Singer-songwriter and Rhodes keyboardist Musiq Soulchild emerged when the Philly soul renaissance led by Questlove of the Roots and others was at its height. His platinum debut, Aijuswanaseing, featured โLove,โ an R&B anthem that he subversively complicates with the woozy tones and off-rhythm flourishes typical of the Soulquarians era. The latter is identifiable by the way Musiq as well as backing vocalists Kindred the Family Soul and Aaries deliver the chorus. โLove/So many people use your name in vain,โ he sings as he haltingly pauses between the words โyour name in vain.โ The track remains a defining moment in neo-soul innovation. โM.R.
