Not a whole lot has changed in 's world since releasing his second album in 2002 -- if this really isn't the case, you wouldn't know it from. He's still following in the tradition of his '70s-era idols, he's still taking liberties with the compoundwords for his song titles, and he's still making modern soul that's equally classy and absorbing.

Otherwise, this is one of the finest contemporary R&B releases of 2003, with both style and substance in good supply.
