Synopsis

Amazon.com
On this compilation CD the stars are aplenty. With Macy Gray lacing the moody "We've Got Enough" with more urgency than she managed on The Id, Nelly Furtado's off-kilter "Legend," and Erykah Badu doing her cloying jazz routine on the somewhat precious "Today," some of the brightest lights in neo soul give it their all. Yet while this hodgepodge of remixes, album cuts, and new material might manifest the might of marquee power, it's the new jacks who come close to stealing the spotlight. Witness Jack Herrera's tangy soul stylings on the sexy "High Off You" or the creamy seduction of "Don't You Forget It" by Glenn Lewis, two more examples of the silky grooves this CD offers. --Amy Linden

Can't Go Wrong If You Try.....

"With a roster including Erykah Badu, Macy Gray, The Roots, Jill Scott, and other talented artists, it's no wonder the CD is hypnotic. This is beautiful urban music. I bought it today and have already listened to it four times!! I can't get enough. The whole CD is great, some of my favorites are: GLITCHES- Amel Larrieux's voice is as smooth as silk and Black Thought's rhyme is hot as always, TODAY- This song is very melodic and the background flute makes it flow seemlessly. And Erykah Badu's lyrics are as beautifully simple as always ("you got bugs in your house that you let run free.. but if they don't bug you then they don't bug me"), WE'VE GOT ENOUGH- Macy Gray never misses. A beautiful song about a love that satisfies all wants and needs. STILL SEARCHING REMIX- The beat is hot!! An awesome reggae song featuring the sons of reggae, the Marley brothers. Hip-Hop, R&B, reggae, no matter what your flavor, this album delivers a delicious taste of some of the great artists out right now."

"5 of these tracks I've heard from other Compilation and Soundtracks including 'Glitches', 'Butterfly', and 'Legend.' The suprises are the great gems from artist like Glen Lewis, Jack Herrera, Don Scribbs. This is the first series of many to come. I very good mixture of soul and R&B. Jill Scotts remix I'm not feeling at all and Macy Grey needs to clear her throat before she steps in front of another Mic, the track 'we've got enough' has me pressing next before it hits the 00:05 count on my CD player. Favorite tracks are: Today - Erykah Badu, Don't You Forget It - Glenn Jones, Butterfly - India Arie, High Off You - Jack Herrera, Legend - Nelly Furtado and When Your Ups Are Down - Don Scribbs. oNe"

"Great album. The heavy hitters (Erykah Badu, Jill Scott, Macy Gray, and Nelly Furtado) drop some great tracks. The album also features some great up and comers. The still searching remix by Damian Marley, Stephen Marley, and Yami Bolo is really strong. Great album, I recommend it to any R&B/Soul fan."
