Unpredictable is the second studio album by American singer-songwriter and actor Jamie Foxx. It was released on December 27, 2005, by J Records. Recording sessions took place from 2004 to 2005, with the production that was provided by Timbaland, Mike City, Sean Garrett and Jim Jonsin, among others. The album serves as a follow-up to the release of Peep This (1994), making it his first studio release in eleven years. The album was supported by four singles: "Extravaganza" featuring Kanye West, the title track "Unpredictable" featuring Ludacris, "DJ Play a Love Song" featuring Twista, and "Can I Take U Home".

Upon its release, Unpredictable received generally mixed reviews from music critics, who were ambivalent towards its lyrical content and production. The album debuted at number 2, behind Mary J. Blige's The Breakthrough on the US Billboard 200, with 597,000 copies in its first week.[1] In the second week, the album rose to number one, overtaking Blige, making Foxx as the fourth artist to ever won a Academy Award for acting, while achieving a number-one album on the US Billboard charts.

}}Unpredictable received polarized 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 52, which indicates "mixed or average reviews", based on 16 reviews.[2]
  • E! Online - 7.5 out of 10 -"Whether he makes it all work via his musical skills or chameleonic acting ability, we don't know, but it does work."[2]
  • Rolling Stone - 6 out of 10 - "When the album works, it's because of Foxx's easy charm and A-list confidence."[9]
  • Paste- 3 out of 10 - "It's better to be the imitation Ray Charles than the poor man's R. Kelly."[10]
  • Q magazine - 4 out of 10 - "The voice that set such a spark to West's Gold Digger should be capable of more than this exaggerated comedy sex routine."[13]
  • Alex Petridis of The Guardian was also not impressed with the album, saying: "Unpredictable resembles another legendary thespian's venture into pop, William Shatner's 1968 opus The Transformed Man, in that you start to wonder whether Foxx is actually serious or not."[12]
