Ollusion

Released in early 2010, Ollusion marks a transitional period for Omarion, being his first release after his brief stint with Young Money and his first under his own StarWorld Entertainment imprint. Sonically, the album is a departure from the more traditional R&B of his debut, embracing a 'space-age' aesthetic that was popular at the turn of the decade. The record features collaborations with Gucci Mane and Jay Rock, signaling an attempt to toughen his image and sound. Critics, including those at AllMusic, noted the album's high production values but felt it occasionally lacked the melodic hooks of his earlier work. Despite this, tracks like 'Wet' became cult favorites for their atmospheric depth and vocal arrangement. The album serves as a bridge between the teen-pop R&B of the mid-2000s and the more experimental, 'PBR&B' sounds that would emerge later in the decade.
