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. This is Musiq's best album. You will NOT be disappointed in getting 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. If you are a true R & B lover this is the album for you. I am telling everyone I know to get it.
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. The subjects he sings about are just what women want to hear uttered from the male species. 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. This is a fine work, complete will the infusion with all types of music like R&B, gogo, reggae and soul. 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.
Musiq chooses some great artists to collaborate with such as the fantastic Mary J. I have enjoyed all of his albums and "OneMyRadio" is definitely no exception. Blige and the incredible Damien Marley. "Moneyright"5.
Musiq Soulchild has always been more mature than most of his contemporaries, namely when it comes to his lyrics. I like almost everything Damien does anyway. 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. One of my absolute favorite tracks is a ballad called "Someone." I had this song on repeat for a while. There are lots of piano, bass and drum found on this track and both artists do very well. "Until"4. His lyrics are so sincere and beautiful, any mature woman can't help but appreciate his lyrics. "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. The hook is nice, also. "Loveofmylife"3. "Iwannabe"
I will state nothing but the truth the way I see it. "Deserveumore" has an old school style. I didn't know what direction he was going in. Then I heard him say this album would be different from his previous work.
But the standout of this CD is "Love Of My Life". If you recently gone through a break up, it might bring you to tears. When his first single "Radio" dropped and I was highly disappointed. I have been a fan of Musiq from the beginning. He takes a chance with the uptempo "Money Right", but I actually like it.
And "Someone" is a weak, mushy ballad. 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. With the exception of "Soulstar", each album was better than the last. Its an attempt to achieve longevity.
When I first heard Musiq was coming out with a new CD, I was excited. But all is not good. The reggae influenced, "I Wanna Be" ft Damian Marley seems out of place. Its filled with so much power. Of course he has his classic slow jams. Sometimes it doesn't work (Lyfe Jennings, Jaheim), but Musiq has found a way to stay fresh. I was very skeptical.
Five albums in the game and he keeps getting better. 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. The best being "So Beautiful", where he channels his inner Maxwell and sings the whole song in falsetto. Many artist try to do something different.
This Cd is the JUmp Off. It has a little something for any type of swagger. R:B, Hip Hop, Dance Hall. I love it better than his last two albums combined.
