A protégé of hip-hop mogul
Sean "P. Diddy" Combs, R&B vocalist
Donnie Klang was also a member of the fourth season of
Diddy's MTV show Making the Band. A fan favorite,
Diddy ultimately didn't pick
Klang to join his boy band, but instead offered the burgeoning idol a solo contract on Bad Boy records. 2008's
Just a Rolling Stone is the product of that signing. Replete with spoken word interludes in which
Klang answers the question, "Have you ever had your heart broken?" and "Do you want to find love?," -- the answer is yes, but ever the romantic,
Klang says he doesn't want to force it but wants to, "meet a girl out of nowhere and be like, wow like, this was unexpected." -- the album generally plays to
Klang's intended audience of dewy-eyed teen girls enamored with
Klang's nasally vocals and gelled-up hairdo.
Just a Rolling Stone features a few catchy tracks like the campy, club-ready "Dr. Love" and silly if admittedly fun "Hollwood Girl," an obvious ode to club girls. ~ Matt Collar
