MARQUES HOUSTON - Mr.Houston (2009) This is his fourth studio album, a follow up to his 2007 Veteran album. First of all, i think Houston got a very extraordinary tone. Maybe the album is worth checkin out after all. Maybe. "Stranger" is a mid tempo song which is quite ok. "Restaurent" is kinda ok too although the anchor melody is kinda flat and boring. "Date" is bumpy but again, i hate autotunes. Then I realized that most of the songs here are kinda mediocre and flat. OK but a bit too boring for me. You can safely skip this one. Hey Houston trying challenge your vocals lah a bit more. DOWNLOAD

BOYZ II MEN - Love (2009) Do i need to review this? Do I? Enjoy! There is also a rumour that they will be recording an anniversary album that will be released in 2011. With all 4 original members! DOWNLOAD

PRETTY RICKY - Pretty Ricky (2009) This is the third and latest studio album by Pretty Ricky. I got the chance to listen to the first single, "Say A Command" and I think that the song is pretty forgettable. Maybe due to the usage of the bloody autotune which I dont really like. Well, for me if you wanna cheat your listeners, you better make sure that the music is damn good which was not the really the case here. Their version of "Pretty Brown Eyes" aint that impressive either. Listenable but thats it. This is the album with the new member who goes by the name of Lingerie. haha. Mark P would be laughing his ass off. Well, i was never a PR fan thus this is not my cup of tea. DOWNLOAD

B2K - Greatest Hits Back then I used to despise this group and it's signature bouncy type of RnB. I always thought that mid 90s RnB was the way it should have sounded like and it should have remained and retained that way. But that was then. Well now, I think the type of RnB this group championed back then should have stayed compared to the tracks you got nowadays, with all the synth shit and what not. The group that needs no introduction. "Bump Bump Bump", "Badaboom", "What A Girl Wants" and "Girlfriend" were all compiled here. This is an old album anyway. Im puttin it here just in case. DOWNLOAD

ALL 4 ONE - No Regrets (2009) They are still together and this is their latest album kicking off 2010. Apart from BoyzIIMen, this is THE group. I got all their albums damn it. No Regret is their 7th studio album. There is nothing new on this album except the widely used modern music arrangement. Expect the typical All-4-One pop tunes in the likes of their previous albums and like all their previous albums, one acappella track is a must and in this album its in the form of the funky cover of "You Dont Know Nothin" a song by another vocal group called For Real which they toured with back in the 90s. My favorite track, "If Sorry Never Comes" is nothing but an intoxicating track, can not stop from spinning that one. "If Your Heart Nots In" is a better cover. Way better than the original Westlife's version. Recommended because it is THE group. DOWNLOAD

RYAN LESLIE - Transition (2009) What can I say? Hot and dope beats with his soulful vocals layered perfectly on top with the hummable and memorable melodies. Transition is his second album. "To The Top" is a very bumpy track that will probably stay in my play list for quite a few days. "Is It Real Love" is nothing but pure genius. "Guardian Angel" is just terrific and sweet. The first single "You're Not My Girl" is just a sexy track. What I like about Leslie's album is the memorable and relaxing melodies with out relying too much on the wild ad-libs. My cup of tea. DOWNLOAD

BRIAN MC KNIGHT - Evolution of a Man (2009) Is this not the epitome of all things RnB? I am not really a big fan though. But I like this album. There are a mish mash of everything which reminded me of Stevie Wonder. A comeback album after snapping out of his divorce. That should explain why most of the songs were quite, how should i say it... spiritual and comforting? "Baby Its You" have that classic piano led ballad signature while "Always Be My Baby" is an acoustic guitar led track showcasing Mr.Knight in his comfort towering zone. "Never Say Goodbye" reminds me of Peter Cetera."I Miss You" is an awkward party track but lovable and "While" is a reggea jam like the one Stevie Wonder used to have back in 93 and "When Ur Lovin me"is just sexy. I like this album a lot. My cup of tea indeed. DOWNLOAD

RAPHAEL SAADIQ - The Way I See It (2009) When was this album released? 2009? You got to be kidding me? This must be at least a record from the 50's or the 60's. Seriously, if you want to feel some old school instrumental jives with a real old school top notch Motown era RnB & Jazz flava, with a soulful Little Richard of the millennium singin songs on top of it, then you got to try this unbelievable album. Raphael Saadiq, the only who got himself venturing into the RnB of 50's and got back with a handful of songs fit for an album that was supposed to be released in 1954. I was awestruck and was a bit freaked out at first. Try and preview this album. You wont regret it. Long live motown. Long live the old school. DOWNLOAD

CIARA - Fantasy Ride (2009) Ciara's third album is here. First of all I need to say that the first single "Love Sex Magic" featuring Mr. Sexyback, Justin Timberlake, is one hot party track. Just could not help but letting your flow loose on the dancefloor. The bass was phat and bumpy. The chorus was a definite hooker. No pun intended. The song "Turntables" featuring Chris Brown was listenable although it was a bit confusing at first. "Never Ever" featuring Young Jeezy was a very sweet listenable song with a very memorizable melodies that you will definitely find relaxing enough to sleep to. Even the ridiculous barks of Young Jeezy failed to ruin it. Try this album. I hate the cover though. Shes trying to be Cat Woman now? DOWNLOAD

PLEASURE P - The Introduction of Marcus Cooper (2009) What can i say? Got this album from the Rapvets. Holla. Pleasure P has a smooth vocals and me likey. If you fail to recognize this young lad, Pleasure P first started singin as one fourth of the very successful RnB Hip Hop group Pretty Ricky before embarking on a solo carrier in 2007 and The Introduction of Marcus Cooper is his twelve tracker debut album. Well, if you miss Pretty Ricky, you might want to get this album since it got its party beats trademark all over the place. I love the song "Brithday Suit" and "Dream in The Air". It got the pop and sentimental feelings in it and it will definitely be in my heavy rotation list. You will definitely love "Your Love" and "Let Me" if you are into the heart melting slow flicks. The only problem i have with this album is the sometime nasal voice of pleasure P. Try listen to "The Illusion". Pleasure P earned its maturity and it was show...

WILL DOWNING - Classique (2009) I have to admit that I am not really familiar with Will Downing even though he has been releasing albums since 1989. Classique is his latest offering. I do not which one should I recommend, His unique baritone vocals or the music on his songs but if it were up to me, i have to opt for the latter since I am not really a fan of his vocals. The singing was moderately mediocre to me, nothing impressive there thus leading me to believe that it was the music that make this album a big of a deal. Live instruments and percussion, varying from the old school RnB to Jazz to those typical Quiet Storm stuff here and there. Vocal wise? Just not my cup of tea. DOWNLOAD

CHICO DEBARGE - Addiction (2009) This is Chico Debarge's sixth album and it's called Addiction. If you like Chico's brand of sexy and silky smooth voice, I am very sure that you will fall in love with this album. All 15 tracks in it too. Always a prolific writer, that husky vocal tone of Debarge as heavily featured in songs like "Oh N0", "She Loves Me" and "I Want You" will surely melt the hearts and souls of every female creature on this good earth. Although it was quite surprising that I have found a few vocal glitches here and there. Like in "She Loves Me", it's quite funny to listen to Debarge missing hitting a high falsetto note in one particular part in that song. It sure ruined my evening. Musically this album is an excellent composition. You will find a few jazz here and there. Over all it is still a good album. Well, at least musically for me. Apart from that, its just not my cup of tea. DOWNLOAD

ANTHONY HAMILTON - The Point Of It All (2009) I got this one from Rapgodfathers. Big up to the nice people there for this album. I bet most of you will love this album. 14 tracks filled with soulful vocalizations. Anthony Hamilton is no rookie with his powerful rough and tough voice with crazy skills on the microphone. You will love the soulful tracks in the likes of "Please Stay" showcasing Hamilton's powerful vocals and the bluesy "Prayin For You/Superman" as a tribute to the old school part dance hall and part swingin blues jam on the keys. "Fine Again" is purely a fine gospel number and "I Did It For Sho" is a nice laid back cute jazz tune. All I can say is that you will find this album heavily influnced with gospel. For those who love a complete evolutionized from roots to the newer than new styles of RnB, than this album is for you. Although I am not a fan of Hamiltons but I still think this album is worth a try. Still not my cup of tea...

JEREMIH - Jeremih (2009) I got this one from Rapvet. A shout out to them for this album. Filled with club anthems that you may like. There is a little bit of Chris Brown and a bit of a younger version of Michael Jackson here and there for example in "Starting All Over". "Break Up to Make Up"sounds a bit like Sean Kingston singing without the silly patois. If you dont believe me, try and give this one a try. Jeremih's vocal is still far from impressive with a few glitches here and there and not to mention the lack of soul but a few more years of maturity, i bet this young man can provide us with a good vocal performence. It is a decent debut album so to speak. DOWNLOAD

GINUWINE - A Man's Thoughts (2009) This is the latest Ginuwine's album, a Man's Thoughts. Since I am still high on Joe's latest release I have to say that the yardstick for a good smooth neo soul and RnB album would be of his in comparison. So what about this one? This album contains 15 tracks that will and shall make you bounce. Ginuwine's vocals and tone are digestible I guess. Most of the songs are modern and loop oriented which is not my cup of tea. If you like ballads like moi, you will enjoy tracks like "When Im Mad" and the chocolate-esque "Touch Me" and "Orchestra" which is quite a hooker. Meanwhile the party song "Get Involved" featuring Timbaland and Missy Elliot is a hot party track filled with Timbaland's signature beat. All I can say that this album is a good and bouncy album. A good soundtrack for a chill party by the beach. Modern RnB enthusiasts, this one is for you. DOWNLOAD

MAXWELL - Black Summers Night (2009) Here is Maxwell's newest album BLACKSummers Night. I guess we shall groove in some Neo Soul and RnB releases for the next couple of downloads. There are a couple of very good songs in this album. Although I am not really a fan of Maxwell's voice but strong swinging ballad hooks in "Fistfull of Tears" and crunchy falsetto jam song like "Help Somebody" really pushed forward his tone a bit, although I am still far from impressed. Maybe I am still high with Joe's Signature album. But I bet most of you out there will love this album. It didnt jump straight to number one on the Billboard's RnB Hip Hop album chart for nothing. It was just not my cup of tea. DOWNLOAD

JOE - Signature (2009) You gotta love this guy and this is his latest album. What do you expect from Joe? I do not know about you but I am into his crazy ballad numbers and most of the songs in this album are slow numbers. "Worst Case Scenario" is one of the best ballad number, among other incredible numbers, in this album, easy to digest and the melody is just staggeringly relaxing. The same goes to "Wanna Be Your Lover" and "Very Special Friend". Joe's voice never changed, smooth and silky. Silky smooth. This is with out any shadow of a doubt another incredible RnB masterpiece. Recommended. DOWNLOAD

WAYNE BRADY - A Long Time Coming (2008) This is highly recommended if you like traditional RnB. The best album in 2008 if you ask me. Everybody knows Wayne Brady from the infamous Whose Line Is It Anyway improve show and everybody who used to watch that show would know that Brady got a very wonderful voice. This album is a damn must. He was nominated for Grammy for the best traditional vocal RnB performance for his Sam Cooke cover A Change Is Gonna Come. Being a long time fan, I was certainly amazed and to another certain extent stunned by his sometime angelic and sometime sexy voice. The bumpy and sexy, "Back In The Day" (which is my favorite song on the album) would just wanna make you strip and have sex. Try and give this album a proper listen, you wont regret it. DOWNLOAD
