Title: Underrated nu-wave/nu-soul from the Neptunes -support Kenna
Product review: Picked this up the first week is came out - I thought was hoping taht at least the Chad Hugo/NEPTUNES production/connection would help support Kenna's idiosyncratic songwriting chops, but no, this CD never really took, in spite of the should-have-been MTV/radio smash FREETIME - Kenna has a great voice, cool off-kilter sensibility, and great production in Chad...sadly, it all comes down to racism - this is much more of a ROCK/NU-WAVE CD than a hip-hop/soul CD, and radio/retail doesn't know how to sell/market a BLACK MAN doing WHITE MUSIC - too bad, Kenna's debut sits heads and shoulders above most released last year...if Kenna was Caucasian and pretty, he'd be on TRL in no time...and I'm white, so don't go there - I just hope he gets to get a sequel and avoid the sophomore slump? Imagine CLIPSE beats meets DEPCHE MODE with a dollop of PHOENIX and you got it. Good work, esp. I'M GONE, HELLBENT, etc.
