The Second Coming is the second album by R&B singer TQ.[4][5] It was released in 2000 in the United Kingdom; plans for a United States release were cancelled.
Mistakes appear across various releases: the song "One Day" is listed as featuring Bone Thugs-n-Harmony member Layzie Bone—whose name is incorrectly spelled "Lazy Bone"—in the Europe-only official releases; however, the track in question actually features West Coast rapper E-40. Ironically, the never-released American version did indeed feature Layzie Bone.[citation needed]
The album peaked at No. 32 on the UK Albums Chart.[6]
Critical reception
[edit]The Birmingham Evening Mail called the single "Daily" "witty," and asked "Who says today's soul can't be commercial and fun?"[7]
