The same issues that weighed down Avant's previous two albums, rendering them good if uneven releases, continue to run unchecked for Private Room. The sheer wealth of material -- 16 tracks in all -- couldn't possibly work to anyone's advantage, especially someone who thrives on singles. So, once again, there's a handful of excellent contemporary R&B songs surrounded by too much material that's either decent or middling.
