The Atlanta-based crooner known as Lloyd returns with his third solo effort, LESSONS IN LOVE. With contributions from producers Big Reese, Jasper Cameron, Eric Hudson, John Frazier Jr., and Polow da Don, among others, LESSONS IN LOVE features a varied production sound that blends 1980s nostalgia ("Girls Around the World," "Year of the Lover") with poppy slow jams ("Treat U Good," "I Can Change Your Life") and oversexed R&B camp ("Sex Education," "Party All Over Your Body"). Lil Wayne stops by to drop a verse on the lead single, "Girls Around the World."

Rolling Stone (p.88) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Lloyd keeps it tuneful over an Eric B. and Rakim sample and other pricey beats outfitted with electro squiggles."

XXL (Magazine) (p.129) - "The Atlanta-bred lover boy shows his appreciation for females on the Lil Wayne-assisted lead single, 'Girls Around the World'..."
