Second Cup: Frankie J

Frankie J first burst onto the scene three years ago with his debut, solo album, "What's A Man To Do."

Now, the Mexican-born singer/songwriter is back with a second CD, entitled "The One," and a smash song from it, "Obsession."

"The One" recently debuted at Number 3 on the Billboard Top 200 chart. It's sold almost 300,000 copies.

"Obsession," the single, is currently at No. 3 on the Billboard chart.

Frankie performs tunes from "The One," including "Obsession," on The Saturday Early Show's Second Cup Café.

Frankie's official biography says he got his early inspiration from Michael Jackson.

"My family would always give me a sombrero because, on television, Michael flings a hat into the crowd, and then he starts to moonwalk. I did the same thing he did, I threw the sombrero in the air, and then I would moonwalk. I was six years old," the bio quotes him as saying.

"The odd combination of a sombrero and Michael Jackson moves was an appropriate prelude to Frankie's performing career," the bio continues. "Years after his preteen living room MJ impersonations, Frankie J made his mark with a four year stint with the multi-platinum Mexican-American group, Kumbia Kings, before returning to his R&B roots with 'What's A Man To Do?'

"Frankie's debut album spawned the bittersweet chart-topper 'Don't Wanna Try,' whose video was in heavy rotation on MTV's TRL.

"Now, two years after his solo debut and fresh off his hit collaboration with rapper Baby Bash, 'Suga Suga,' Frankie J builds on that momentum on 'The One'…which more than delivers on the promise of 'What's A Man To Do?'

"Frankie's new album is pure unadulterated R&B, perfectly patterned for slow dancing with a special someone, immaculately tailored for the dance floors of club land, and dreamily suited for long, late, and lonely nights. Despite the man's Latino heartthrob pedigree, do not file 'The One' under 'Latin Pop.'

"With 'The One,' Frankie J emerges as a serious neo-soul/pop contender; his sensuous falsetto putting him in the same general categories as Usher and Justin Timberlake. And, though Frankie J's not wearing a sombrero these days, he still adds seamless Spanglish flourishes to his music."
