The newcomer to
the R&B table, Musiq has two of the hottest singles rotating on urban radio stations
nowadays. Is this newfound fame deserving, or is just just two hot tracks out of a bunch
of duds?Scratch Introlude This is
basically a interlude where an MC spells out Musiq's first name while scratching on a
record in the background. Odd...

Girl Next
Door This song is about how a girl you grew up
with, and weren't exactly nice to, grew up to be a beautiful woman. Man, how many people
can relate to that. :-) Anyway, this laid back song is on point and definately get this
album off to a bangin start. Nice guitar in the background.
"If I woulda knew the girl next door woulda been
you, I woulda been nice to you, a little more kind to you. I woulda looked twice at
you." -Musiq
$3.50
You and Me
Whoo...another home hitting track. You know when your family and friends tell you a girl
ain't no good for you, but you ain't listening cause your heart tells you something
different. Man, this cat laying down some knowledge.
"If our friends and family, can't bare to see us
both happy. Then it'll be just you and me against the world". - Musiq
$3.50
Just
Friends First single, if you haven't heard it by now..WHERE THE HELL
HAVE YOU BEEN!?!?! This is hot, catchy hook, and another real song that most males can
relate to. The reason I got this album. I have felt the way about a couple of girls in my
life, seen a girl thats so damn good looking...you wouldn't mind just being friends with
her so you can be around her.
$5.00
"I'm not tryin to pressure you, just can't stop
thinking bout you. You ain't even really got to be my girlfriend. I just wanna know your
name, and maybe sometime we can hook up, hang out, just chill." -Musiq
Mary Go
Round Nice
little play of words here. The name of the girl is Mary, and Musiq tries everything he can
to please her but she just "Goes around" and hurts him. Mary Goes around, like a
Merry Go Round. More Knowledge.
"How can love be so kind and so gentle, and turn
and be so cold" -Musiq
$3.00
143
This is a pretty song, where Musiq tells his
girl that he loves her so much he had to express it in another way...using 1..2..3.
"Words get in the way. Things that
you really really mean to say. So I wanna take out this time to make sure how I really
feel get's through to you. Cause listen, their aren't many more ways in words that I can
say. So I chose to tell you how I feel in a numerical way." -Musiq
$3.00
Love Second
single off this blazin ass album. This track talks about the word "Love" and how
everyone mususes, and doesn't respect "love" the way they should. Deep ish man.
"Love, so many people use your name in vain. Love, those who have faith in
you..sometimes go astray." -Musiq
$4.00
My Girl This
song talks about how if there's anything his girl needs, that she shouldn't be afraid to
ask because she's his girl. This is a very good song, just not feeling this one like I am
the rest of the album.
"If there's anything that you need. Don't be afraid to ask, cause you're my
girl." -Musiq
$1.75
Musiq
Soulchild (Interlude) Musiq just lays down
some rhymes in a rapping form telling all his critics to shut up, his style is his own and
he wouldn't change it for no one. Hot beat
$1.25
Seventeen
A tale about dating a girl who ends up being
younger than she lets on. Very very real, this happens to somebody everyday.
"She was just 17 years old, and I was dead wrong from the door. I ain't trying
to see myself locked up for knocking off some young joy." - Musiq
$3.00
L' is Gone A
song about smokin hydro and getting your groove on. I can't relate to this, but it still
is a hot track.
"What we gon do with the L is gone, so we just roll some more so we can flow some
more. Or maybe I should just take you home, and make you feen for my (bleep) like a love
jones." -Musiq
$2.00
Speechless
On this one, Musiq talks about how he's so
into a girl that she has him speechless. There's a little scratching, like the opening
intro, in the background here. I think this is the one song on the album I'm just not
feeling.
"All I know, you've got me speehless" - Musiq
$.25
Poparatzi
What do the poparatzi do? Take pictures, so
the chorus has the words picture me repeated several times in it. This song is about the
guy trying to have the girl to picture how his life would be hell without her. Nice.
"Picture me down and out, lost without you."-
Musiq
$1.40
Settle For
My Love Old school..that's right folks. Go get
your old man, and your mom to groove to this slow grooving track. Songs about exactly what
the title says. This track is kind of long, but what old school tracks weren't? A young
lady by the name of Aaries duets with Musiq on this one, and this both sing their hearts
out about their love.
$1.25
You're
Alright Man..this song hits hard to me. This
song says that even though you're having troubles within your life, other people are going
through things that are just as bad to them. So if you make it past these
problems...you'll be alright.
"People have a tendency to think to
themselves that their the only ones going through more things than anyone
else"- Musiq
$2.50
This album is hot, I mean real hot. I'm talking best
R&B album of this year type ish. In fact, why the hell are you still reading this

myself, than you won't be dissapointed.
