and not real musicians.

    “ha ha ha ha ha ha…”Living like Casanova was living” WTH???

    “It’s all right if part of your life you been a run away” and
    “It’s all right if part of yo life you been looking for me” WTH???

    Now you count on me!

    This is a joke…right?

    Is he trying to be like Robin Thicke and singing like a little girl at the end?

  7. allieyah

    there’s something i just don’t like about him but i’m not sure what it is…but my mom has a crush on him!! but he has a nice breathy voice….like producedbyiq (#1) said…it’s refreshing

  8. Gift From a Virgo

    His voice is nice, but im not into him like that… I really don’t know what to say when I see this…

  9. Oatmeal for breakfast

    Terrence Howard = Terrence Trent D’arby.

  10. allieyah

    @ #5…wow those lyrics don’t make any kinda sense…yea and & the end i hate his voice…uh i think i might have to change my mind

  11. Meat

    @ #9 lol Terrence, Tyra and Eddie Murphy all gave it a try, but everyone can’t be like Jamie, Rihanna and Beyonce.

  12. KSH

    It’s nothing I could listen too on the regular but it would sound good as piece to play as the backdrop of an episode of “Grey’s Anatomy” or “ER”

  13. Karlita

    LOL @ #11. You hit the nail right on the head.

  14. DDAI

    i didnt know that the dude could sing !
    CONGRATS TERRENCE FROM A FRENCH GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  15. white out

    I still like it… it’s raw, he’s just living his dream singing!

    hmmmm at lyrics…. sounds like poetry to me which is what any good lyrics should be… uh runaway part of your life (from love) and you’ve been looking for the right person (which is him) hmmm not hard to decipher…. sanctuary of his arms yeah I think pretty easy… sometime when things are too deep they go over your head esp when you are used of lyrics like “supersoak that hoe” lol… I’m just saying…lol

  16. danDan

    THIS MUSIC WOULD SELL SOME NICE TOILET TISSUE OR A CAR… :D

    no insult, cos they make lots of cash off those kinds of things…

    it’s cruising music, u know?

    music u can talk to ur friends over, cos it wont disturb you…

    yeah…

    i don’t much fancy him either, ever seeing his bum jiggling around in Get Rich or Die Trying… I respect him as an actor

    :D

  17. KIA

    I’m not sure what to think about Terrence yet.

    For real Meat, Rihanna? I know you are not putting Rihanna in a group with Jamie and Beyonce. LMAO!

  18. I talk, You listen

    um its different, i think we should put people in a box, if he has the opportunity to do music along with movies then power to him, this seems more artisic than comercial, its good, but i think we tend to want it to be bad become it is coming from someone who we know as something else…give it a chance.

    oh and lyrics don’t always have to be straight forward and direct, they can be abstract..

  19. Meat

    @#16 You sound really deep! How long you been deciphering?

  20. thoro

    Good Music and arrangement. It is good to hear something different once in a while! Do the dam thing! Terrance! Artists are usually good @ a number of things!

  21. (_!+0

    he cant be serious with this material…even if he does sell out venues, (which i doubt)
    there will be a bunch of middle-aged women in the crowd…shoot, he might even have some geriatrics in the crowd….one word: NEXT!!

  22. Miss T

    Wow! people are always sooo quick to judge eh? so its different? get over it…

    Good luck with your album Terrence…

    @ 16 good job on the lyrics

  23. Meat

    18. @KIA: Here’s the thing about Rihanna…! She is definetly getting over with her music…like her voice or not, she has a strong base following. And, she a kick-ass model!! The girl gives good face and body. She’s legit in both venues – music and modeling.

  24. STUPID PEOPLE

    THROW T-PAIN ON THE REMIX AND HE’LL BE PLATINUM.

  25. Huh?

    Seriously?….I don’t really get it; the whole actor turned singer thing, the weird lyrics…I just don’t know about this

  26. Chloway- fell out wiv mary-jane, i dont speak 2 lois lane...

    Lol wtf man :O, ppl jus like dat song coz he’s good lukin, ye his gt a nice husky voice but das it! dat video woz juz painful 2 wotch, he should juz stick 2 acting, y ruin wot hes gt now? @ 25…nah he should throw Kanye west onda remix, if Estelle can do it wid american boy, ne1 can.

  27. Rae of Stuffflypeoplelike.com

    I’m gonna vote NO on this one.

  28. Dame(The Real Singers Are Back)

    Nope again is he serious?

  29. ms. j

    i really think terrence can sing…it’s like a smooth, raspy voice. i would buy the album- it sounds like something i would listen to in the car on a mellow day. terrence gets my vote.

  30. Ladyssolady

    LOL @ #10! I totally agree, #13.

  31. Coffi

    I dont know why but I just started laughing as soon as he started singing. I was good until that very moment. I dont know, not my kind of music

  32. cookie

    um…did i just listen to the same thing as everyone else?

  33. CUBEVISION

    it must be hard out here for a pimp lol dis is the same guy hu made hustle and flow tryna gt sentimental wid it jks

  34. brwncrayola

    I think it sort of come out of left field, that’s why I’m a bit shocked by this album dropping on Sept 2nd especially with Missy and Michelll’s album being pushed back.

    I can’t hate I like this song, I wish he wouldn’t have pushed it with the guitar, because clearly he is not playing. He sort of reminds me of Seal. His album would go nice a steamy bubble-bath and some aroma candles… :)

  35. Wa_Me_Say

    He should cut his losses early and cancel this whole music thing.

    I prefer him on screen.

  36. Lady B

    He need to stick to his day job, and so does Solange.

  37. myja

    seems a bit rushed, sep? we just heard two single within two days. love terrence but thats not a good move, wheres the promo and hype, i think he should of made moves like jamie…and speaking of jamie its time for round two, wheres the new cd when is the drop date?

  38. Ohio Chic

    Booooo Boo. Baby go get mama’s broom

  39. The Artist Herself

    HATED IT

  40. wtf

    my ears are bleeding…WHY terrence why?!
    *victimized by a deadly weapon- terrence’s elevator music*

    “It’s all right if part of your life you been a run away”…i think Terrence Howard just mind f*cked me and i don’t appreciate it…

  41. Gav

    he sounds like a cross of hootie (darius rucker) and dave matthews

  42. gg boo

    hey – does anyone remember the Tony Rich Project?

    He’s not quite as raspy, but the acoustics, etc..are similar -

    And nobody knoooows it but me!

  43. smmb

    It took me a minute to come up with something to even say. Maybe he’ll appeal to the middle age white audience? I guess I still don’t know what to say.

  44. smmb

    Actually I just I do know what to say “Terrance’s ass is “fishin” and he needs to go somewhere and sit down and be still.

  45. KOKO

    It sounds okay.. I like it..

  46. D-Most

    Dig a hole quickly and throw this in it. If you hurry people might not ever realized you made a fool of yourself!!! GO!!

  47. Where are the REAL MUSIC LOVERS?

    Here we go again!! Someone has to always hate on the next one.. There is more than bull making your perm sweat out in on on hour type MUSIC..

  48. FallBackHaters

    LMAO why does the three girls remind me of The Dreamettes from Dreamgirls?

    Anywhop Terrence actually has a cool voice. To be honest it’s not really my cup of tea, but some others may like it.

  49. MAI03

    It’s alright…lol at the comments.

  50. misskdc

    I love him as an actor, but as a singler not so much. He is not a triple threat! lol

  51. Theworldwillendin2012

    Lmao, u guyz r so wrong 4 this, let the man do his thing, although i couldn’t really watch the video till the end.

  52. shuan
