Luvanmusiq (2007)

EW's GRADE
B

Details Release Date: Mar 13, 2007; Lead Performance: Musiq Soulchild; Genre: R&B

The current R&B charts are filled with filthy come-ons courtesy of crass horndogs like Akon and Pretty Ricky. Enter Philadelphia singer Musiq Soulchild, whose fourth album of gently funky neo-soul, Luvanmusiq, debuted at No. 1 last week, proving that there still is a market for a charmer among the sleazebags. His urbane, sensitive-guy exterior, however, hides yet another man with a one-track mind. ''I pulled out her chair so that we could leave,'' he sings on ''Ms. Philadelphia.'' His next line? ''Can you spend the night with me?''
