Black □ n mtory On this day in April COMPILED BY LA’SHAINNA CAMPBELL • 13, 1891 Nella Larson is bom in Chicago, 111. She wrote two novels of the Harlem Renaissance; Quicksand, and Passing. • 16,1923 Bessie Smith makes her first recording for Columbia Records “ Down Heart ed Blues.” The album sold 800,000 copies; it was Columbia’s first popular hit. • 20,1926 Harriet Elizabeth Byrd is bom in Cheyenne, Wyo. She became a teacher and in 1981 the first African-American legislator in Wyoming’s state hood. • 15,1931 Elizabeth Catlett, is born in Washington, D.C. Musiq scores big with his debut album ‘Aujuswannaseing’ Cri+ic’i Corner reviewi ^ previews Elizabeth Ross Banner Staff , When I first heard the single “Just Friends” on the radio. I, like so many others, wanted to know who was the person singing about such an everyday scenario. He sounded somewhat like D’Angelo, but maintained his own distinct sound. Then I learned his name — Musiq Soulchild (I’ll bet money most people spelled it m-u-s-i-c) and I thought, “How fitting.” His voice is mellow and smooth like fresh ice cream. His music is something you can either chill with friends to or party to. I must admit, Musiq is dif ferent. Actually, his lyrics are even more different. There are no “How Does It Feel?” or “Peelin’ on Your Booty” on his album. He’s deeper than that. Soulchild talks about getting with a 17-year old girl and lov ing prostitutes because no one else understands them. Most people write songs for their albums based on their own life experiences. Listening to this guy makes me wonder about what he’s been through in life. Provocative lyrics or not, “Aujuswanseing” (I just wanna sing) is still a really good album. It’s a disc you can play over and over and still not get tired of it, like Erykah Badu’s latest. Mama's Gun or an old Marvin Gaye joint. His music just makes you want to hear what he’s saying. Whether you agree with what he is saying or not is a whole other story. The beats are hot and the hooks are catchy (Check out my favorite. Sunny - Just Friends). For a little drama, try “Marygoround,” a song for any one who has been done wrong. Whether you’re listening to a fast cut or a slow groove like his latest single, “Love,” you know you’ve made a good investment in this “Musiq.” This head-wrapping, Volkswagen van-having crooner is the new flavor With his musical talent, Musiq may just be around for a long time. After all, all he wants to do is sing. All I wanna do is listen.
