 Ooh So Sexy Dec 15, 2008
I purchased "Bonafide - Jon B." when it came out in 1995 and I totally loved it...still do! This was Jon B.'s debut album and it still holds up well some 13 yrs. later. I've always felt that Jon B. as an R&B artist has stayed true to who he is. He truly deserves to be more appreciated than he is. If your new to Jon B.'s music then a great introduction to it would be "Bonafide". It will really put you in a sexy mood and who wouldn't want to be.
 A mostly winning formula Nov 01, 2007
A passionate, soulful white R&B singer, Jon B. (for Buck) had a gold album the first time out, and not without good reason. His crooning on sensual slow jams like "Pretty Girl" and "Burning 4 You" is smooth as butter and very reminiscient of Babyface, who reportedly had some writing and/or production credits for this album. These types of songs are what Jon B. does best, but unfortunately he tries to have it both ways here, and the formula does turn a little sour when he tries to get hip-hoppish.
BONAFIDE IS GREAT!!!! Jul 26, 2007
While I do like some of the songs on Jon's follow-up cd's, none have come close to the songs on Bonafide! From beginning to end, it is a wonderful ride. The climax of this cd is the truly underrated "Love Don't Do"....I will just say that for anyone who has ever been in love and gotten hurt, this song will definitely speak wonders to your heart! Jon does a lot of ad-libbing towards the end of some of his slower songs which in my opinion brings out a truly unique soulful sensation that is lacking in music today.
Good Debut Jan 02, 2007
Jon B's first CD was what R&B fans had been waiting for. There hadn't been a white male solo singer to get love from the R&B community since Bobby Caldwell. I remember when the CD released in 1997 it featured the huge single Someone To Love and also featured the exclllent ballads Time After Time and Pretty Girl. Jon B released three more excllent CD'S after this and has a new one due in 2007.
Classic Dec 16, 2006
Jon B is a wonderful musician. He isn't in need of any help for big name producers who are trying to mold and shape the next big thing or take their cut off the top before the album even drops; simply because he writes, produces, and sings his own material. It's a great album and a must-have in your collection, and even though it was his first album; it was a great beginning.
Favorite tracks: Pretty Girl, Isn't It Scary, Pants Off, and Love Don't Do.
