The-Dream is still catchy on latest album

First, there was "Love Hate," then there was "Love vs. Money," and now with "Love King," The-Dream proves he hasn't lost his knack for catchy hooks and hypnotic bass lines. Like the album titles, the latest disc from the "Radio Killa" is an offshoot of The-Dream's earlier work.

That means a generous use of auto-tune, and off-kilter, if not, downright awful lyrics.

"You can't match a love like mine. It's like trying to rob me with a BB-gun. But my love gets it poppin' like the Taliban," he sings on "Sex Intelligent."

The-Dream hasn't sunk to a new low; he's never been known to make classics. Those who didn't write him off several hit songs ago will likely have an ear out for his latest batch of songs, including "Sex Intelligent (Remix)."

The title track and second single, "Make Up Bag," featuring T.I. could qualify as instant favorites. But "Yamaha" -- which sounds like a spin on Prince's "Little Red Corvette" -- could be a tougher sell.

CHECK THIS TRACK OUT: As usual, The-Dream picks up the pieces where lesser romantics fail, promising to make a woman "fall in love again" on the energetic, keyboard-driven "F.I.L.A."
