Flo Rida has proved he can make a hit single as his song, “Low”, featuring T-Pain, is a constant staple pretty much everywhere, breaking records by selling a ridiculous amount of digital downloads on iTunes. The question is, can he make it through a whole album? The answer is yes, although there are quite a few things the album is lacking.

Mail On Sunday starts off with “American Superstar” featuring, surprise, surprise, Lil’ Wayne. It’s an ode to the life of a rap superstar, the downfalls and the indulgences. While not a lyrical masterpiece, it is without a doubt catchy, so Flo Rida does score points for that.

“Elevator”, the thinly veiled sex track for the ladies, featuring super producer Timbaland is again, a catchy track, which will without a doubt be a club staple. Lyrics? Nothing worth talking about but it’s a pretty sure bet you’ll see this song on the top 10 soon enough. The beat is vintage Timbaland and sounds like it could have been used on Justin Timberlake’s album so if you’re into that, you’ll love this.

Next up is “Roll”, another future billboard charter featuring Sean Kingston. Kingston provides a catchy hook while Flo Rida delivers more party lyrics for the ladies. “All My Life” is another stand out track, only this time Flo Rida has some substance as he discusses how he got to the top, even throwing in a few slick lines like, “Had to do it by myself/No sugar to borrow”.On “Money Right” featuring Rick Ross, it’s more of the same feel good music with a couple of hot lines in the mix for good measure like “Stick it in Venus/ Tell Serena she could train”.

The album doesn’t have too many blatant weak spots but there are a few. “Don’t Know How to Act” featuring Yung Joc is a clone of pretty much ever track on Yung Joc’s first album, definitely not a good look. Another misstep is “In The Ayer” featuring will.i.am. Put on “Low” and this track at the same time and I’ll bet you won’t be able to tell the difference.

“Freaky Deaky”, featuring Trey Songz, is an alright song, it’s a standard track for the ladies, but do you really need a track for the ladies when the whole album is for the ladies? The overall negatives and positives are as follows. Every track on Mail On Sunday sounds the same. Every track is bouncy, with a sing-songy hook, followed by lyrics about women, money, and the like. I mean seriously, I’ve never heard an album where so many songs sound so much alike.

On a positive note, Flo Rida will sell about 8 trillion ringtones and digital downloads. Also, at 14 tracks long, each and every song on this album could be a single, even the bad ones. So, overall, what can I say about Mail On Sunday? It’s definitely a good debut effort and will definitely get a Flo Rida a huge following but if my advice meant anything, I would tell Flo Rida that taking chances once in a while wouldn’t hurt.
