oldies that are hard to find........2007-07-13

Thank you so much for sending me the CD's. They are great and I have been playing them over and over again. I have had so much trouble finding them and I am greatful I have found this website and I do plan to order some more in the future.

Disappointing.......2007-05-26

There are really only two tunes on this album that are both hard to find a desirable, and I bought it for the rarer of the two- Jim Pepper's great "Witchi Tai To" from the long out-of-print album, "Pepper's Pow Wow."

Unfortunately I was terribly disappointed to discover that the version presented here is a very short 2 minute and 55 second version, without the introductory chant. Luckily the version of Miriam Makeba's "Pata Pata" presented here was also one I wanted for my collection, but that's a lot to pay for one song.

As for the other sings on the disk- a few are winner, most are forgettable, and one- "Papa Joe's"- was incredibly annoying when I originally heard it on the radio, and time has not changed my opinion!

The Search Is Over.......2007-01-10

This cd contains a lot of tracks that I had been searching for in second hand shops but was told I would never find them by the less than helpful sales staff.The songs were all on this one cd.

Glad to find.......2006-11-10

For a month, XM radio counted down every charting song from the 40's to the present. Quite ambitious, and an incredible listen. I here this song I love, but didn't get the name. A week later I purchase this CD and "Witchi Tai To" is on the CD. Great luck for me. "My Boy Lollipop," "Black is Black," "Tobacco Road" - all great songs. Okay, Lollipop isn't a great song, but it's hilariously fun.

Eric Records Production of Old R&R Tunes.......2006-02-01

This disc provided me with some long sought after tunes from my youth. Typically the disc contains songs I tolerated, a few I never heard of, However, the producers sought to include songs which mean something to many.

This was a great cd. it came on time and was as promised in good condition. I would recomend the seller again.

Terrific!.......2007-05-30

I bought this CD because I missed listening to the music my grandfather played. This CD brought back a flood of memories for me. Wonderful compilation of my favorite italian classics.

So-So CD.......2007-04-06

This is more cafe style but still worth listening to.
Great dinner background music.

This CD will put you to sleep.......2007-02-26

We bought this CD for our daughter's wedding. After reviewing it, we could have saved our money. The version of Funiculi sounded like the Salvation Army band and it was totally lifeless. Lou Monte's Hey Gumbaree (it is actually Eh Cumpare in Italian--that should have given it away) was awful, and he consistently butchers the Italian language in all his other songs (annoying, I mean, couldn't he have learned the right pronunciation?).

While Perry Como and others have melodic voices (and very wisely sing in English because they don't know Italian), these are '50s versions of the songs, for the most part. While you have to appreciate them, they are really old and reflect the '50s type of instrumention and style. Would have loved to have heard all these songs done in a fresh and original way. Soldi Soldi was our favorite by far, and that is why we gave the CD two stars.

Could have gone to the library for this one.

Thanks for letting me voice our opinion. We are a big Italian family and just spent hundreds of dollars buying every CD out there for our daughter's wedding and figured we would share our opinion with others.

Approach Aaron Neville's Bring it on Home ... the Soul Classics with anything but an open heart and you've missed the point. This is a serious CD, at once mournful, humble, and joyous, with no shortage of moments that recall the terribleness of Hurricane Katrina. One way of processing it is as a cataloging of classic songs that helped Neville's fellow New Orleanians soldier through: opener "Rainy Night in Georgia" with jazzman Chris Botti wrings beauty from soaking-wet despair, "Stand By Me" turns its heel on pleading in favor of promise-making, and "People Get Ready," with David Sanborn and brother Art, is a chill-sending reminder of how unity and perseverance can trump tragedy. Viewed from another lens, Soul Classics is Neville's attempt at climbing aboard the late-career, classic-covers bandwagon while weaving his bayou-soul heritage into the picture. The trouble with that theory, though, is that it feels like so much more. His voice flutters alongside Mavis Staple's on "Respect Yourself" with completely uncontrived tenderness, and Otis Redding's "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay" becomes a meditation on stillness and ease that befits a boulder-sized lump in the throat. A tossed-together concept album this is not; a reflection of a soul man gifted with the ability to spin epic, unyielding sorrow into grace is more like it. --Tammy La Gorce

Album Description

It is hard for me to rate an Aaron Neville disc, because I just love the way he sings. It is very hard to find a song by him that he kills. And in this CD he took GREAT classic soul songs and sang them his style. Just wonderful!

A Treasure Chest Of Artists And Their Classic Cuts.......2007-04-13

Over the years Motown Records has repackaged its legendary artists and hits to varying degrees of commercial and critical success. And as with many labels it seemed at times that the retrospectives became more important to the company coffers than developing new talent or promoting new releases by existing artists.

Without investing in the pricey boxed CD sets, this collection is perhaps the best of the Motown bunch, with 40 songs that captures the true essence of what made the label great; artists who believed in their music, songs that told real stories and hooks that are as infectious today as they were when initially issued all those years ago.

Barrett Strong's Money (That's What I Want), the Four Tops' I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch), Going To A Go Go by Smokey Robinson & The Miracles and the Supremes' You Can't Hurry Love are great examples of complex themes that are wonderfully told within a commercial - Top 40 -radio format.

The juxtaposing of I Heard It Through The Grapevine by Gladys Knight & the Pips and Marvin Gaye is an especially nice touch. And though artists like Bruce Springsteen and Frankie Goes To Hollywood have recorded War, nothing beats the powerful vocals of Edwin Starr.

This is not a smorgasbord sampler that's tossed together with little thought; the two CDs are a treasure chest of legendary artists and the songs that defined a generation.

I heard it through the grapevine ..........2007-03-25

... that you might be considering this CD. Well, grab it! It pulls in lots of hits, even from the very beginning, you can hear how Motown seems to have started in a basement, to the empire it became.

Absolutely Fantastic!!.......2007-02-11

This CD is the absolute best! Every single song brings back a flood of memories. When listening to this CD you will be able to "see" the performers singing their great music when they were on t.v. way back when. If anyone has lived through this great era, they will be able to sing to every single song on this CD. I have previewed and/or bought other Motown CDs but were disappointed with every other song. However, this one is the best. (Even my 15 year old sings along with these songs.) Will the songs that are being sung today be considered the great oldies of tomorrow? I think NOT. These songs on this CD will live on longer because they are the best!
Debbi

One of my Favorite CDs.......2006-10-29

This is a great collection of Motown songs. I have run two marathons listening to these CDs and they have really kept me going. Definately recommend it to anyone looking for a Motown CD.

Another great Motown Classics CD.......2006-05-31

This is the 5th Motown Classics compilation I have, the previous four are "20 Greatest Songs in Motown History" issued in 1985, " Motown Elite 9000 series" in 1987, "Motown - the Hits Collection volume 1" in 1994 and "Motown 40 Forever" in 1998. I just love to buy these Motown compilations as everytime it will give a new look and experience of these classics even though most of the selections are the same. This latest instalment of mine surprised me, by having the stereo version of "Please Mr. Postman". I have the two cds set "The Marvelettes - Deliver the singles 1961- 1971", the songs are all remastered in the original mono master, and the mono version is a mandatory version included in some of the above compilations, so this is the first time that I heard it in stereo. Another surprise is "My girl", my No.1 favorite Motown Classics, the version here has a much clearer vocal, and the remastering sound is gorgeous. "Heatwave" by Martha and the Vandellas is also remastered to perfection, the most common version is the 'fake stereo' version with lots of echo added, Martha's vocal is shifted to the left, here we have the genuine stereo version and the sound of the accompanying instruments can be clearly heard. When listening to this compilation, it seems that you are hearing a new version of these classic songs.

Amazon.com

Forrest Gump (1994) is one of the most successful films ever made, winning Tom Hanks his second successive Best Actor Oscar (he won the previous year for Philadelphia) as well as claiming the Best Picture Oscar and many other awards and nominations, including several for music. A unique fable of American life from the 1950s to the 80s, the film blends comedy, drama, war, romance and groundbreaking special effects into a social and political portrait of the passing years, all seen through the eyes of the intellectually challenged but immensely likeable Forrest Gump. The soundtrack is a double album featuring 31 classic pop tunes plus a suite from Alan Silvestri's rich orchestral music, represented more completely on the companion score album. Opening with Elvis Presley's "Hound Dog", this is a fine anthology of three decades of American music, taking in everything from Joan Baez's "Blowin' In The Wind" to Aretha Franklin's "Respect", The Mammas and The Papas' "California Dreamin'" and Simon & Garfunkel's "Mrs. Robinson". Here also is Scott McKenzie with "San Francisco", plus Jefferson Airplane, the Supremes, Lynyrd Skynrd and many more. Like American Graffiti (1973), this is one of the great pop soundtracks, happily at home in just about any music collection. --Gary S. Dalkin

Need a quick trip to somewhere else?.......2007-06-26

If you need a quick getaway this score will take you there. This is my favorite score from my favorite movie and I'm not sure which influenced the other most. Track 1 - "I'm Forrest . . . Forrest Gump" will immediately turn a day around for me, it is a strange song that calms the spirit and instills confidence at the same time; much like the rest of the score. Great for background music at work! The soundtrack is a great collection of classic hits but it doesn't take me where the score can. Just an incredible work of art!

Funny reissue of a "Classic" soundtrack... Why?.......2006-10-28

I loved Forrest Gump since the first time I saw it in a cinema, even when some people considered it as a "Soap Box-Opera" movie. And kept watching it over and over again, every time is on TV. So I got the soundtrack as soon as it was on the record stores, because the 32-Hit selection made it a "Classic" almost automatically. However, in 2001 the same soundtrack is reissued as "34 American Classics On 2 CDs". This is, those crazy guys in Sony/Columbia Production Dept. decided to add two extra songs, Fleetwood Mac's "Go Your Own Way" and Jackson Browne's "Running On Empty". However, they never considered to add The Doors' "Love Her Madly", even when the song was included in the original movie audio track, as well as other wonderful songs... Why???? I agree with "fendercustomstrat": this soundtrack should have been issued as a 3 or 4-CD boxed compilation... The extra bucks for having all those beautiful songs together, would be worth the price!!!

Dodgy reviews.......2006-03-17

Hi all, I've just been reading through the reviews and saw one that made me laugh at the stupidity of some: this one was credited to a guy who calls himself Music Man - so to quote verbatim

"THIS MAY BE A GOOD SOUNDTRACK, BUT WHAT THE HELL..I'VE SEEN THIS FILM A HUNDRED TIMES, AND I NEVER FROGOT THAT SONG WHEN HE WAS RIDING IN THE HELECOPTOR ON THE WAY TO VIETNAM.I COULDNT REMEMBER THE NAME OF THE SONG AND FORGOT WHO THE ARTIST WAS.SO I SEARCHED ON THE CRAPPY INTERNET.... FOR OVER AN HOUR MY POOR TUSH HURTS, AND I FOUND NOTHING, AND IT'S A CLASSIC SONG!!!!! SO I THOUGHT TO MYSELF MY BROTHER MIGHT KNOW, SO I SAID TO HIM, REMEMBER FORREST GUMP WHEN HE WAS IN THE HELECOPTOR AND THE SONG WENT "THERE MUST BE SOME WAY OUTTA HERE" AND IMMEDIATELY HE SAID JIMI HENDRIX, ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER.... SHAME SHAME WHOEVER PUT TOGETHER THIS SOUNDTRACK NEEDS TO BE SMACKED UPSIDE THE HEAD.. WHO WOULD FORGET JIMI, AND THAT BEAUTIFUL CLASSIC SONG. NOW I KNOW, NO WONDER I COULDNT FIND IT. IT AINT EVEN ON HERE! AFTER ALL THOSE CLIPS I LISTENED TO. WASTE OF TIME, PLUS WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT TO JIMI FANS" -

so Music Man, you've seen the film a hundred times and you've never forgotten the song, however, in the next sentence you counter that statement by saying that you have indeed forgotten it, or at least who the artist was! But alas, later in your tirade, you inquire as to "who would forget Jimi, and that beautiful classic song" - well you for one mate and to vent your spleen, what instrument did you use - the crappy internet.

Its not a disappointment for Jimi fans, because they probably have the track at least a dozen times over what with all the greatest hits and re-releases etc.

The owners of recording rights etc, whilst quite happy to have their music in films, do not allow the tracks to be used on the released soundtrack - this is mainly because of the way in which royalties are paid and the company/person feels that there is more to gain by not allowing the release of their work.

If someone really wants to find the music, they will.

THE BEST OF THE BEST.......2006-03-11

I dont know why it didnt won the oscar for best score. This is one of the best music Ive ever heard. This shows the genius of this composer. Silvestri knows his art.

Great Value CD,with some all time classic tracks.......2007-04-19

This cd has excellent sound quality,i like a lot of the Californian Beach Music,as the beach scene is very similar to the Northern Soul which we have in England,some of the tracks having been played on both scenes.
The Artistics / I'm Gonna Miss you was one of the first American Soul records that converted me to the music in the early 60's,Marvin Smith's vocals are a joy to behold.In A Moment-The Intrigues was also a big 'Northern Soul'track in the UK,Come Softly to Me by Jimmy James & The Vagabonds which i believe is very big on the beach music scene was originally recorded by my friend Jimmy in Jamaica,before he came to reside in the UK in the early 60's,the original having a hawaiian guitar backing,this version with piano backing.When i told him his record was being played more than thirty years after its original release he was suitably impressed.He still plays many live dates to packed audiences today in England,still one of the best live acts....
The Tams,Embers and Jackie Wilson make this a 'cd' NOT TO BE MISSED!!!

I Love Beach Music.......2004-05-29

As a native of North Carolina and a little town of Havelock, I grew up just 15 minutes from the beach. The cities on the coast include Morehead City, Atlantic Beach, and Emerald Isle. In the old days - 60s - 70s there were dance clubs everywhere and this was the music of choice. The radio stations inland from the beach played beach music year around. Today - those clubs are gone and replaced with hotels and water parks. But I remember those days and know great beach music. This is an awesome CD for those of you re-connecting with your beach-roots or seeking something new to listen to. It's unique, it's smooth and mellow like great jazz or R&B - but you can dance to it. I'm home sick for it and this CD gives me that "fix" till I can get back home again and get sand in my shoes. You'll enjoy this CD!

Carolina Beach Music fans will not want to miss this one!!!!.......2004-05-21

Although I have never visited Myrtle Beach or any other beach in the Carolinas for that matter, I have become quite curious about a genre of music known as "Beach Music". In fact, I had never even heard of it until about 10 or 12 years ago. No folks, this Beach Music is not Jan and Dean or the Beach Boys sound. This music emerged after World War II. It began with rhythm and blues and jump blues and evolved over the years. It was really a local phenonmenon in the Carolinas and Virginia region. To learn more about this interesting genre, I suggest you go to beachshag.com where you will find a wealth of information on the subject.
While by no means complete, this terrific 2003 single CD release from Varese Sarabande offers up 25 of the best tunes from the past 50 years. You'll hear the great R&B sounds of The Dominoes "Sixty Minute Man" and Hank Ballard and the Midnighters "Work With Me Annie". Beach music reached the height of its popularity in the 1960's and there is a large representation of tunes from that decade on this disc. Enjoy again classics like "Cool Jerk" by the Capitols, "Hello Stranger" by Barbara Lewis and the rousing party tune "Double Shot (Of My Baby's Love) by the Swingin' Medallions. Credit engineer Steve Massie for a terrific mastering job on this disc. And there are a few nice surprises on the disc as well. If you have never heard the music of the Embers, you are in for a real treat. The opening track, "I Love Beach Music" appears to be the national anthem of Beach Music. There are a couple of other tunes on this disc that I did not previously own that are surprisingly good. "Come To Me Softly" by Jimmy James and the Vagabonds would remind you very much of a Gerry and the Pacemakers tune. I was particularly impressed by a 1987 tune from O.C. Smith called "Brenda". It really makes me wonder why we did not hear more of this wonderful voice after "Little Green Apples" in 1968.
I had given some consideration to purchasing the 2 CD set "I Love Beach Music" from South Carolina's Ripete Records. But the $32.49 price tag scared me off. I thought this was the better bargain. I stopped short of a five star rating because while the Varese did a respectable job on the 8 page booklet, I would have preferred to see a bit more about the history of Beach Music. But all in all, this is one terrific buy. Highly Recommended.

Has neo-soul been around long enough to already have throwbacks? The ostentatiously named Musiq Soulchild seems to think so. The vibe on his debut album, Aijuswanaseing, feels an awful lot like the one D'Angelo first got folks all hot and sweaty with (way back in 1995, with the now-classic Brown Sugar). Musiq even liberally borrows from "Brown Sugar" on "L Is Gone," when he croons, "Skin caramel complexion/Lips chocolate brown" (D's version says "Skin is caramel with those cocoa eyes"). The 23-year-old newcomer is smart enough to have a couple of his musical predecessor's partners in his crew, like producer James Poyser and bassist Pino Palladino. They get some nice, laid-back grooves going on the sassy opening track, "Girl Next Door," and on "Speechless" with its sly, funky Stevie Wonder-style bounce. Despite their best intentions, however, the Philly native never manages to generate any real heat. He has a perfectly adequate croon (part Stevie, part Eric Benet, and of course, part D'Angelo), but it's his lack of lyrical prowess that does him in. Tossing off verbal gems such as "So I could be like Michael Jackson and enjoy myself / Cause what I want to do is make a tuna melt" and "Your body's banging like a 400SE" with complete sincerity, Musiq lets his ulterior motives show, which sabotages the sensitive-ladies'-man image he's obviously trying to cultivate. He leaves us hoping that he'll let someone else write the words for him next time. --Sylvia W. Chan

ANOTHER IMPORTANT SOUL ARTIST.......2007-06-23

THIS GENTS DEBUT ALBUM WAS REFRESHING! I MADE ME REALIZE THAT THERE IS HOPE AFTER ALL FOR SOUL MUSIC. EVERY SONG ON THIS CD WAS WELL PRODUCED,
HIS VOCAL STYLE I HAD TO GET USE TO,BUT LYRICS OVERSHADOWED THAT.I HOPE THE MUSIQ CONTINUES TO MATURE AND GIVE US MORE OF WHAT HE HAS TO OFFER.
ANOTHER IMPORTANT SOUL ARTIST WE NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO.......NOT TIMELESS YET! BUT HAS POTENTIAL.

Musiq Soulchild- Aijuswanaseing.......2007-06-21

Well this album can be described in one word, BORING! Now i know for a fact i am not goinig to get alot of helpful votes on this one because for some reason people loved this album, even though it is truly boring. And it has nothing to do with Mr.Soulchild cause he did prove he has a great but very unique voice. He can do alot better than this, there is only like two maybe three songs at best on this album that i consider to be keepers. One of the being the mid tempo "Me & U" which sounds like it could be a Darkchild beat, this song he shows his vocals and the song actually has meaning. The other song being "Marygoround" which is very similar to "Me & U" in the way they sound. They just have totally different song meanings. The one is about love, while the other is about how she plays him. See the rest of this album is just boring nothing jumps out. I will admit Musiq does shine through a few of those boring songs with his great vocals but still doesnt save the album. Overall it is not a complete and utter failure for a debut album, but it is still not worth having unless you are a huge Musiq fan.


Grade:
D+

REFRESHING..........2007-06-10

This cd is good, still his best. Intelligent and creative song writing with songs like Love, Me and U, Girl Next Door. He needs to find some of that to have an album equal or better than this one some day. A must Have

Soo distinctive but with some amazing songs! Buy it!.......2007-03-30

Bought this one for Girl Next Door... but all of the other songs on the album are superb... if I was to pick out a few favourites it would be Just Friends (which just makes me smile as it's just a guy wanting to get to know a girl) and Love (this one just blows me away every single time!) No doubt this should be a single!

Mary Go Round is very hypnotic and catchy... and Poparatzi is a heartfelt plea to discuss through an argument (down to earth and realistic - but with a romantic edge - love it!)

Musiq has such range and depth to his vocals - beautiful voice to listen to! Highly recommended!

Dynamite.......2007-03-29

A native from Phiadelphia, I was able to see him perform at the Five Spot (Black Lily) and each time he tore down the walls. Each song on this album shows that he was hungry and aware of what he was able to bring to the music scene.
Favorite Song
"Settle for my LOve"

A musical celebration of the romantic and sensual art of the striptease, serving as a much-needed reminder that the age-old "art form" can be playful and fun for everyone above the age of consent! The only compilation of its kind, featuring a lenticular cover - just tilt the CD case and witness the illusion of a sweet yet sexy woman shedding her dress to reveal lingerie. For lovers only!

Best Burlesque cd ever.......2006-11-03

This has fast become my absolute favourite CD ever. It's a blast to dance to . So much fun. Also it is a fabulous background disk for some really fun dinner parties. There was not a single track I dodn't like. It has gone on my MUST BUY lost for all my friends with up coming nuptials. A very very good honey moon soundtrack :)

Strip Tease Classics.......2006-09-21

The first time I listened to this CD, I wasn't very impressed. But, after listening to it a few more times, some of the tracks began to grow on me. It's definitely the classic burlesque sound I was looking for, very classy - nothing like the beat-heavy songs of modern strip tease. Basically, think Betty Paige, Dita Von Tease, or Vienna Le Rouge. It's great for cocktail parties, with a wonderful vintage sound.

Great Collection!.......2006-06-08

If you are just beginning burlesque, you are going to love this compilation. You'll start bumping, grinding, and shimmying without even realizing it. The only problem is that everyone else who performs loves it too! The liner notes feature inspiring photos, and the text offers just enough history to tantalize you into exploring more. It features mostly instrumentals, and the absence of lyrics will emphasize your dance technique.

delightful kitsch that will make you wiggle what you've got.......2006-06-05

I'm not as hip to the burlesque's history as the previous reviewer, so I wasn't disappointed in the least. On the contrary, I thought this album was great -- lively, fun, and definitey kitschy.

One note -- although the disc plays great in my stereo, it's never cooperated with my laptop. Perhaps it's something particular to my disc, but I thought it would be worth mentioning.

The second album from Philadelphia's Musiq keeps the quality level high, mixing equal parts Luther Vandross, Stevie Wonder, and D'Angelo to good effect. Musiq's voice has noticeably matured--the puppy edge of Aijuswanaseing is gone--resulting in a rich tone that reflects a stylistic progression in his music. He's also expanded into new areas, including a slight touch of bossa nova on the excellent "Half Crazy." Meanwhile, "Caught Up" and "Religious" have a late-'80s Big Daddy Kane and Public Enemy feel, heralding a tougher hip-hop sound than the spangle-eyed, jelly-kneed love paeans Musiq included on the first album (such as "Girl Next Door" and "143"). Having said that, Aijuswanaseing remains the essential Musiq starting point, as there's little here that matches the genius of "Speechless" or "You Be Alright." But for those who want to hear the sound of an artist growing up, Juslisen is required listening. --Jake Barnes

Musiq Soulchild- Juslisen.......2007-06-21

Whoa! This is a blast from the past. This is such a good album, i will be the first to tell you, i did not like Aijuswanaseing, i thought it was boring so i was surprised i bought this album. But something told me to give him a second chance and i did and i do not regret it for a second. This album is so good to see compared to all the music now a days, everything R&B now a days is all poppy and dance stuff. Which is cool sometimes, but its nice to see someone bring back that 70s/80s retro groove soul, that stuff that puts you in a good mood. Thats what this whole album is, but obviously with a more new sound to it, but for the most part its the type of music Marvin or Teddy would be making today if they were around. And its great to see that someone can still make that kind of music and still succeed in the bubble gum world of music lately. This will be a classic album for the ages right here. Its going to put Musiq in a league of his own because besides D'Angelo and Maxwell on occasion no one has made and album with so much soul and groove in it at the same time. I mean the standout in my mind is "Religous" which is how Musiq describes his love for his girl, but its got this 70s soul bounce feel to it, just one listen to it and it puts you in good mood. Then the other track that sticks out in my mind right away is "Previouscats" which is actually one of the few songs on this album that doesnt have that soul feel to it, this is just another great cotemperary R&B track. Its a mid tempo story of how his woman doesnt trust him because of the pain caused by her previous boyfriends. I mean the positives are endless on this album and that goes without to mention the two smash singles "Dontchang" and "Halfcrazy". Just trust me buy this album, because i doubt there will be another one like this in a very long time.

It would be nice to submit a review if I actually recieved the product. It's been over a month since I used my gift certificate to purchase two cd's from Amazon - I have yet to recieve either one. I write this after numberous attempts to contact either Amazon or their participating vendors with no success. I'm trapped in email hell without anyone giving proper attention to the fact that I've been ripped off! I would prefer not to use Amazon since this is the second time ordering from them has become a problem - the last time my product was shipped half way across the country!

Musiq - Juslisen .......2007-01-30

Musiq's sophomore album was "Juslisen" (2002) an eighteen track release from the Philadelphia singer. After the introduction Musiq get's things started with the upbeat "Newness", getting to know a woman and asking her questions. A couple of decent track's follow and lead up to the impressive single "Half Crazy" a track where Musiq sings about moving from a friendship to a relationship. With the deep "Time" Musiq provides another standout reflecting on his own growth and love. My favourite track on this release is the slow love ballad "Don't Change" - Musiq provides an outstanding track about life and love - in a track about timeless love. Musiq shines on this powerful and heartfelt track about true love. Musiq pays his respects to his parents on "Motherfather", then drops another memorable slow jam with "Something". The bonus track is a semi-decent remix of "If I Woulda Knew" which was featured on the first album. The music on "Juslisen" vibes well, Musiq provides a lot of upbeat track's, I agree with reviewer J. Highsmith who found the highlights of this album to be in the slow jams. 3.5.

LOVE IS.......2006-02-23

Ever since I started to get into soul music, Musiq has always been the soundtrack to my life in one way or another (when it came to love anyway). It's gotten to the point where I can almost relate to every song. On his sophmore release, the sounds blend effortlessly into each other and have a strong influence of soul that could only come from your parents' 12" collection (as shown on the back cover). Each song deals with every possible angle of love, be it falling for your best friend ("Halfcrazy"), falling in love for the first time ("Newness", "Babygirl"), reconnecting with someone from back then ("Caught Up", "Girlnextdoor"), or even showing love to your parents ("motherfather"). But none can ever reach the emotional affections of "Dontchange", where he expresses everlasting love no matter the circumstances. For the most part, this album had me remeniscing on alot of things. It certainly helped me put things into perspective. This is Neo-Soul at it's finest. Thank you, Musiq.
