 (17 Customer Reviews)
Musiq--formerly Musiq Soulchild--is one of the foremost figures in the neo-soul movement, as he deftly blends hip-hop-infused production and gangsta-lite loverman braggadocio with a vintage soul-funk feel that's scarce in contemporary R&B. Even when LUVANMUSIQ hits a club-bangin' apex, the classic grooves of his native Philadelphia are never far behind, as best heard on the album's debut single, "B.U.D.D.Y.," and "Makeyouhappy," which both swing with infectious T.S.O.P.-inspired string and horn lines over boom-bap beats. During the album's more sensual moments, Musiq recalls City of Brotherly Love soul icons the Delfonics, particularly on the album-closing "Lullaby." Though firmly rooted in his own time, Musiq respectfully cherry-picks the finest aspects of his city's musical past for a touch of class.

I've got each of this guy's past albums & I've been an avid follower of his career(or should I say Musiq). When I heard B.U.D.D.Y on Metro fm, I was instantly taken back to a time when I was a ten-year old lad when Ini Kamokaze's 1994 banger "The Hotstepper" was a South African township anthem. Then I coppped it and I was sent into a trance by the gospel-infused "Betterman". On Ms Philadelphia he embraces that Philly culture he so rudely dissociated himself from in a Metro fm phone interview & abruptly cancelled his tour to S.A in true diva fashion. I have to confess that Mr Talib Johnson doesn't produce any surprises on this record. He however has one more track that's worth mention and that's "MakeyouHappy" which is somehow remniscent of "Solong" from Juslisen. Overall, don't expect anything novel from this album but the production is still good nonetheless.

 Shimmering Brilliance
Well he has done it again, it took him 4 years but it has been worth the wait. This guy has been my favorite male singer for a number of years and now I have no qualms about saying so. Where do I start about this one? Right away I found myself repeating “Takeyouthere", "Lullaby", "Greatestlove". These three songs represent Musiq at his absolute best. This is how good music (forget all the pestilent labels for a moment) is supposed to sound. This level of music is written and crafted, not merely "produced". As I write this, "Teachme" is making the rounds on the radio, very encouraging. Supporting the aforementioned songs are the equally interesting "Thequestions", "Makeyouhappy" and "Millionaire". Some don't like the one word theme that he uses for everything, all really trivial when the body of work is this good! This CD is a must buy as I really can't say enough about this guy’s talent.

This album is top notch. I'm a musician and it puts out the real energy of a man truly feels for a woman. This album should be in every man thats in love or trying to love. My favorite song has to be "Betterman". It came at a perfect time for me and my situation. Thanks a lot Musiq, I couldn't have said any better. To Musiq, keep the music a little more original and fresh.

Purchase Luvanmusiq CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Mary J Blige Breakthrough CD (2005)
Luvanmusiq
 $12.99  
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") ...

| | 100% Ginuwine CD (1999)
Luvanmusiq
$7.59 
Returning with a stellar sophomore album, Ginuwine picks up where his 1996 debut album left off. On 100% GINUWINE, he sounds prepared to break out into superstar pop status. Packed with lyrical passion and bomb beats, the soulful singer has found a maturity and depth to his music that is rare for a sophomore album. Produced mostly by Timbaland, 100% GINUWINE is everything a '90s R&B album should be. It contains a balance of ballads and head-nodders, with lyrics you'll want to return to again and again.
Among the stand-out tracks are "Final Warning" which features an appearance from the sweet-voiced Aaliyah, "Wait A Minute," a slow-building ballad with beautiful harmonies that could be described as blues-meets-R&B-meets-hip-hop, and "I'm Crying Out." Also, be sure to check out the remake ...
