Both the music and lyrics on this CD are just as good, if not better than, previous CDs.
The whole album from beginning to end is just so HOTT. If you are a true R & B lover this is the album for you. This is Musiq's best album. You will NOT be disappointed in getting it. I am telling everyone I know to get it. As a long time fan I can definitely see his maturity. Songs like Ifuleave, Deserveumore, Loveofmylife, Moneyright, Someone, Iwannabe & Sobeautiful really show his appreciation and respect for women and I am completely in love with it.
One of my absolute favorite tracks is a ballad called "Someone." I had this song on repeat for a while. I have enjoyed all of his albums and "OneMyRadio" is definitely no exception. In this song, the guys are telling their new women that they want to be in their lives for more than a day or two. His lyrics are so sincere and beautiful, any mature woman can't help but appreciate his lyrics.
Musiq chooses some great artists to collaborate with such as the fantastic Mary J. "Loveofmylife"3. "Until"4. "Moneyright"5. Musiq Soulchild has always been more mature than most of his contemporaries, namely when it comes to his lyrics. The subjects he sings about are just what women want to hear uttered from the male species. Blige and the incredible Damien Marley. I like almost everything Damien does anyway.
Musiq tries his luck with reggae on the song that features Damien, "Iwannabe." Musiq knows just who to work with; they do a fine job. He does a fine job with the delivery and the lyrics are so touching.If you are looking for an R&B album that speaks on almost every area of relationships and an album that is a bit different, please pick "OnMyRadio" up. "Iwannabe" "Someone"2. Musiq and Mary collaborate on a track entitled "Ifuleave" and while it is not my favorite moment on the album, the fact that two extremely talented artists came together and did a song is enough for me. Sure, it has the classic Musiq Soulchild sound, but he tries to be innovative on a few tracks, and doing that worked in his favor.Mikeisha's Top 51.
Songs such as "Love", "Justfriends" and Dontchange" are perfect examples. Great subject matter. The hook is nice, also. This is a fine work, complete will the infusion with all types of music like R&B, gogo, reggae and soul. There are lots of piano, bass and drum found on this track and both artists do very well.
I was very skeptical. With the exception of "Soulstar", each album was better than the last. I didn't know what direction he was going in. But all is not good. When I first heard Musiq was coming out with a new CD, I was excited.
Five albums in the game and he keeps getting better. Its an attempt to achieve longevity. Sometimes it doesn't work (Lyfe Jennings, Jaheim), but Musiq has found a way to stay fresh. I will state nothing but the truth the way I see it.
I have been a fan of Musiq from the beginning. When his first single "Radio" dropped and I was highly disappointed. But the standout of this CD is "Love Of My Life". The reggae influenced, "I Wanna Be" ft Damian Marley seems out of place. "Deserveumore" has an old school style. He takes a chance with the uptempo "Money Right", but I actually like it.
Its filled with so much power. Of course he has his classic slow jams.
Many artist try to do something different.
If you recently gone through a break up, it might bring you to tears. Then I heard him say this album would be different from his previous work.
And "Someone" is a weak, mushy ballad. The best being "So Beautiful", where he channels his inner Maxwell and sings the whole song in falsetto.
But once I heard, "IfUleave" with Mary J, my hope was regained.First off me being from Philly(UPTOWN BABY 72nd & OGONTZ)has no influence on my review. And he continues that trend with "OnMyRadio".As he promised, Musiq has come with a different sound than we are use to hearing from him.
I love it better than his last two albums combined. R:B, Hip Hop, Dance Hall. This Cd is the JUmp Off. It has a little something for any type of swagger.
