Four years after his debut release, Poly Sci, John Forté returned with a substantially different album titled I, John. Unlike his fun debut, this album takes a more serious approach to music-making. Anyone who heard Poly Sci will find the high level of introspection quite surprising. No longer is Forté partying with the Fugees and rap superstars such as DMX and Fat Joe. Rather, Forté works with co-writer Joel Kipnis and accomplished yet low-profile artists such as Tricky, Esthero, and Herbie Hancock on I, John. Furthermore, he throws the rules out the window, making his own style of music rather than the hot sound of the moment. ~ Jason Birchmeier, All Music Guide
