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 ... Full Descriptionsolo 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."

Veteran album
$12.45 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, and establishes the album's fierce, restless mood. But the disc's highlight is the utterly infectious single "Turn It Up," which boasts Scott Storch's distinctive chiming production and an appearance by Lil' Flip. Although fellow Texan Bun-B, Krayzie Bone, and others also show up, REVENGE doesn't rely on guest shots; ...
| | Mary J Blige The Breakthrough CD (2005)
Veteran CD music
$10.85 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.
The album's lead-off single, "Be Without You," a bittersweet slow jam, is representative of the album's themes, which focus on feelings of strength and weakness in love. But whether waxing romantic ("Can't Get Enough") or detailing the travails of the heart ("Baggage"), Blige lays down elastic R&B vocal lines that are second to none. Even a seemingly unlikely duet with Bono and U2 on "One" comes across beautifully, adding a new dimension to that familiar tune.
Personnel include: Mary J. Blige (vocals); ...
| | Avant Director CD (2006)
Veteran music CDs
$11.89 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 many of his contemporaries. Alternately declaring himself a "Grown Ass Man" and a "Director" of carnal activities, Avant pulls off a marriage of slow-jam heavy breathing and visceral, up-front beats that makes ...

Veteran songs
$10.85 On the follow-up to his 2004 debut, SOUTHSIDE, Atlanta-based R&B vocalist Lloyd spins more tales of romance and seduction on STREET LOVE. At 15 tracks deep, STREET LOVE features an even blend of dance-floor bangers ("Get It Shawty," "Killing Me") and sultry ballads ("Certified," "Player's Prayer," "Street Love"). At its best, Lloyd's falsetto has the power to conjure OFF THE ...

Veteran album
$18.39 While Shaggy's dancehall-crossover supremacy was challenged in the early 2000s by Sean Paul and Elephant Man, the Jamaican artist returned to reclaim his throne in 2005 with CLOTHES DROP. The opening title track benefits from instrumental and production contributions by the legendary reggae duo Sly & Robbie, resulting in an utterly catchy single. While Shaggy can lean into a groove with his bold vocals, he is also capable of unfurling lyrics at rapid-fire speed, as revealed on the R&B-tinged "Wild 2nite." And, always one for a good hook, he works with a melodic Barrington Levy sample on "Broadway" and brings in a snippet of the Tom Tom Club's "Genius of Love" on "Shut Up and Dance," which features Will.I.Am and Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas. Aimed squarely at the dance floor (and particularly the ladies), CLOTHES DROP is sure to hit its target.
Clothes Drop, is a varied and invigorating explosion of tough rhythms, with Shaggy's unique rough-and-smooth toasts devoted to music, women, fun, and where appropriate , the spirit. 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 ...
