Raheem devaughn love behind the melody rarest

Holiday's 'Bed,' and the anthemic 'Woman' (an extension of 'You''s proud pro-woman theme, nominated for a Grammy prior to the album's release), are not likely to dismay those who are opposed to modern pop/R&B. Even 'Customer,' with its gently twisting, lullaby-like resemblance to J.

DeVaughn's new nickname is just one part of a subtly aggressive attempt at attaining further commercial appeal: Scott Storch, Chucky Thompson, Orthodox & Ransum, Kwamé, and Bryan-Michael Cox are all brought onboard to give Love Behind the Melody more of a mainstream R&B radio sound without making it seem like a blind stab at sales. By word of mouth and persistent rotation on 'grown folks'-type R&B video programs, DeVaughn gradually developed enough of a following - including vocal admirer Alicia Keys - to make his follow-up a rather anticipated release.

Despite reaching the Top Ten of the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, 2005's The Love Experience didn't crack the Top 40 of the Billboard 200, and none of its excellent singles (including 'Guess Who Loves You More' and 'You') came near the Top 30 of any chart. 'The R&B Hippie Neo-Soul Rock Star' - wait, isn't that Cody ChesnuTT? Or is that Van Hunt? Erykah Badu? Regardless, that's what Raheem DeVaughn is calling himself, and it's likely a catch phrase intended to gain some more of the attention the singer deserves. Purchase and download this album in a wide variety of formats depending on your needs.
