Return of Dragon
Credit Sisqó for avoiding the sophomore slump and sidestepping  formula on his rugged and soulful latest. Blessed with a powerful, dare  one say overwrought voice, Sisqó has the power to make the phone book  (or ditties about undergarments) sound intense. But with the help of  Teddy Riley, among others, onReturn of Dragonhe's working with  more interesting material. The single "Can I Live" vibrates with a  fierce wiggle, while the heartfelt ballad "Close Your Eyes" is pure  hankie material. Of course, this being a Sisqó CD, you have to endure  tracks (the first two) in which Sisqó essentially pays homage to his  own genitalia. Program the CD player.--Amy Linden
