All I Feel is the fourth studio album by American singer Ray J. It was released by his own label Knockout Entertainment in partnership with Deja34 Records, Epic Records and Koch Records on April 8, 2008. It is the second album by Ray J to be labeled with a Parental Advisory sticker. The album features the singles "Sexy Can I" featuring labelmate Yung Berg, and "Gifts", and was his only album with Koch Records.

Conception

An article in the Los Angeles Times asserted that Ray J wanted to distance himself from his child star image from his days acting in Moesha, the sitcom that starred his older sister Brandy. Reporter Serena Kim noticed that the lyrics were becoming more "graphic" and sexually explicit.[1]

All I Feel was panned by most music critics. Steve Jones of USA Today rated this album one-and-a-half stars out of a possible five, stating that the album "doesn’t leave much of an impression, even though Ray J tries hard to leave one".[4] Okayplayer editor Jason Reynolds considered Ray J's sexual and drug content to be vulgar and "forced".[3] Clover Hope of Billboard magazine gave this album a moderate review for the perception that Ray J "tries too hard" to "prove himself" to be grown up, "like a wannabe rapper in singer's clothing."[5] In a positive review for AllMusic, editor Jim Allen wrote: "Ray J shows that he's all grown up on All I Feel. His fourth album finds him working every angle of contemporary R&B [...] Whatever the mode, his delivery is both effective and seemingly effortless."[6]

Commercial performance

The album debuted and peaked at number 7 on the US Billboard 200, with first week sales of 39,000 units.[7] It marked Ray J's first top ten entry as well as his highest-charting album since This Ain't a Game (2001).[8] All I Feel also opened at number one on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart, becoming his second top ten album on the chart as well as his first to reach the top spot.[9]
