by Cherelle & Alexander O’Neal: It’s Saturday and I’m talking to My Love right now, so it is only right that I listen to this song. This song popped into my head earlier as I was taking a shower and while singing I had a thought. It has been a while since I had one of these thoughts, but this is a good one! Groundbreaking Thought: We very seldom have an R&B duet that includes a male and a female. Twenty years ago there were duets such as Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell, Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway, Rick James & Teena Marie, and Diana Ross & Lionel Richie. If Alicia Keys and John Legend were to make a song together the track would be a guaranteed hit. Similarly, if Jill Scott and Musiq Soulchild sang a song together, the track would be a classic! It is such a shame that duets are not prevalent anymore. Then I realized, if “artists” now aren’t 100% by themselves, you definitely can not bring whack people calling themselves “artists” together to make musical history. I wonder if times will ever change…

I must reiterate how good this Raheem Devaughn album is! I know I missed the album release, but I will say again and again that this is a must-have cd. Even if you have to obtain a bootleg, get it! That’s how I got my copy My bestests, the name my best friends and I gave ourselves, and I love the most recent Jill Scott album, The Real Thing: Words and Sounds Vol. 3. I am making a comparison for my bestests and anyone who loves Jill as an influential female neo-soul artist: Raheem is the male version of Jill Scott!?! Some compare him to Marvin Gaye, while I put him in a category of his own! I’m addicted to this cd.
