Title: Musiq to my Ears
Product review: Musiq Soulchild's debut album was still a constant staple of my CD diet when this album came out. "Aijuswanaseing" was a great record with "Just Friends (Sunny)" being so overly addictive that I used to play it daily! However, Musiq had not moved far away from the core of Neo Soul ideology; D'Angelo. He was often critised for being a little too much like the famed Neo Soulster (who is himself critised for sounding too much like Prince!). By this album, the flavours of Neo Soul are still here, but this is an original and personal slant. The album begins with the great opener "Newness" (check those lyrics!).The album goes along at a good pace, giving as a taste of many things. Higlights would include "Halfcrazy", "Don't Change" and the marvellous remake "Something". More uptempo as a whole than Aijuswanaseing, but this is truly a worthy album that puts Musiq right up there with D'Angelo and Maxwell as the vanguard of the Neo Soul movement
