RUBEN STUDDARD - UNCONDITIONAL LOVE

RUBEN STUDDARD
UNCONDITIONAL LOVE
2014

A much as I wished for original recordings,
if Michael Buble and Harry Connick Jr. can
remake the classics, I'm happy that Ruben
has done the same here with this fantastic
selection of songs. While you might have to
get used to some of these melodies being sung 
in this way, it is so damn smooth and a great
arrangement from David Foster who helped
Ruben do what he does best. Sing like an angel.
This album is a must. Thank you mr. Studdard!
Overall Score: 9/10

Sidenote: Nobody has ever done Teddy Pendergrass'
"Close the Door" as good as Montell Jordan did on his debut album.
Montell became a pastor in 2010 leaving the R&B scene,
which besides being a great thing for him and his family,
was a turn of events fro me. R&B would never be the same again.
Montell will always be my favourite alongside Joe & R. Kelly.

Sidenote 2: not to take away from Ruben, but nobody will
ever do "If this world were mine" like Luther Vandross, R.I.P.
