In my opinion, if he gave the song to a pop artist like Justin Timberlake, we probably would have heard it covered on Glee at some point. Quite honestly, “I Hate U” is a testament to Tank’s songwriting ability. The heartbreak motif appears on “I Hate U,” and anyone who has ever experienced heartbreak can relate. Tank finds time to set the mood with “My Body” and avoids becoming vulgar.

However, I wish it were broken up into one song and then two interludes placed somewhere else on the album. Now, I understand what Tank was going for from an artistic standpoint, and it is still a great song. Tank then changes the tempo and takes it to the dance floor for about two minutes before taking us back into ballad territory.

Sex, Love & Pain opens with “Coldest.” For the first two and half minutes of the song, listeners receive a eutrophic slow jam that could stand alone on its own as an expletory interlude.

I remember you couldn’t go anywhere in the spring of 2007 without hearing that song, and it was the perfect ‘return to form’ for Tank. The first single was the passionate ballad “Please Don’t Go”, about a man trying his best to get his woman back. Tank’s third album, Sex, Love & Pain, hit stores on May 15, 2007. He also found the time to bless songstress Fantasia, Monica, and Kelly Rowland with his pen game. Instead of oversaturating the market, Tank found time to perfect his writing craft by penning hits for the likes of Dave Hollister, Brian McKnight, Jamie Foxx, and Marques Houston. Tank already had a substantial fan base following his first two albums, Forces of Nature and One Man. For this week’s Second Listen Sunday, I decided to revisit Tank’s third album, Sex, Love & Pain. After what seems like an eternity, Tank’s first three albums have finally arrived on streaming platforms.
