Performer: Kevin Michael (R&B)
Distributor: WEA (Distributor) Notes: Additional personnel: Shorty Da Kid, Q-Tip, Wyclef Jean, Lupe Fiasco, Akil Dasan. Contemporary soulster Kevin Michael grew up making music, and the fruits of that journey are abundant on his full-length eponymous debut. Like his contemporaries John Legend and Jill Scott, Michael looks to the past for inspiration, drawing on Philly soul, Motown, early funk, and mainstream pop. Yet Michael synthesizes these elements artfully, coming up with a hybrid that's as unique and stylish as it is eclectic. A roster of heavyweight guest artists, including Wyclef Jean, Q Tip, and Lupe Fiasco, raise the album's already impressive standing.
Rolling Stone (p.125) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[O]n friendly jams like the lovestruck 'Hood Buzzin' and the slinky, Prince-esque 'We All Want the Same Thing,' Michael is a confident hookmeister and born crowd pleaser."
Vibe (p.96) - "[T]here's something refreshingly honest about the singer....A collection of mostly butterscotch ballads...deliciously liquid rhythm and blues."
