    The couple's adoration for each other is every bit as potent as their social consciousness, on "P.A.L" and "Fruitful," two of the cosmic quiet storm cuts that comprise the album's second half. And when Aloe Blacc drops by on "Smile," something's seriously amiss if your body doesn't move.

    The album hits universal chords while specifically chronicling both the struggles and rewards of existing as an African American family in the 21st-century United States.
