Musiq Soulchild is the most enduring male solo artist to come out of the Philly soul movement that also gave us Jill Scott and Bilal, and now that he lives in Atlanta, home to some of the hottest names in urban music (T.I., Usher), he's got a new confidence.

He hasn't abandoned his romantic roots, but he was wise to enrich them with Southern charm. B+
