Reviews Customer Reviews for Juslisen      Jusloveit      Rating:      Musiq Soulchild is one of those artists that always shows their potential for greatness at every opportunity. I liked Aijuswanaseing but this album I love. Newness sounds like an updated version of Just Friend(Sunny) but its passable. Caught Up, Stoplayin, Babygirl, Realove are the funky tracks that Musiq always seems to excell in. Halfcrazy(first single), Dontchange, Onenight and Time are the beautiful love ballads that Musiq always excells in. Future is Musiq giving you words of inspiration that you should follow your dreams no matter what. Something is a decent rendition of the George Harrison tune by the same name. IfIwouldaknew(Girlnextdoor remix) feat Aaries is pretty solid too. There are some tracks I could do without. Previouscats and So Long are two of them. BestFriend is not properly executed so it ends up being laughable especially when the guest vocalist Carol Riddick joins in to give her two cents. Religious is an okay track but MotherFather is ehhhh. Bottom Line: Musiq's Juslisten is a pretty good follow up and is another notch in Musiq's belt. There are some times when the album falters but those times are far and between. All in all it was a great effort by Soul Music's(I refuse to say Neo-Soul) brightest star. Standouts: CAUGHTUP, BABYGIRL, TIME,HALFCRAZY, FUTURE, REALOVE, and DONTCHANGE     Customer Reviews for Juslisen Cd      Musiq Soulchild- Juslisen      Rating:       Whoa! This is a blast from the past. This is such a good album, i will be the first to tell you, i did not like Aijuswanaseing, i thought it was boring so i was surprised i bought this album. But something told me to give him a second chance and i did and i do not regret it for a second. This album is so good to see compared to all the music now a days, everything R&B now a days is all poppy and dance stuff. Which is cool sometimes, but its nice to see someone bring back that 70s/80s retro groove soul, that stuff that puts you in a good mood. Thats what this whole album is, but obviously with a more new sound to it, but for the most part its the type of music Marvin or Teddy would be making today if they were around. And its great to see that someone can still make that kind of music and still succeed in the bubble gum world of music lately. This will be a classic album for the ages right here. Its going to put Musiq in a league of his own because besides D'Angelo and Maxwell on occasion no one has made and album with so much soul and groove in it at the same time. I mean the standout in my mind is "Religous" which is how Musiq describes his love for his girl, but its got this 70s soul bounce feel to it, just one listen to it and it puts you in good mood. Then the other track that sticks out in my mind right away is "Previouscats" which is actually one of the few songs on this album that doesnt have that soul feel to it, this is just another great cotemperary R&B track. Its a mid tempo story of how his woman doesnt trust him because of the pain caused by her previous boyfriends. I mean the positives are endless on this album and that goes without to mention the two smash singles "Dontchang" and "Halfcrazy". Just trust me buy this album, because i doubt there will be another one like this in a very long time. Grade: A Editorial Reviews for Juslisen Audio Cd      Amazon.com      The second album from Philadelphia's Musiq keeps the quality level high, mixing equal parts Luther Vandross, Stevie Wonder, and D'Angelo to good effect. Musiq's voice has noticeably matured--the puppy edge of Aijuswanaseing is gone--resulting in a rich tone that reflects a stylistic progression in his music. He's also expanded into new areas, including a slight touch of bossa nova on the excellent "Half Crazy." Meanwhile, "Caught Up" and "Religious" have a late-'80s Big Daddy Kane and Public Enemy feel, heralding a tougher hip-hop sound than the spangle-eyed, jelly-kneed love paeans Musiq included on the first album (such as "Girl Next Door" and "143"). Having said that, Aijuswanaseing remains the essential Musiq starting point, as there's little here that matches the genius of "Speechless" or "You Be Alright." But for those who want to hear the sound of an artist growing up, Juslisen is required listening. --Jake Barnes
