Editorial Reviews

With his smooth, sonorous tone, Jaheim is the forerunner and torch-carrier of today's soul-originated R&B. A vocalist in the tradition of such greats as Teddy Pendergrass and Luther Vandross, he signed with former Naughty By Nature beat man Kay Gee's Divine Mill record label in 2000. Jaheim released three albums over five years: his 2001 debut, Ghetto Love; 2002's sophomore set, Still Ghetto - both of which reached RIAA platinum status; and 2006's Ghetto Classics. During that time, he also scored nominations for the BET and Soul Train Music Awards. In 2007, the chart-topping artist returned with his Atlantic Records debut, The Makings of a Man. After taking time off following the release of Ghetto Classics, Jaheim returned with a renewed focus on the direction in which he wants to take his career.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Voice now has The Album to match., February 9, 2010

I've been a fan of the voice but not of the content. This has kept me from really enjoying Jaheim. I like sharing great artists with my kids and other like-minded people. The thug stuff is a big turn off for me. Therefore when I hear this type of stuff, I pretty much just dismiss it pretty quickly. I still give artists a chance to improve and mature. Some like Jamie Foxx and R. Kelly just seem to stagnate and pander to the lowest common denominator. So when I saw Jaheim had a new album I gave it a listen and soon after a purchase.

Zune Pass is your friend.
Jaheim has stepped out of the box and delivered something I have been waiting for. The cuts on this album remind me of Lamar from England who for some reason doesn't get released in the US. This is real modern R&B music made by a man with a classic R&B voice.

I can now put him in the category with Anthony Hamilton,Kenny Lattimore,Jacksoul,and Lemar who respect the legacy of R&B music,but at the same time keep it modern and fresh.

The Voice now has The Album to match.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jaheim's best!, February 9, 2010

I heard Jaheim on the Steve Harvey show promoting his album and saying that he thought this was his best album. I have to totally agree. I was also very happy to see that there are no explicit lyrics. This is definitely the best. Keep up the good work Ja.

5.0 out of 5 stars From a Thug...To A Grown Man, February 11, 2010

For fans of true R&B, this is the CD we have been waiting for from Jaheim. His four previous releases were solid efforts and gave us all something to chill and jam to (i.e. `Just in Case', `Anything', `Fabulous', `Never', `Back Tight', etc.) but it always seems like he was holding back and not pushing himself to give fans music that would transcend time and not just be for the moment (trendy). And the biggest gripe that I had (and others had) was his use of profanity that was unnecessary. Somewhere between his last CD and this new one, he finally got it. This is the first CD of Jaheim's I can truly say I enjoyed from beginning to end (no profanity, period!!!). Stand out tracks are `Ain't Leaving Without You', `Finding My Way Back', `II Pink Lines', `Closer' and `Whoa'. But the BEST track on the CD is "In My Hands". Let me put it like this, this song displays the vulnerability and sensitivity that fans of Luther Vandross will really enjoy. This song will bring chills to you and you find yourself putting this song on repeat...this is a future wedding song classic and major hit. Thank You Jaheim for giving us music fans some grown folks music...there is still hope for true R&B.
