What Is Neo Soul? {5 Stars}

"I agree with Mistermaxx, this is simply good music. Neo Soul is nothing more than a label used by companies to get the "bohemian dollar", if you will. This is good soul music. Nothing more, nothing less. There's not a whole lot to be said about the album due to it's short running time -- 6 tracks at around 38 minutes. The sound quality is good, the background singers are on point, and D'Angelo knocks this one out of the park. He even tackles an Earth Wind & Fire classic with relative ease. Whether you are a D'Angelo fan or you just dig good r&b, you should get your hands on this.



Ignore the stooge that is trying to sell this for $100 though...it's not THAT good. I'd probably pay $20 - $30 for this, max."

You cant knock deangelo right? well...

"ok, you cant knock deangelo. but you can knock the quality of the recording on a live show. i think the recording of this album just doesnt have warmth to it. of course he does his classic tracks which makes this album good..but i cant take too much of it because all the songs sound distant."
