Journey Of A Gemini is the fourth album by American R&B singer-songwriter-producer Donell Jones. The album's release date was pushed back numerous times due to record label complications. The album had been given critical acclaim, but due to very poor promotion by his record label LaFace, sales have been lower than expected.

[edit] Unreleased material

In many interviews, Donell stated that he recorded 50 songs for the album. Some of those songs started to be leaked during the Summer/Fall period of 2004 due to Mixtape DJ's receiving those songs and putting them in their mixtapes. It was speculated that the album was pushed back numerous times due to the leaking of the songs onto the internet. But Donell stated, it was mainly because of the many complications of the Sony BMG merger that happened during the Spring of 2004. Donell was a bit heated at first when he heard about the leaking on the internet but then said it was sign to his fans that he was working on a new album.
