 Oh no. Please no more. Dec 20, 2005
My dissection here will start with a simple rhetorical question. Who exactly is buying the records and watching the video's that keep this guy a viable product? Can I even imagine what a Shawn Desmond fan would look like? Naïve 15 year old girl, going through a brief, choreographed dance stepping, bad boy phase?
Poorly masquerading as a slick R & B crooner, he puts face to the universal, early 20's, High School cruising, suburban dance club Nancy-boy; another racially confused and culturally alienated white kid. Luckily enough for everyone except MuchMusic Canada, this guy will go unnoticed due to his Canadian identity and his rather unfortunate lack of talent and dignity.

Blah May 11, 2005
I can't believe this album got 4 and 5 star reviews. Please save your money on something else. There's far better Canadian "r&b" than this. Get Glenn Lewis instead. He's real r&b.

 Nice Debut for this Brown-Eyed Entertainer Dec 08, 2004
In a genre with similar artists such as JT(Justin Timberlake), Usher and Omarion it's nice to have a talented producer, writer,singer & dancer come onto the scene...he also has an advantage because he's not over-exposed like other artists...Overall,he has a solid debut; but he has time to grow as an artist. My favorite tracks are:
~Just About You~ 6/5 (My favorite on the album;he should do more R-n-B ballads because they fit his voice!
~Couldn't Care Less~ 6/5 (My second favorite...nice pop ballad; I'm a sucker for the ballads!
~Superman~ 4/5 (Another decent pop ballad!)
~Get Ready 4/5 (Uptempo club joint)
~Never Change Me 4/5 (Uptempo club beat)
~Shook 4/5 (Hit single/decent beat/catchy hook)
If you like any of the artists that I mentioned earlier, then you should definitely give this cd a try.

 This CD is awesome Sep 01, 2004
Shawn Desman is good because I like this kind of music.
Best tracks are "Shook", "Never Change Me", "Bow", and "Yoyo".
I hope his next CD becomes available in the US!

 Could be big in the US Apr 04, 2004
Ok....so I go to the movie store to rent a movie (don't even remember which one now) but when the one I want is all checked out, I pick up Kangaroo Jack instead, having no idea what it was going to be like. Besides the fact that it was hilarious, it also had a pretty good soundtrack. One song in particular- Shawn Desman's "Spread my Wings"- stuck in my head and I had to find out who sang it. The next day I bought the album and learned that he is already famous over in Canada. Though I'll admit theres nothing amazing on the album, Shawn does have the potential to one day be big in the US as well.
The ballads are the best part about the album, and the good ones include Spread my wings, Baby stay, and Difference.
The hip hop was no more than ok, and the best hip hop songs were Shook, and Get Ready, both full of club energy and uptempo beats.
The whole album however lacks a little when it comes to lyrics, but overall not a bad attempt for a new artist. The only thing that gets a little annoying throughout the album is his ego. Theres nothing wrong with confidence but before trying to break out into the US music scene he needs to turn it down a few notches first. Overall, I think that its a decent album and Shawn Desman has the abilities to go far after a little bit of work.
