This collection of songs somewhat resemble his last album, "Pictures", with the exception that this album is more refined, keeping production to minimum while the maintaining the focus on the the actual music as a whole. "Exist" is a beautiful blend of jazz, r&b and other elements that are ever so scarce in today's music, originality and true, undiluted talent. If what you are looking for is the next overproduced trend that you will hear at the club, you should really look elsewhere; this entire album embodies what music now in days should be, real music, not trends and fads.
Personal favorites for me are "Part the Waves", "Jordan", "I Wanna Be", "Days", & "Do What I Do". You will easily find yourself listening to the entire album repeatedly, as I found myself doing, and you will definitely want to relish each track over and over again.
This album deeply expresses so much, exploring themes of intimacy, love, longing, and seperation; yet all these feelings are conveyed in such a beautiful way. The entire album is smooth and mellow from begining to end; even though this album is a little different those released in the past, it is definitely something anybody can enjoy, Tony Rich fan or not.

Additionally, you might want to check out the bonus tracks for Japan, "Do What I Do", and Circuit Ciy, "Days"; both songs are without a doubt reasons for buying multiple copies of this album. Just to reiterate what I stated before, this Japan import only includes "Do What I Do" as a bonus track and "Days" is only available on the Circuit City version of this album.

Every year there are only a handful of albums that qualify as real music and Tony Rich's project Exist is one of them. This album will leave you feeling music and not listening to repetitive and monotonous music other artists put out. I must recommend the following tracks: 1, Part The Waves; 3, Jordan; 4, According to You; 7, I Wanna Be and 8, Anymore. His voice and the production are match made in heaven. If you are a serious neo-soul listener this is a must for your music library.

YOU GOT TO GET THIS ALBUM!! IT'S JUST SOO RELAXING!!! THE MUSIC AND THE LYRICS JUST FLOW RIGHT TOGETHER. THE MUSIC ON THIS ALBUM IS SOO REAL!! IF YOU LOVE RELAXING MUSIC AND LOVE NEO-SOUL THEN THIS IS THE ALBUM JUST FOR YOU!! PICK UP A COPY TODAY!!

The "Sweet Addiction" to "Sugar Hill" helped me "Part The Waves" even though "I Already Know" that "It Would Be A Sin". This perfectly named album lets me know that through this day and age soulful music can still "Exist".

All I can say is this is the most grown and sexiest album I have ever heard. I put this cd in my car 4 months ago, and it's still in heavy rotation. If you don't have this cd, you are totally cheating yourself. Please take the time out to preview and purchase.. Tony Rich totally shocked me with this one!!!

Tony has captured the spirit and soul in his music. He puts out music for himself first within his soul and through his mind he delivers incredible music. I wish that everyone could experience Tony Rich Project. I am a white guy in the back woods of Virginia. Tony Rich breaks all ethnic and racial barriers in his music. He delivers is powerful riffs and mind wandering lyrics for all of us to grasps. Its funny how great music is never heard and there is so much trash played on the radio. I own all of Tony's album each one has a different feel and meaning. You should buy them all. Lets keep the real great music artists alive.

This Album is clearly a must buy item!!! It's incredible, I'm actually loving every song on the album. Each song just blends well with the next, it's that feel good music you like to listen to at the end of a hard day. The production in this album is amazing and Tony Rich is clearly a talented musician. This is great music to ride to. But don't take my word for it, click above and let the music speak for itself!!!

it's great that we are able to experience this artist yet again. Music has truly missed him. I love the new album and wish more artists wrote music evoked the same soul.

Talk about a work of art! Just as the album cover evokes a spirit of tranquilty and peace, so does EVERY one of the tracks. Trust it will move you like you need to be moved...

This album is clearly the work of a genius. It has so much of Tonys' soul in it,the melody and the lyrics just put you in such a calming, serene state of mind that you just want to sit back and listen to every word he's saying to you and take it all in. Every song on the album flows together perfectly keeping the feeling of relaxation. Im defianantly in aw!
