 (11 Customer Reviews)
Neo Soul crooner Raheem DeVaughn lists his home as "Loveland, United States" on his MySpace page, and there's little evidence on "The Love Behind the Melody" to suggest he would live anywhere else. With a light, airy voice that caresses the songs without rubbing them the wrong way, DeVaughn slinks his way through smooth, neo-classical jams as if he was born for it. "Mo Better" updates intimate '70s Philly soul with a string-dripping intro and brushes of keyboard, while "Women" sprinkles a slightly tougher beat onto the standby ode to the fairer sex. But while some of DeVaughn's contemporaries get low lyrically, he keeps it strictly class, focusing on woman's brains and strength. DeVaughn clearly paid attention to every soul disciple from Stevie to Luther to Prince, but he's got a silky voice all his own.

If there where a way to lay emotion over vinyl Raheem has mastered it. I’m drawn to this album like a magnet. Every song tells a story that make you want to visualize the seen. Listening to “Empty” hits me deep, this is the R&B album of the year.

There are few groups so closely and unalterably associated with their home country as the Chieftains. These carriers of the traditional Irish folk torch had spent 40 years as Ireland's musical ambassadors by the time of this commemorative collection. On the one hand, they're unquestionably fine at laying down Irish tunes in the grand old style with bodhran and pipes blazing away (as on such tradition-minded fare as "Mo Ghile Mear" and the medley involving "King of Laois" and "Paddy's Jig." On the other, they've always been open to collaboration with artists from every corner of the music world, whether it's a former new wave hellion like Elvis Costello searching for his roots on "Long Journey Home" or countryman ...

This album is a collection of songs about love, from romantic love, with all it’s ups, downs and complexities, to the crystal clear joy of fatherhood to friendships and everything squashed in between. It has been said that these songs could inspire the script of a movie or be the sound track or just make you want to stay in love. Dave's influences and musical inspiration on this album come from a collective of great acoustic guitar players and lyricyst such as Bruce Cockburn,David Wilcox the fabulous Tom Waits and Australian Steve Cummings .
