Consistant to a falt and produces a classic with every album drop. Love the new album a certfied banger. - C-trane Sat, 03 Jan 2009 23:10:19 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/reviews/december-2008/musiq-soulchild-200812157023/#comment-12256 Yo for real man... Amel Larrieux - Lovely Standards, Raphael Saadiq - The Way I See It THAT'S where an artist is expanding artistic abilities. Producing a different work of art from what you normally do, outside of the genre and learning a new craft to do it. These other cats...no. Sorry. No. - DigablePlanet Mon, 29 Dec 2008 15:32:24 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/reviews/december-2008/musiq-soulchild-200812157023/#comment-12183 i havent heard the new musiq album so i cant speak on that (i def will cop that shit soon). I just wanna say that music now a days does suck. Its kind of amazin if you think about artists from the 60's and 70's, be it rock or jazz, or soul, or r&b. think about how ill that music was, how great the vocalists were and how great the actuall music was. Now flash forward to 2000 thru 2008. I know music cant always be great, but why is this shit so bad. And whats worse is nobody cares. Everybody keeps listening cuz thats all there is and "thats what stuff sounds like now." And its almost like as soon as an artist does something wierd or bad, everyone hops on their dick and says "WAIT - dont be a hater - their just experimenting and expresing their artistic creativity." YO FUCK THAT. If your really tring to be different and craetive, why dont you stop using fuckin computer made beats and get back to instruments. Im sure musiq's new album is good, and im damn sure its better than most the other shit out (fuck beyonce and mariah - 2 ladies with talent who blow it out the ass), but compare that to a classic soul album from the 60's or 70's. maybe im wrong - i dont know...i really just dont like music now adays (thats fucked up- im 22 and sound like an old bitter man.) - imissoulmusic Fri, 26 Dec 2008 18:17:45 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/reviews/december-2008/musiq-soulchild-200812157023/#comment-12170 Oh, and I take back what I said about Kanye...I still think he's BUGGING, but this last album grew on me. Especially when I really listened to "Pinocchio's story" at the end...oh man...the way he compared his occasional wish to have a normal life to "being a real boy"?! Wow...and how he subtly said maybe his mom's death was his fault cause he introduced her to LA and the american dream, which in a roundabout way maybe got her trying to floss too much and get unnecessary cosmetic surgery? Powerful stuff, man...and all off the dome live at a show?! After that, I was like ok...Kanye may be bugging, but this is an interesting concept album. But freakin COMMON was ridiculous. I wanna break that CD in half - DigablePlanet Fri, 26 Dec 2008 10:52:00 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/reviews/december-2008/musiq-soulchild-200812157023/#comment-12169 OHMYGOD People....stop with the "let him expand as an artist" CRAP...you know that's some ol' BULL $%#*...every time someone in R&B music comes out with an album that "pushes the boundaries" nowadays, all they're REALLY doing is trying to get more radio play. And they do that by sounding more like what you're hearing from the OTHER radio-friendly artists, who are already trying to sound like each other. What boundaries are being pushed here? The boundary that kept him from being lumped in with the 25-and under singers on the radio now? Yeah, way to "expand your musical capabilities". That's the wackest response, and I keep hearing it over and over. Oh, Common's "expanding musically"...oh, Musiq made OnMyRadio sound like SouljaBoy co-wrote it because he's "expanding musically". I know I sound mad angry right now but dayum...tell me that's not foolish - DigablePlanet Fri, 26 Dec 2008 10:39:29 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/reviews/december-2008/musiq-soulchild-200812157023/#comment-12135 OnMyRadio mixes what Musiq fans are used to with tracks that let him explore who he is as an entertainer. I love the album! I have a copy for the car one on itunes and one for the office! - So Sexy Tue, 23 Dec 2008 21:00:49 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/reviews/december-2008/musiq-soulchild-200812157023/#comment-12053 Uhh "ONMYRADIO" is what that is....I have no idea why people is giving him such a hard time...but the cd is fire too me personally I can't stop listening to it...it's up there with his debut "Aijuswanaseing" & "Juslisen"! I like the change that he did with this album! No one should try to make him stay in a box...Let him be an artist and explore different avenues/styles of Music!!! - Divine One Mon, 22 Dec 2008 16:38:32 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/reviews/december-2008/musiq-soulchild-200812157023/#comment-11828 amp fiddler with sly & robbie ...that was a very decent album..i mean compared to the usual suspects it deserves as good as a review.. and it s great to hear a voice without autotune ! - cmm Wed, 17 Dec 2008 17:05:23 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/reviews/december-2008/musiq-soulchild-200812157023/#comment-11823 @ DIGABLE PLANET KANYE'S BEEN WACK SINCE ALBUM #2 - TELL THE WORLD MY NAME Wed, 17 Dec 2008 15:15:48 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/reviews/december-2008/musiq-soulchild-200812157023/#comment-11797 Music is not dying these days! R&B/Soul and Hip-hop have been amazing this year! Al Green, Dwele, Raphael Saadiq, Solange, the Foreign Exchange, Q-Tip, The Roots, and Kanye West have all had amazing albums! I think Heartbreak and 808s is Kanye West's best album by far! OnMyRadio seems more interesting than Musiq's last album which features several great songs, but some uninteresting filler too. This album seems more unique and less filler. - MichaelH Wed, 17 Dec 2008 10:16:35 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/reviews/december-2008/musiq-soulchild-200812157023/#comment-11757 Music is dying these days... Common? Musiq? Kanye? Usually solid albums...but they all gotta make their labels happy somehow. When was the last time those 3 cats, back to back to back, made me say "Meh..."? Not good... Thank goodness for Foreign Exchange!! - DigablePlanet Tue, 16 Dec 2008 15:51:55 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/reviews/december-2008/musiq-soulchild-200812157023/#comment-11753 probably my least favorite of all the musiq albums. i'd mark it in the 7 range as well. hopefully it needs a few more listens to completely grow, otherwise i'll be anxiously awaiting a better effort. - yelo.

He should have left the song "radio" off the record. - 937andheartbreak Tue, 16 Dec 2008 13:34:25 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/reviews/december-2008/musiq-soulchild-200812157023/#comment-11742 He had me shook w/ that single he dropped a lil while ago... - TELL THE WORLD MY NAME Tue, 16 Dec 2008 12:32:30 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/reviews/december-2008/musiq-soulchild-200812157023/#comment-11738 8.3's a little bit too forgiving...I'd go with a 7.5 - DigablePlanet Tue, 16 Dec 2008 12:14:05 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/reviews/december-2008/musiq-soulchild-200812157023/#comment-11737 i like this guy sometimes. he makes cool cookout music but either his songs all sound the same or they're not good... his box is large but inescapable decent review. i might pick this up to have something to play around the ladies - yeahyeahyeah Tue, 16 Dec 2008 12:10:32 +0100
