Robert Downey Jr. is not one of those guys who got bored with being rich and decided to cut an album just for the fun of it, without the chops to back it up. If you've paid attention to his film work (or his time on Ally McBeal), you'll notice that he does sing and play the piano, and has been doing so since he was a kid. His album is very elegant, for the most part, with beautiful piano playing, excellent singing, musically interesting songwriting, and poetic lyrics. He has a definite Bruce Hornsby feel, but with an overall melancholy.
