That’s where sources say Foxx’s lover manager of ten-years, Brion Prescott, spotted Foxx being accompanied by the son of legendary music mogul Clarence Avant, Alex Avant, as the two walked into the Tinseltown nightclub. It happened Thursday night at Hollywood’s Avalon nightclub where Usher was hosting a pre Grammy party. The lighter, looser songs - like a characteristically breezy contribution from Pharrell Williams, and a Cook Classics collaboration that immediately follows it - happen to be the most memorable of all, even though they sound like the songs that required the least amount of thought to make.Jamie Foxx recently found himself at the center of a three-way fight, after the actor/singer reportedly dissed his longtime friend and former music manager. That material, as well as much of what surrounds it, is significantly less substantive than the singer's past work. Kid Ink, Wale, and Chris Brown are among his guests, and he snags producer Boi-1da for sleek tracks such as "Like a Drum," with lyrics that could just as easily be sung by someone half Foxx's age. Some songs here, like the consecutive piano ballads "In Love by Now" and "Jumping Out the Window," do lack mischief, but Foxx otherwise continues to put forth quite an effort to prevent his audience's average age from reaching 30. Though follow-up release "Ain't My Fault" was relatively serious, it too was set in the club and failed to register on any Billboard chart, though it was placed on the deluxe edition. The song didn't stick enough to make either the standard or the deluxe versions of Hollywood: A Story of a Dozen Roses. When he returned in 2014 with "Party Ain't a Party," a collaboration with DJ Mustard and 2 Chainz, it was clear he was content to play the same role in R&B, as a partying loverman with winking punch lines, singing about shawties, booties, and twerking.
After the 2010 release of Best Night of My Life, Jamie Foxx put his music career to the side for the longest period since 2005's Unpredictable.
