Love King by The‐Dream

Love King is the third studio album by American recording artist and producer The-Dream, released June 29, 2010, on Radio Killa Records with distribution by Def Jam Recordings. He produced the album with Christopher "Tricky" Stewart and Los Da Mystro. It expands on the suite-like production style and lyrical themes of The-Dream's previous albums. His lyrics are characterized by arrogance and swagger, and deal with traditional R&B themes such as love, sex, money, and infidelity. Love King has been noted by music writers for its layered musical elements and detailed production. The album debuted at number four on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling 58,000 copies in its first week. It produced two singles that achieved minimal Billboard chart success, "Love King" and "Make Up Bag". Upon its release, Love King received generally positive reviews from music critics, who praised The-Dream's detailed production and complimented his sexual-themed and boastful lyrics. It was included in several year-end best album lists by music publications.
