This set of breezy, melodic R&B sounds fresh enough to belie Marques Houston's 10-plus years in the music business. The honey-voiced singer got his start in the mid-1990s with the R&B boy band Immature, and raised expectations with his 2003 solo debut, MH, and its follow up, 2005's NAKED. VETERAN has a more stripped-down sound than its predecessors, but it retains the singer's confident yet sensitive approach on smooth after-hours jams like "Favorite Girl" and the sexy "How You Just Gonna."
At the age of 25, Marques Houston considers himself a veteran. OK: roughly 15 years, from Immature's 1992 debut to Veteran, constitutes longevity in any field. It's also worth noting that Houston is one of very few R&B artists with mainstream appeal who first appeared during the early '90s. Though he has dressed this album as something of a significant occasion, it is not a great progression from 2005's Naked, but it is a progression nonetheless. There's a similar distribution of sexually forward roughneck tracks and heart-on-sleeve testimonies, with plenty of material that falls somewhere between the two extremes, but the overall quality of the songwriting and production work is greater than that of Naked and MH. After working beneath the surface, you can even hear Houston sound a little more like a mature adult -- "Pop That Booty" seems like a distant memory -- and he works the more romantic sentiments with enough conviction to indicate that he has more life experiences from which to draw. Several past collaborators are involved, including Rufus Blaq and the Underdogs, and Houston also teams up again with Ne-Yo (who co-wrote MH highlight "That Girl") on "Wonderful," one of the album's several standouts. ~ Andy Kellman Marques Houston Veteran Songs Veteran Music Review Average Rating: (4.4 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Sexy, Delicious, Exceptionally Smooth
This cd has exceeded my every expectation-if you're in a sexy, feeling like "that" kind of mood, this cd will take it to the next level for you. (No need to skip tracks)Mature-unapologetically hot!!

 Disapointing...
I love marques out of his 3 albums the first one is the best. It feels like he doesnt care, or is just lazy. Production is good. Out of the 12 tracks 3 are good.

 WHAT?!
Listen I ain't gonna lie I was never a huge Marques Houston fan but this cd has managed to change my mind, I love the slow vibe and Grown man feel. Alot of artists just don't have that aspect. Yo it's off the chain MH.

Purchase Veteran CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Marques Houston Naked CD (2005)
Veteran
 $12.59  
Personnel: Marques Houston (vocals); Dame, Joe Budden, Rufus Blaq, Young Rome (rap vocals); Cory Bold (various instruments); The Corna Boys (keyboards, programming); Adonis Stropshire, RaRa, Tank, Durrell Babbs, Pierre Medor (background vocals).
Whenever an album is titled Naked, the odds are pretty strong that it's the second or third release from a young solo artist who wants to get personal: "I wanted to give my fans a more intimate look at who I am"; "I called this album Naked because I'm not ashamed of my emotions"; "I just went through a lot of drama, and I'm an adult now, so these songs are very deep as a result." In Marques Houston's case -- a solo artist with a debut behind him -- the odds are pretty strong ...

Veteran
$13.15 
Personnel: Chamillionaire (rap vocals); Killer Mike, Krayzie Bone, Lil Wayne, Pastor Troy, Rasaq, Scarface, Lil' Flip, Natalie , Bun B (rap vocals).
With THE SOUND OF REVENGE, Chamillionaire's 2005 Universal debut, the Houston-based rapper makes the most of his major-label deal, which includes his own Chamillitary imprint. On SOR, Paul Wall's former collaborator amps up that duo's signature chopped-and-screwed mixtape sound with heavy-duty arrangements that expertly showcase Chamillionaire's deep, husky voice. The introductory title track is marked by machine-gun beats, ...

Veteran
$10.49
Personnel: Mary J. Blige (vocals); Dave Young, will.i.am, Brook (vocals); Jay-Z (rap vocals); Bryan-Michael Cox (various instruments); Raphael Saadiq (guitar, bass guitar); Craig Brockman (keyboards); U2.
After her somewhat lukewarm 2003 release LOVE & LIFE, Mary J. Blige returns to her rightful place as the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul with 2005's THE BREAKTHROUGH. Blige enlisted a host of guest producers to contribute tracks to THE BREAKTHROUGH, and the result is one of her strongest and most varied albums. As usual, the sound is a mixture of smooth, urban contemporary and hip-hop edge, but Blige nails it with tracks like the pulsing "Enough Cryin'" (with its rich, multi-layered vocals) and the breezy "Can't Hide From Luv" featuring a guest spot by Jay-Z.

Veteran
$11.99
Personnel: Avant (vocals); The Pussycat Dolls, Nicole Scherzinger (vocals); Lil Wayne, Lloyd Banks (rap vocals); Jermaine Dupri (spoken vocals).
R&B crooner Avant is as smooth as ever on DIRECTOR, but this time around his emotive, passionate vocal stylings are supported by cutting-edge production that's sharper than ever. While Avant is not averse to getting down and dirty when the situation arises, he's a romantic at heart, and many of the tunes here find him exulting in the glow of love with a rhapsodic zeal that's uncommon among ...

Featured tracks include 'Shut Up And Dance', with a contribution from the Black Eyed Peas' Will.I.Am, the wickedly catchy 'Supa Hypnotic', a steamy team-up with vocalist Nicole of the notorious Pussycat Dolls entertainment troupe, the title track 'Clothes Drop', devised by legendary Jamaican rhythm section Sly and Robbie, 'Would You Be' a tribute to the classic R&B beat-ballad style of the Isley Brothers and Al Green, the futuristic 'Don't Ask Her That' produced by Scott Storch, and 'Ultimatum', produced by Shaggy's long-time collaborator Shaun Pizzonia, known as Sting International, whose creative direction unifies the album. Also includes the 2 UK exclusive tracks 'Goodie Goodie' & 'Sexy Gyal Whind'. Geffen. 2005.

Trying to please everyone, Shaggy knocks an excellent album down to just a very good one by overstuffing the otherwise inspired Clothes Drop with bland filler. An hour plus, the album contains 40 to 50 minutes of inspired Shaggy with the swashbuckling singer dividing his time between swaggering business as usual and surprisingly non-pop, non-slick numbers that are welcome reminders of how deep he can go. The polished boasting and bragging on the opening "Clothes Drop" is no big surprise, but the minimal and bubbly production from Sly & Robbie is fresh and exciting. The pace is kept up with some raw dancehall -- the pounding "Broadway" with its brittle Barrington Levy sample is especially tasty -- before things get much slicker. "Wild 2Nite" takes the singer into the perfect-fitting world of G-Unit with special guest Olivia, and "Supa Hypnotic" is the first of two stylish ...
