    The album is amazing and should be critically acclaimed. Since when has a newor old male aritist played with pop, r&b, soul and funk and pulled it off without you even knowing it? Good singing w/o production help? Not to mention the kid is barley legal. With the help of a some hot producers the mind of a baby genius has developed and we get to hear it on Kevin Michael's debut The album is amazing and should be critically acclaimed.

    Whether discoursing about Jesus freaks and thugs, wanting something real out of life or his biracial background, the Angela Davis-fro'd Michael takes the listener on an energetic romp that swerves from lovelorn R&B to playful funk. Keep an ear open.

    Michael never shies away from going pop, and the results are spectacular: Every hook on his stellar debut is instantly alluring.

    Michael’s pop instincts--not to mention some warm, jumpy beats from up-and-coming producers like Shea Taylor--keep him afloat
