The urge to compare your current beau to the beaus of the past can be an unavoidable ordeal. “Make it last forever/Not just for one night.” “We can take our time girl/Lets get it right,” he sings. He chooses the latter and saves his future lover from having to admit that she’s not ready to go to fourth base. While he’s laying out the causes, he’s also showcasing why he’s the antidote to her love drought.Ĭhanneling his inner Marvin Gaye, the time for intimacy is on Soulchild’s mind, but his partner’s mixed signals make it hard for him to decipher if he should set the mood or wait for the right moment. Soulchild puts on his specs and lab coat to diagnose an unidentified woman with the reasons why love seems to be a figment of her imagination. The dance party is just getting started as Soulchild doesn’t allow a former acquaintance to kill his vibe.
This doesn’t serve as a bathroom break in the middle of the 19-track project. The self-confidence continues on “Future.” If you need a pick-me-up, hit play on this track and allow Soulchild to be your life coach in fulfilling those goals that are within your reach. Soulchild reminisces on a past relationship and although it didn’t work out, he doesn’t regret the mistakes he made because it “enhanced” his character. This melody follows the quintessential template of rhythm and blues: regret, love lost and a production that pulls at the heartstrings just as forceful as the lyrics. The question of can you sleep with your friend and not catch feelings is explored on the replay-worthy “Halfcrazy.” Soulchild caught feelings for a longtime confidant once they “crossed the line.” Now, it looks like those days of just chilling and joking are far behind them. 6, Musiq is ready to share his fountain of love that seems to overflow when he stares at his lover-so much so that it pushes him to the brink of insanity as heard down below. With croons that are reminiscent of Aaliyah, it’s fitting that this song is titled “Babygirl.” By the time we reach track No. With a clever double entendre, he belts out, “I wanna thank your father/ For making you on that day.” From the knock of the church organ to the rattling of a tambourine, Soulchild stands before the congregation to testify on a love so profound that he had to shout hallelujah. The Philly native pledges allegiance to his girl’s love kingdom with the fervor of a church choir. This melody could’ve been the precursor to 2007’s “B.U.D.D.Y.” with all of the “maybes” that are littered throughout the track. Soulchild is ready to become exclusive, but he can’t tell if his other half is on the same wavelength.
The moment when you try to figure out the difference between “talking” and “dating” rears its head on this thumping track.
AAries serves as that vocal figure on “Caughtup” where Soulchild seemingly rekindles an old flame that he plans to pursue once the formalities are out the way. The utilization of a woman’s voice plays a central role throughout this soundscape.
“Everything is cool when love is all brand new/ ‘Cause you’re learning me and I’m learning you,” he sings. Via his cellular device, he gets to know his potential lifelong partner through a set of questions from “what’s your sign” to occupation to meeting the parents one day. Soulchild begins his journey to the land where lovers lay by getting over those awkward phone conversations.
