Musiq Soulchild
Buddy
Re-Release Date: 3/13/2007
Anthony Rupert (4 out of 5 stars) Musiq stated in an interview that the reason he dropped Soulchild from his name after his first album Aijuswanaseing is because that he didn t feel he d perfected his craft yet. Well, since he reattached it for his fourth album Luvanmusiq, it s probably safe to assume that he believes he has now indeed perfected the craft. And I have to agree.
To be honest, this is only the second album from Musiq that I even like (Aijuswanaseing was the first). I thought Juslisen was overrated, and I REALLY didn t like Soulstar. The main problem with both of those albums was that a lot of the songs sounded exactly like Just Friends (Sunny) . Because of this, I was worried when I first heard B.U.D.D.Y. True, it doesn t share the same beat, but it s about the same topic: he can t get a girl out of his mind but they don t have to be a couple. Fortunately, the rest of the album is more varied.
