The Soulchild returns. The Philly native we know as  Musiq Soulchild (given name: Talib Johnson) is back with his latest effort 'Half Crazy', taken from his forthcoming album 'Juslisen'. It looks like another monster hit for the silky smooth neo-soul vocalist. 

Written and produced by Musiq, this track surely puts the stamp of approval on this youngster's career as a legitimate singer/songwriter (not that it was ever in question). Similar to 'Girl Next door' in texture and style 'Half Crazy ' is drenched in orchestral strings and a soothing bass line, Musiq's voice is in fine form as he carries the song ever so effortly. 

The new album 'Juslisen' hits record shelves May 7th (street date is subject to change) and as soon as I get the LP you'll get a full review. For all soul music fans this is one not to be missed.
