If you like D'Angleo,Maxwell,Dwele,Musiq,Eric Roberson,Eric Benet,Rahsaan Patterson,Tommy Simms,Van Hunt,Kem,Anthony Hamilton,check out Geno Young this is good smooth music Enuff Said.....

"Ghetto Symphony" is a wonderful debut from the artist who produced N'Dambi and Carmen Rodgers. His covers of "Broadway" and "Do What You Do" are refreshing and the lyrics on "Honeydew", "Let's Lay Down Together", and "So Wrapped Up In You" are beautiful. "Love Beyond Compare" is the best love song I've heard since India.Arie's "Good Man". Don't sleep on this CD! Order it now, you won't be disappointed.

Having the opportunity to hear some of the tracks from this album almost a year ago was such a pleasure but a big tease because I have been anxiously awaiting for Geno to release this album for the longest- and let me tell ya it was worth the wait. The way real music should be- going back to the foundation of soul and R&B music with its jazzy -soul feel, this CD envokes you. The lyrics are just as permeating to the soul. A must have in your neo soul collection. Check it out- it is definitely worth it- true artisty at heart!

This cd does not require track skipping at all! If you like Dwele and jazz music then this is for you! Geno should be blowing up real soon! Light some candles and lay back and play this cd from beginning to end or do like I did and tackle morning traffic while playing this cd, before I knew it I was at work!

Stop reading reviews and add to cart!!!!

It's just that NO ONE KNOWS THIS CAT! Damn shame, too. Geno knows his music, trust me. It terrifically shows. This brotha has worked with Badu, N'Dambi, and Carmen Rodgers. Now, that's enough to get the damn CD. But jsut in case you're like "Well, I don't know...I've never heard of this guy" let me list some of the gems on the CD: "Honeydew", the very tight remake of GB's "Broadway", the bombastic "I Really Do" and "Let's Lay Down", "So Wrapped Up in You" and "Love Beyond Compare." There's no excuse for you NOT to have this man's CD in your rotation, let alone your collection. Buy this!

I only give out 5 stars to those that are deserving...and let me tell you this guy is deserving! Every song, every beat has a nice groove, hook or rhythm. It flows like the Nile...effortlessly! Glad to see this brother step from behind the shadows of others and put his own project out there. I really enjoy the smoothy, jazzy, delightful air of this CD.

Very Well done...very well

Never heard of this dude, but he surprised me and now I'm a fan. What a delicious album! All songs are of high quality and so smooth and you can call it a mixture neo-soul, jazzy, r&b, soul, but no matter what you call it. There's no question, this is easy listening and very beautiful. My favorites are "Honeydew" and "Really do". You should definitly check this one out!

I just got this cd last week and i love it!....i reccomend this cd to anyone who is into soul/neo soul music...

If you like Musiq, Jill Scott, and others do add this one to your collection. No track skipping necessary. Geno keep up the good work.
