The next single I Cry , a cover of the song Cry (Just a Little) was released by the Bingo Players . Even before the single was released, it rose to the top of the Norwegian charts.

The last single was Sweet Spot with Jennifer Lopez . However, the song could not land any great success. The announced and finished music video was not published either. The reasons for this are not officially known.

criticism

The album received rather negative reviews. For example, Robert Copsey of Digital Spy said:

"He even gets Jennifer Lopez painstakingly linking candy with G-spots on 'Sweet Spot', though there is minor solace on Rick Ross-helmed 'Thinking of You'. The result has the cohesion of a compilation album, but then he is a 'singles artist' after all. "

and just forgave the album .
