Intuition, as Foxx describes it, will focus on the needs and wants of the opposite sex. "On my radio show I have this panel of beautiful women and they were talking about how men with a lot of money aren't all that. But if a guy has no money, that's no good either,” Foxx explained. "So I was thinking, What does a woman want? We go from there and build the story and the songs."[2]

Singles

The album's lead single "Just Like Me" featuring T.I., was released on November 11, 2008. The song debuted at number 48 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, before it peaked at number 8.[3] It also peaked at number 49 on the Billboard 100.

The remix to Ne-Yo's "Miss Independent," titled "She Got Her Own" featuring Ne-Yo; along with an American rapper Fabolous, which was released as the album's second single on December 14, 2008.

The album's third single "Blame It" featuring T-Pain, was released on January 26, 2009. In its first week, "Just Like Me", "Blame It" and "She Got Her Own" were charted on the top-ten in the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs at numbers 8, 1, and 2, respectively.

While on the Conan O'Brien show, Foxx performed the remix to "Digital Girl" featuring Canadian rapper Drake, during the interview with MTV News, as he stated; it will be his fourth single from Intuition.[4] The full studio version was leaked and officially released on June 19, 2009, which features guest appearances from Drake, adding Kanye West and The-Dream on this track.

Intuition received mixed reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from critics, the album received an average score of 56, which indicates "mixed or average reviews", based on 6 reviews.[9] Sarah Rodman of The Boston Globe reviewed the album positively, stating: "Like many contemporary R&B albums, the cameos sometimes crowd the main attraction, but Foxx is wise enough to intuit when it suits him best to share the spotlight."[12] Claire Lobenfeld of Vibe Magazine had a mixed review for the album, stating: "What is missing from Intuition is a balance between the party records and the slow jams. The division displays a lack of cohesiveness that separates the effort from being a great album into just a collection of potential singles."[16]

Emily Heward of MusicOMH.com, however, was less impressed with the album, commenting: "[Intuition's songs are] lost amidst over-enthusiastic vocal effects" and that "it is hard to recognize the soulful voice that landed him his Oscar."[19]
