Free Music Review: Until Ree Comes Out with a New One, Nesby is IT!
Hit: 5 Stars

Nesby and a bevy of producers have presented a disc that is contemporary R &B while maintaining the integrity of the artist's gospel roots.

Kicking off the set with sultry "Seasons," the singer follows that track with the reflective "She Can't Love You." This particular cut should resonate with all ladies that have had to deal with "the other woman." Backed by a superbly arranged chorus, Nesby's voice has never sounded stronger.

Next up (following a short "interlude") comes the title cut, a current radio favorite featuring none other than The Reverend Al Green. These two are, forgive the cliché, "a match made in Heaven." Only he can match the singer's passion and strength.

Track number five, "Tonight's the Night" is a hip-hop ditty with rap by "Big Mike." With proper promotion, the song should garner a youthful following.

"I Can't Get Over You," "You Always Cared,"and "Where Would I Be" are uniquely different lyrically but Nesby's intensity is the stuff that makes them so cohesively like one.

The Sounds of Blackness, Nesby's former recording partners, is on hand to accompany the singer on the inspirational "I'm Your Friend."

Ready for Mother's Day is "Advice," a duet with Jamecia Bennett. There are not enough adjectives to describe how wondrous this composition is.

To call any cuts "weak" is to be unfair. But, the remaining songs ("Lovin' Is Really My Game," "Let Your Will Be Done," and "Love Is What You Need"), released earlier in their original forms and dance remixes on "Love is What We Need (The Dance Essentials)," work for their intended audience: the dance club crew. However, if her record label is trying to market Nesby as a "disco diva," it is truly in error.

Such a powerhouse vocalist does not deserve to be "categorized" in one musical genre.

The lady can do them all!!!
