album review
Four fine albums deep into a career with no Top Ten pop singles to his name, Musiq Soulchild went for broke with the single released prior to his fifth album. At least it kinda seemed that way: "Radio" sounded suspiciously like a cash-in on Atlanta snap, a la Dem Franchize Boyz's "Lean wit It, Rock wit It," or even Monica's "Everytime the Beat Drop," but it was a couple years late. It was almost shockingly out of character, if not clumsy and baffling. It appears as the last song on OnMyRadio, an album that, for the most part, sounds otherwise just like a Musiq Soulchild release. Highlights like "Until" and "So Beautiful" show that Musiq continues to thrive most when working with mellow midtempo and ballad material. The latter, a collaboration with Lee "J.R." Hutson (who played a significant role in the excellence of Jill Scott's The Real Thing), is one of the most unassumingly gorgeous cuts he has recorded, and the relatively upbeat and busy "Special" and "Money Right" deserve to be minor hits (at the least). A couple dramatic moments don't quite take full flight, and a handful of tracks are tepid and unmemorable, but OnMyRadio is mostly another set of sturdily constructed laid-back R&B. "Radio" hopefully didn't scare off anyone. ~ Andy Kellman, All Music Guide

Never a fan B4

- I was never a fan of Musiq since his debut back in 00-01. THIS album, however, made me a fan of him. Can't get enough of "Moneyright" and "Loveofmylife".

- I have so much to say about this brother but don't know where to begin. His artistry and creativity is phenomenal. Any one of his albums, you can just drop the needle and wherever it lands you'll be pleased. As you can tell I'm old school talking about "albums" instead of CD's or MP3's. If you haven't listened to him then you need to set aside some time and enjoy his sound. It's ridiculously good.
