Fans of the smooth singer wonder if he’ll be able to surpass his Freudian album's gorgeous collection of songs and those in the industry have touted him “Next,” as in the next great R&B singer, the prince that will soon be king. Having so many believe in him is a gift and something to appreciate, sure. But it can also be stifling mentally.

Peep that, too.
