Raheem Devaughn

Ok....here is the deal initially I was NOT a fan of Raheem Devaughn, I thought a few tracks were cool but never looked to far into his music.

BUT let me tell you how wrong I was. I got the chance to see him in concert Oct 23rd along with Tank and baby when I tell you the man can out on a show....he puts it DOWN okay *in my ghetto voice* lol

Seriously, he is not the type of guy that right off the bat I would say is a sex symbol but his show changed my min thoroughly....

Songs like, "B.O.B" "Microphone" "Customer" "Woman" "Mr. Right" " Mo' Better" " I Don't Care" "Bulletproof" and I could go on and on and easily timeless classics...

He is like a modern day Marvin Gaye. He adores the woman in her entirety and appreciates everything from her curves to her drive for life....

Example: From "Woman"
I appreciate your glow (Thank you)
And when you get angry with us the way that you let us know (thank you)
And i think it's so cute when you get so emotional (thank you)
You know till you prove your point you just can't let it go
But i like that though
I appreciate so much (thank you girl)
Like the I love you feeling girl when we touch (thank you girl)
Like there's no you, no me, if there's no us (thank ya)

Then on the flip side he is one of those artists that are aware of what is going on in today's society. He is like an R&B Common....

His metaphors and analogies are out of this world...

Example: From "Microphone"
She is the passion
She is my melody
And I amplify, amplify her sexuality
When the lights go out
My bed is the stage
Her body is the pole
And we just lose control
And let nature take its course
Just like that I'm in the palm of her hand
Like a mike in the stand
Turn us up if yall don't hear me

It amazes me how artists like him can go under the radar...Well I am here to tell you that the man is amazing and every time he comes to Kansas City I will be right there swaying with him....

I'm going to buy all of his CD's and put them in to musical rotation. I suggest you do the same....
