Sitting around thinking about my favourite [male] neo-soul singers, I thought it would be fun to do a little something celebrating the current soul torch carriers: Eric Roberson, Raheem DeVaughn, Dwele, Maxwell and Musiq.
lyrics
Chant-
Tell me who's your favorite neo-soul singer?
Tell me who's your favorite neo-soul singer?
Tell me who's your favorite neo-soul singer?
Tell me who's your favorite neo-soul singer?
verse
Now maybe you like you some Erro
The way he makes all the words flow
Or kick freestyles at a live show
And makes the crowd go wild (ooh child)
He can write about anything
Connect it all to you and me
Right or wrong as the pen just cries away
If you need to discover
A style made for lovers
The position of this song of Raheem DeVaughn
Now he'll make it worth it
So please don't be nervous
The falsetto is the way he gets down and now. . .
Chant
verse
If Dwele is what you like to hear all day
You heard him sing the hooks for Kanye
But neo-soul is what he claims
I don't want you to forget about Maxwell
(Remember the Urban Hang Suite?)
A woman's work is never done
And neither is his. . .oooh
Chant
verse
Pardon me 'cause he's been trying to
Get your number since Album One
And album 2 and 3 and in between
It seems that he's gone halfcrazy
But he juswannasing (yeah)
Will you let him sing (oh)
Baby tell me can he spend some time
And can he be your B.U.D.D.Y.Y.Y.
Chant
