Music reviews of Libra Scale
Music Review: Too short
Rating: 4 Stars
The only reason NE-YO doesn't get a 5 is because this is his 4th album and he only gave us 10 songs. I was hoping to get a good 14 tracks, he always makes good music, so that was the only thing that disappointed me. Now on to the musical side of it.
Champagne Life....mid tempo groove, and it's very apparent that MJ was a big influence in his life because all of his songs have that Jackson flair. Let's toast it up! It's a feel good song, normally when a song that's been played on the radio or you've seen the video leads off, normally that's not a good cd, not in this case. I think he's getting you ready. 5 out of 5
Making a Movie...another mid tempo groove...playful song about his superhero group trying to get the ladies. Telling the women how cool they are, and they are going to make a movie. Nice song, creative. 4 out of 5
Know your Name....if this song doesn't remind you of a song that MJ would sing, nothing will. Another gem, real smooth in the delivery and it's simply Ne Yo approaching a lady and politely asking for her name. Again he's playing off the "gentlemen" role that he's set with the videos. 5 out of 5
TeleKinesis......Could be the best song on the cd. "Girl have you ever, had someone had someone who takes the time, to sex your body, but also sex your mind." The chorus alone is a beast, fellas, let's get inside of a womans mind, sex her mind and her body follows, brillant song! 5 out of 5
Crazy Love.....Think of Lauren Hill's "Sweetest Thing I've ever known" song, and the music, the tempo, the guitars the whole feel puts you in that state of mind muscially. I love Lauren's song, and Crazy Love is also a gem. He's comparing love and insanity, he says they are related in the way that they make you act. You know what, he has a point, love can make you insane, listen to the words and the music holds you. And Fabolous adds a nice little flow to the song, and it doesn't distract from the theme at all. 5 out of 5
One in a Million....Love the video, love the dancing, love the whole "the way you make me feel vibe", first time I heard the song, I saw the video and I was immediately impressed. Again he plays of the "gentleman" vibe and he's telling his newfound love that he's been everywhere and have seen a lot of different women, but she's the best. Classic 5 out of 5
Geniune Only.....Telling the tale to his lady that he hopes she's never alone. He's pretty much letting her know that they can weather any storm and that his love is geniune. 3 out of 5
Cause I said so.....Up tempo groove, it's like the introduction of the women that Ne Yo's character is falling for. In the song, with hints of MJ's "Oh NO, sound from Dirty Diana" Kindy of techno feel vibe and maybe everyone won't feel it, but I think the groove is infectious and it's a perfect lead to the next song, Beautiful Monster 4 out of 5
Beautiful Monster....A lot of artist are putting a sort of "Will.I.Am" song on their cd's, not all are good. This one, is great, not too long but the music in the song is great. The entire album is produced beautifully, the song is Ne Yo's character falling for the woman, he's trying to fight it but he can't. She's the one that he can't beat. He's giving up his powers for this woman, and he doesn't mind. 5 out of 5
What have I done...... A ballad finally. He finishes the concept album with a ballad that sounds like something MJ would sing. The synthesizing sound in the song sounds a lot like the beginning of "human Nature". The song seems to be questioning why he has chosen to take on the powers that were bestowed upon him and didn't follow the guidelines of what he wasn't supposed to do. He was supposed to rid the city of crime, live the good life(champagne life) and lastly, not fall in love, which is what he did. 5 out of 5
So you see, the concept album worked beautifully, not a bad song on the cd at all. Each song fits, the production was flawless, he gives you the best that he can do and he doesn't miss. He has elements of MJ and you can hear it in every song if you choose to do so, but I'm okay with that, Mike is gone, in my opinion, we need someone to keep some of the best things we liked about him alive, and I think Ne Yo does it very effortlessly. Libra Scale is a gem, I hope I was able to give a little more insight into a classic album in the time of a bunch of junk in the R&B world. Definitely must have in your collection.
Description of Libra Scale
Libra Scale, is a monumental concept album that tells the story of the rise of R&B's first superhero squad, The Gentleman, a trio of garbage men who are granted all that they've ever wanted--special powers, money, fame, women-- after encountering a mysterious figure. The only catch? The men must use their powers to fight crime in their city and must never ever fall in love. Not a problem until Jerome (Ne-Yo) meets Pretty Sinclair, a vivacious, no-nonsense beauty. He quickly captures her heart. But all goes awry when after a night of passion, Pretty Sinclair contracts a strain of Jerome's superpowers and suffers an adverse reaction that effectively drives her crazy.Pop CDs
