Striking another blow for the fertile Philadelphia neo-soul
movement is Musiq, whose sophomore bow JUSLISEN (JUST LISTEN)
packs 70-plus minutes of songs overflowing with thick beats,
juicy jams, and the Soulchild’s sweet singing. Avoiding the
trite practice of loading up on celebrity cameos, Musiq
instead handles much of the heavy lifting himself with
songwriting partner Carvin Haggins. Continuity is at the heart
of JUSLISEN, as many of the songs are sequels to numbers
appearing on his debut AIJUSWANASEING.

Slow jam “Time” takes an abstract approach towards romance,
not unlike the previoius album’s “Love.” The Stevie
Wonder-flavored “Newness” follows up on the pursuit of “Girl
Next Door,” and the hip-hop-laced “Caughtup” follows
through on “Seventeen.” Even Musiq’s breakthrough smash
“Just Friends (Sunny)” finds its thread wending through the
midtempo thump of “Stoplayin.” Best of all is “Religious,”
which starts out with the ambiance of a church revival
service before diving straight into funk mode via a sample
of the groove-packed Meters nugget “Thinking.” Equally
worthy is a sweetly delivered cover of the late George
Harrison’s ballad “Something” that’s given a twist with
some subtle vamping.

The confusingly constructed title of the debut album by Musiq
translates to “I just want to sing,” and that intention is
born out impressively throughout this recording. The album’s
placement on Def Jam’s Def Soul imprint is not insignificant,
as Musiq is a true R&B/hip-hop hybrid. The arrangements aren’t
just R&B tracks with hip-hop beats grafted on, they’re a true
fusion of the two. It’s also clear that Musiq stretches the
boundaries in terms of his influences, as touches of everyone
from Stevie Wonder to Bobby McFerrin can be heard in his
delivery. Like any classic R&B singer, though, Musiq presents
himself as a love man of the first degree, and the album’s
focus is decidedly centered on the ins and outs of romance.
