Editorial Reviews

2009 debut album from the R&B/Pop singer, songwriter and producer, who can also add engineer, Internet visionary and chief executive of NextSelection Lifestyle Group to his resume. The Harvard graduate is a performer at heart, a prolific musician with his own infectious brand of R&B pop. While an international following awaits the release, he keeps fans satisfied by documenting his wizardry and the restless road towards his release date on his YouTube channel which boasts more than 21 million video views! Leslie's strong core following is a direct result of his talent and communication with fans directly. 12 tracks including 'Diamond Girl'.

5.0 out of 5 stars To put it simply...Love it!, February 10, 2009

It was long overdue, but I'm glad it finally dropped. I downloaded and burned it before I went to work so I could listen to the final product in my minivan (and I bang my music in the minivan). It's definately a head nodder and the fact that he plays all the instruments and uses no samples is even more awesome. I can easily say that most of the songs are my favorite, but the ones that stand out to me are 'How it was supposed to Be', 'Valentine', 'IRINA', and 'Out of the Blue'. Great job and Ryan is an Inspiration to all the Nerds of the world...you can be cool and smart!

Been following R-LES for the last 3 years through his Youtube channel and website. Even had an opportunity to sit with him in studio in NYC last year. You can see the passion, desire and energy in his work. A rising intellectual star that deserves recognition and success. This debut label backed album is solid from start to end and has been on many people's waiting lists for years. His production stellar, vocal style smooth and expressive, definitely going to make the ladies and fella's bob their heads. Buy this NOW and support this great upcoming artist.

5.0 out of 5 stars Long Overdue, February 10, 2009

First of all, I have been a R.Les fan for years now. Ever since I heard "Used 2 Be" and "Just Right" a few years back... I am glad to say that this album does not disappoint. He was ready to release it after "Diamond Girl", and then after "Addiction", but now he releases it after "How it was supposed to be" (which all 3 are solid hits in my opinion), and this album has more for you to love ("Gibberish", "Just Right", etc.)

So, for all Ryan Leslie fans, this album was worth the wait, but was long overdue! And for anyone who is just starting to hear his music, then pick up this album! Check out his youtube channel to see clips of him creating these, and you'll have a better appreciation for what this man can do!
