Let's Talk About It is the second album by American R&B singer Carl Thomas. It was released by Bad Boy Records on March 23, 2004 in the United States. Originally scheduled for a late 2003 release, the album was delayed several months due to Bad Boy Records entering into a new distribution deal with Universal Records.
The album debuted and peaked at number four on the US Billboard 200 and was later certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Promotion of Let's Talk About It was cut short due to Thomas' brother being gunned down several months after the album's release.[1] The album was one of many albums released on Bad Boy Records that underperformed under the Universal distribution deal. As a result, Thomas left the label in 2005, while Bad Boy left Universal for a distribution deal with Atlantic Records in the same year.
Allmusic editor David Jeffries rated the album three out of five stars. He found that Let's Talk About It "is a very different record from 2000's [debut] Emotional. It's more upbeat, slicker, and riskier. There are really two albums going on here: a moderate one that overcomes some workmanlike production with naughty and clever lyrics, and a meandering one that's warm, personal, and visionary [...] With 16 tracks and only a couple fluff ones, it's easy to whittle this album down to a tight, totally Thomas listen."[2] Aliya S. King, writing for Vibe, gave the album a three and a half ouf of five stars rating.[3]
