Bow Wow - Wanted
Multi-platinum music, film and television powerhouse, Bow Wow is back with his fourth album for Sony BMG. Now 18-years-old, Bow Wow says 'Wanted' is the sound of him 'maturing' and yet staying 'himself'.
It's also the sound of an individual commitment to making 'good music' for his fans.
'Every one in hip-hop talks about staying real and what that means to me is staying down to earth, not getting cocky,' Bow Wow says.
The album sees the re-teaming of Bow Wow with superstar producer and mogul Jermaine Dupri.
While 2003's UNLEASHED, executive produced by Bow Wow, ushered in the artist's mature new style, this time around Bow Wow knew he 'Wanted' to get back together with Dupri. Proof of their winning combination is on songs like the hard-hitting 'Do You.' There are also a number of high-wattage global stars on 'Wanted'.
'Caviar' is a slinky southern-fried jam that features Bow Wow and Snoop Dogg (who appeared on Bow's debut). Another high profile collaboration is 'Like You' featuring Ciara. 'It's a girl's song and I always make sure that I do something for the ladies because they've always been so supportive,' says Bow Wow.
Another standout is 'Go' which Bow Wow declares an upbeat, crunk record that 'is for the kids'.
'Wanted' sees Bow Wow taking a major hand in the song and music writing, making it an extremely personal experience.
