    I wrote a review that I am waiting for the edits on that should appear on
    SonicNet...we'll see. Won't post it yet, until then. But I can say that yes,
    there is a lot of that same old neo-soul stuff in here. But there is
    something a little different about Bilal vocally. I mean, he really
    vocalizes in the truest jazz tradition like John Hendricks. And then he also
    has this soft girly jazz thing like little Jimmy Scott.

    I think watching him is far better. He is so dramatic in performance and
    singing style. Very Black Church. Lots of whoop, wails, moans, and
    hollering. Don't know if you like that sort of thing. His vocals are
    strongest over his own productions though.

    I'll post the review once it goes through all of its stages at
    SonicNet...and if they leave out the stuff I feel is important, I'll also
    post what I originally wrote. At least, I think I will.

    Hope that this was helpful.
