MARQUES HOUSTON
FAMOUS
2013
Matress Music was hella dope and quite the surprise.
This time around it looks like Marques got his
D'Angelo on and boy is it fantastic.
First up though, let's talk production. Now this is
exactly what R&B has been missing in the last couple of
years. The drums in particular. This feels like the good
old days again. Easy kicks with the right kind of snares
and the rhythm and groove that makes R&B such
a great genre. No futuristic sounding drums with horrible
melodies and flows. First Brian McKnight, then Joe and
now Marques (not to forget TGT & Charlie Wilson).
R&B definitely made one hell of a comeback.
As for the vocal production, you know things are right back
were they should be when every single line in the verses
has a great melody all in its own. Nothing boring at all.
With all that said, this album, however great, is just a notch
below Joe and Brian McKnight. Still man, this album
is sweet as hell and such an easy smooth ride to just
have on in the background or when you want to zone out.
Props to you Marques for keeping it real and back to
giving us that feel again from the golden days.
I need to bump a few more times for a final rating, but
for now this is definitely up there! Go get it!
(Btw, what a great take on Marvin's classic huh!!)
