Review

"Don't Wanna Try," a single that wound up cracking the Top 20 in 2003, is probably responsible for allowing Frankie J to bring in the likes of songwriters/producers Bryan-Michael Cox and Mario Winans, along with features from Baby Bash and Swisha House heavyweight Paul Wall, for follow-up The One. The singer continues to work closely with Happy Perez, but Cox's presence on not one but three tracks -- including "How to Deal," a clone of Usher's Cox-penned "Burn" in both sound and sentiment -- adds significant heft to his catalog. What's a Man to Do? tended to falter whenever J broke from his sweet, yearning (not whining) manner to adopt a tougher tone, but he smartly leaves that for Bash's and Wall's guest spots here. The One is a step forward in every aspect. Lead single "Obsession (No Es Amor)" shot up to the Top Ten upon release, only solidifying J's mainstream presence. ~ Andy Kellman, All Music Guide

The One is R&B singer Frankie J's third album. It was released in March 22, 2005 and debuted at #3 on the Billboard 200 Chart and R&B Chart. His first single, Obsession (No Es Amor) had been receiving heavy rotation on radio stations finally making its peak in the top 5 of Billboard 100's.

On October 11, 2005, The One saw a re-release in a Dual - Disc format which included a cover single of the song More Than Words by the late 80's/early 90's Extreme with the DVD portion offering the whole album in enhanced stereo quality sound with the More Than Words music video (in both English and Spanish) and a behind the scenes look with Frankie J, "Along For the Ride"
