- Dirty south rapper Chingy returns with Hate It Or Love It. Nappy Afro compares Chingy to Nick Cannon, Ja Rule and Nelly because “no matter what success they've had musically in the past, no matter what they try to do now, most of the hip hop world looks at them as lames.” DJBooth.net echoes those sentiments, calling Chingy's latest “not interesting enough to truly be hated" and "not deserving of love.”
- R&B singer Jaheim releases his fourth album, The Makings Of A Man. Billboard.com loves the album's “mature, introspective stance," a departure from the "'thug R&B' tag inspired by his 2001 debut." R&Bmusicblog laments the album's "lack of depth and creativity" but admits that “R&B really needs a voice like his right now."
- Rivers Cuomo, leader of rock band Weezer, unearths his first solo album, Alone: The Home Recordings Of Rivers Cuomo. Popmatters thinks the demo collection is only for hard core Weezer fans: “It shows Rivers Cuomo disarmed and open, doing what he loves. Sometimes it succeeds marvelously. Sometimes it fails." Pitchforkmedia loves the collection of “goofy and indulgent ideas" that "[remind] us why we fell for dorks with horn-rimmed glasses and flying-V guitars in the first place."
- French-Canadian diva Celine Dion delivers her 34th album, Taking Chances. Rolling Stone rips the "remarkably ugly" album and its title: “That's like a Zac Efron musical called Making Cops S*** Their Pants, or a Lil Wayne mix tape titled Bumming Bus Fare From My Mom." The BBC defends the pop veteran, suggesting her latest "doesn’t quite do what the title suggests, but it does push Celine Dion to the edge of her comfort zone and show an artist who not only wants to remain relevant but is prepared to work hard to stay that way."
