Jamie Foxx Counts on Daughter's Honest Opinion

As he prepared for the release of his third studio album, actor and singer Jamie Foxx says that there was no better sounding board than the one he had at home in daughter Corrine, 14.  Intuition attempts to “marry R&B and hip-hop,” Jamie explains, which isn’t the easiest thing for a 41-year-old to master! When he needs an honest, unfiltered opinion on whether or not his music will land with a younger audience, it was Corrine Jamie turned to. “My daughter will be like, ‘Dad, you sound old on this,’” he tells The Boom Box. “So I let her hear some songs and she said, ‘You sound young!’”

“If I sound young on the song but I’m still getting my point across then I know I got something because she’s 14 so she’s going to let me know the real.”

Corrine is Jamie’s only child. Intuition is in stores now.

Wow! What a beautiful young lady! I’ll bet we’ll be seeing a lot of her in her adult life!

She’s only 14? She looks several years older. Anyway that’s a cute story about Jamie sounding old. I’m sure 41 is so old to a teenager!

Jamie’s little girl is growing up. I remember when she was his date at the Oscars the year he won.
