Along comes Liberty City Fla, a group of extremely talented young men who know how to select quality tracks for an album. No these guys don't do alot of songwriting, but they do everything else right on this self-titled debut.

What's dazzling about Liberty City is their charming melodies & luscious young soulish harmonies mixed smoothly over tightly-packed tracks. Though this set proves to be thin in live instrumentation - it puts much of today's sythesizer driven music to shame.

As for material, the fast-paced, guitar filled "Dirty Shame" hits off as the opening track. The album stays solid as it glides over "What's a Man To Do" and "I Met Her In Miami," but doesn't reach it's climax till "Even Good Girls Go Bad," a doo-woppy jam that sends tingles through any musical spine. Recently overused Steve Huff's joint "Who's She Lovin' Now" and Devante's "Come on Back" continue a medium paced flow but don't reach beyond mediocrity.

The set really hits a high point again in "More Than I," penned by a wonderful Dennis Ross III (Uncle Sam, etc.) that keeps melody lovers happy. "Cheatin'" is a very average track, and a long shot from the work Larry Campbell and Timmy Allen have done on other projects. A spanish guitar leads the way on "Get Away," one of the better songs on this album. "Out the Door" starts the winding down process in an incredible fashion, featuring creative harmonies. "Thank You" finally caps this great album off with a thanks to the man up above.

This set is consistant, and it's sweet all around. Though it hits a speed bump on "Everybody C'Mon," and doesn't vary much from it's medium pace, it's a must buy and shouldn't be overlooked.

After I heard Cheatin' from the Shaft soundtrack, I couldn't wait for Liberty City album to drop. This group has talent! The song line-up on this album is very good and the way their voices harmoniously flow togehter makes for a smooth and easy sound.

Only through a friend who knows my wide taste in music did i find this CD and i was stunned.

Incredible harmony along the lines of classic Boys 2 Men with a very distinct flavor of salsa and Cuban influences makes this a very unique sounds worth listening to even if you aren't a R&B fan.

Wish there was more by this group.

This album some nice phat joints that any one will enjoy, but because of the commercializing; the songs on this album get no air time. I know if they did then people would go bannanas! Great songs like "who she lovin' now" and "cheatin'" are some of the highlights. A++++!!

Hi, I'm Emilie from London. I thought this album was really refreshing.I can listen to the album without skipping any of the tracks.Devante's "Come on Back" reminded me that He is one of the best RnB producer.This album is one of my favourite album. I have to listen to it at least once a week. But there is something that I really want to know... Who is Steve Huff?? The way he writes the songs reminds me of...R.Kelly!!Could someone give me any information about him? It will be very much appreciated... I can't wait to hear their next album

I find it hard to believe that this CD is not getting more publicity than it is. I thought each song was better than the last. Liberty City mixes old school with new school better than any other group. I haven't heard any of these songs on the radio and I just can't understand why they aren't all playing. This is one CD you will never put away!! All I have to say is don't give up guys and thank you!
