Day26 - Day26

America’s favorite boy band - Brian, Will, Q, Mike, and Robert are back for another season of music, drama, and Diddy on MTV’s hit reality series, "Making The Band 4". The new group, hand-picked by Diddy and collectively known as DAY26, is reunited with surprise solo winner, Donnie, to begin their journey into the music industry. But there’s a new twist…This time around platinum recording artists and winners of Making The Band 3, Danity Kane, join the guys in the same house to begin working on their respective albums. This season features a competition to see which group will finish their album first plus all the drama that Making The Band fans have come to expect: Diddy’s infamous challenges, bitter feuds, and more!

More than anything else, this season focuses on the musical development of DAY26. Their journey kicks off with the fresh new single, "Got Me Going," produced by studio heavyhitter, Mario Winans. In addition to the aforementioned track, the collection features production from The Runners (T.I., Chris Brown, Rick Ross), Jim Bean, Grammy Award-winner Adonis (Diddy, Usher, Danity Kane), and multiple Grammy Award-winner Bryan Michael Cox (Usher, Mary J. Blige, Mariah Carey), featured on Making The Band helming the quintet’s debut single, "Exclusive (No Excuses)." Amazon.com

Cant take it out my CD deck!!!

Diddy is a genius. I bought this cd the day it came out in March and have played it so much it's starting to skip because it's worn out. I'm going to have to buy another one but it's worth every penny. I love every track, I can let it play from beginning to end and then over and over, I can hardly ever make it to the end of the cd though cuz I'm always re-starting tracks. I love Robert and Brian's voices the best. I used to have a hard time telling Q and Willie's voice apart until this season aired and I got to see who sings what on certain songs. Mike has a unforgettable voice also and I wish he was allowed to sing more than just ad-libs on most tracks but like I said Brian and Robert have the best "lead" voices so I understand why they sang lead on most songs. Songs that deserve a special mention are:

Co-Star- This is such a pretty song and I love Robert the most on this
Come In- Love the harmony
Are we in this together- The bridge is my fav part...."Ooh girl I hope you understand, and I hope you listening, placing that rock on your finger girl....that's my mission" LOVE IT!!!
Dont fight the feeling-I always call this "I already know" LOL Mike had his time to shine on this one and did great as did Rob

And I can never get tired of "Got me Going" and "Exclusive" is the song that made us all fall in love with them. I cant wait for a second cd but until then I have no problem listening to this one all day every day. I even have my daughter knowing all the words. 112 used to be my fav guy group back in the day and I'm glad that Day 26 is carrying on the Bad Boy legacy with such good music. I hope they stay around for a long time. October 14, 2008

Universal

I like this album because even though Day 26 are young the songz speak of love,happiness, pleasure and pain let's not forget some party cutz as well that all ages can enjoy. I definetly believe they have all the right elements to be around a while. Buy it and you'll see the proof is in ther pudding! October 8, 2008

Where is the love?

I don't need to go through the song list because I can listen to the whole album from beginning until the end. I will say that "Co-Star", "Don't Fight the Feeling", and "In My Bed" are my joints. It is really a shame that music has changed so much. It used to be about the vibe and the chills you would get from hearing a soulful voice. These days all anybody cares about, is what song they can bounce to. We need to be able to appreciate all forms of music. Just because a song is slow doesn't mean it has to be boring. I think this group is very underrated by the public. There are some great harmonies and individual voices on this album. I think we need to go out and support the R&B groups that we have left because pretty soon they will be an extinct species. I guess I will be forced to listen to crap like Pretty Ricky or the Pussycat Dolls, groups that have 1 lead singer and a bunch of role players. Do yourselves a favor people, go get that Day 26 album and remember what it was like to get your groove on! September 24, 2008

DAY26

I love this album. They did good going to Number One on Billboard. This album gives what R&B fans are missing:seamless, soulful, sincere harmonies and emotional, sexy, straight up banging songs. One listen to this album, you can hear their dedication, talent, and soulfulness. With this album, they have made that move, and the future belongs to them. This album needs better promotion.
