Jordin Sparks is finally making GOOD music. She has a few okay pop songs, but this transition into R&B is proving to be a winner sonically for her. Set to appear on her upcoming album Right Here Right Now, "Work From Home" starts off as a smokey slow jam, before handclaps and bass kick in, taking the record to another level. Jordin channels her inner Aaliyah vocally, trading in her powerful belts for a sensual falsetto and lush harmonies. Rapper B.O.B lends some freaky bars towards the end including the clever, I get laid while they get laid off, line. This is by far the former American Idol star's best song in my opinion. Now here's hoping her team agrees and "Work From Home" becomes the next single (Lord knows this album needs some promo). All in all, I'm loving the direction Ms. Sparks is headed in and am eager to see what unfolds next. Put in overtime below.
