Her sweet, butterfly-like voice has been recognized in groundbreaking musical compositions with Little Brother, Nicolay, and Erykah Badu to name a few. Known to most as YahZarah, she possesses the ability to move mountains with her music. Barely standing 5 feet tall, the District of Columbia born singer and songwriter is a modern day superhero. Dana Nicole Williams is an example of such wonder. Others simply reveal their incredible powers and humbly expose their incomparable strengths to the public. Some manage to carefully balance the worlds between human compassion and existential responsibility. Many of them walk amongst us disguised as normal everyday people, and then disappear into the shadows of our mundane and over-programmed lifestyle.

Musiq doesn't hide his love for classic soul - he's seen on the back cover digging through crates of vinyl, surrounded by eight-tracks - but the great thing about what he pulls off on Juslisen is that this love is absorbed, ingrained in the very music, so while it's reminiscent of Stevie Wonder or Marvin Gaye at times, it never feels like a forced attempt to follow in their footsteps. Then, he and his producers know how to deliver a sound that at once hearkens back to classic '70s soul and feels lushly contemporary.

First of all, he and his collaborators are first-class writers, sustaining interest not just through the singles, but through the album tracks. And, to be sure, it is that, a wonderfully romantic mood album, but it's more than that because Musiq has other skills besides crooning and keeping a mood.

He lays back on the groove but doesn't disappear into it - he deepens it and gives it character, making this more than a supremely seductive neo-soul record. One of the most appealing things about Musiq is that he never oversells his songs, never indulges in hyperbolic screams or exaggerated grunts and moans. On his second album, Juslisen, Musiq - who dropped the '(Soulchild)' surname - delivers on the promise of his debut, turning in a slyly assured, smoothly sexy collection of neo-soul.
