Outline
With an "alright, this time it's for real" promise, Toby Mac turns the keys of the ignition and hits the gas on Portable Sounds, his third and most impressive solo effort to date. The musician-producer sounds more confident and comfortable than ever before, deftly mixing elements of rap, rock, pop, R&B, funk, and even a little reggae into a deliciously creative entre. Some of the "joints on this record" - as Toby Mac's boy TruDog calls them - fall more into one style or another. Yet the world party sound that Toby Mac introduced on his previous Diverse City is built upon here with the opening "One World" as well as "No Ordinary Love." Pop flavors more tracks than before with guitar-driven numbers like "Made to Love," "I'm For You," and the infectious "Suddenly." Fans will also be pleased as TruDog is indeed back on the ridiculously cute "Hype Man." Urgent rockers like "Ignition" and the silky smooth "Lose My Soul" give even more spice and variety to liven up an already electric mix. The latter track is finely tuned with guest vocals from Kirk Franklin and Toby Mac pal Mandisa. Much like Sting, Toby Mac has transcended a former identity (as part of the D.C. Talk super group) and grown into an artist worthy of merit on his own. Portable Sounds stands up to repeated listens with a fresh and energetic sound and a buoyant and unapologetic joy seldom heard. --Michael Lyttle

 | Portable Sounds by Tobymac Sounds Like A Huge Hit! Mar 29, 2007 |
Mama always said if you don't have something good to say about somebody don't say anything at all, so what do you say, let's give TobyMac some loving. I must admit that I don't normally do this sort of thing, but after listing to TobyMac's last CD Welcome To Diverse City I must give credit where credit is due. Diverse City played more like TobyMac had put out about 10 albums over a 10 year period and this was his greatest hits compilation rather than a collection of new material. In other words every song sounded like it had hit potential. On his new CD Portable Sounds TobyMac doesn't disappoint. Once again every song sounds like a possible hit, but the unique thing about TobyMac is where will these hits land, because these song's appeal to such a diverse crowd that they could land as a Christian Rock hit, R&B hit, Rap hit, funk hit, Top 40 radio hit, they could land just about anywhere. Put simply if you can't find a few songs to love on Welcome To Diverse City or Portable Sounds then you are not a fan of popular music today and that's a glorious achievement in my book, "Awesome!" job TobyMac.

First of all,I don't get what people don't like about this album.Okay,it's not his best but,it's still good.I think it's better than diverse city but,not as good as momentum.Below I put a song-to-song review.
1.One world 4/5 A good hip-hop number,gets a little annoying.
2.Made to love 5/5 The first single off this album,and one of the best songs on here.
3.Boomin' 5/5 An awesome hard rock,hip-hop song,simply amazing.
4.I'm for you 5/5 A pop influenced song,good message.
5.Face of the earth 5/5 A slow song he wrote to someone he hasn't saw in a while.
6.No ordinary love 5/5 What can I say?This is
great.
7. Ignition 3/5 This song is average,kinda good,kinda bad.
8.Hype man.5/5 A hilarious song with truett.
9.Suddenly 3/5 Again,just average.
10.All in 3/5 Another pop song.
11.Feelin' so fly 4/5 A good song,I don't listen to it much.
12.No signal 5/5 A good interclude where he can't get no signal on his cell phone.
13.Lose my soul 5/5 A perfect song with 2 guest singers.
Thanks for reading this and I hope you found it helpful. | | |  | Decent, nothing more. Mar 19, 2007 |
| I'm a big fan of Toby. Lately, his music has gone downhill. This album was a HUGE disappointment to me. The commercial pop stuff doesn't sound like TobyMac. It's very watered down beats and tired lyrics. There are a couple of good songs, but I doubt I'll ever put this album back in the CD Player. dc Talk was his prime, Momentum was rockin, Diverse City was good. This, however, utter disappointment. | | | | tobyMac Does it again!! Mar 19, 2007 |
| I didn't start listening to tobyMac until December of '06, but I fell in love with his music IMMEDIATELY! In early March I got (portable sounds) and loved it. "Boomin'" was the song that I like best. I don't really listen to much rock, and my aunt described the song as 'Heave Metal'...hey, it it's Toby, who cares?! "Lose My Soul" is the next best; it really talks about the pressure, not only a music artist confronts, but the pressure that everyone faces in everyday life. The pressure to fit in and do what other people expect; I think the song is almost like Shawn Macdonald's "Free" (Another great song). "Ignition" is another 'Heavy Metal song, and another great song. My younger (four y/o) brother's fave song is "Hype Man (truDog '07)". I think that the truDog songs are a little immatureish (if that's a word). The song "Suddenly" really deals with a family falling apart, and that can be tough to deal with, but toby knows how it feels, and his song "Stories" (From Welcome to Diverse City) also deals with the same issue. No matter what other reviewers say....I'm a hardcore tobyMac fan, and will always stick by him, and his music. | | | Write your own review about Portable Sounds
