JUSLISEN - ALBUM OF THE YEAR - 2002 TOP TEN LISTS " The Philadelphia singer has dropped the surname Soulchild but not the soul which has grown deeper since his standout debut of two years ago, Aijuswanaseing. "On his second album, Musiq adds himself to the ranks of neo-soul singers like D'Angelo and Maxwell, distinguishing himself with an updated interpretation of the Phildelaphia sound." ".... He evokes memories of the golden age of R&B with musical nods to such
greats as Sly Stone and Marvin Gaye." |
