Tom Sinclair is a senior writer for EW and has been called "the handsomest man in rock criticism'' (by his wife)
Sisqó's second effort, Return of Dragon, is a vast improvement over a debut that felt as artistically flimsy as the subject matter of ''Thong Song.'' Our man is at his best when he's speed rapping about his erotic obsessions like a guy in a hypersexual fugue state (''Last Night''). While knocking boots remains a key theme, he has a sensitive side, too. The lovely ''Without You,'' with its seesawing strings and bouncy melody, sounds like an outtake from a hip hop Sound of Music, conjuring images of Julie Andrews skipping merrily through the hood, mercifully unaware that a certain fire breathing reptile is imagining her in a thong.
