Summary: Pure Talent
Comment: I won't go into detail on every single on this album but I will tell you this - it is definitley worth buying. The lyrics...the voice...the music will leave you refreshed, revitalized and you will definitely get plenty of head-bobbing. Raheem's lyrics are those that we all can relate to. And my favorite - Woman. Maybe because I feel as if this is my anthem this year but this is a clear example of how everyone can relate to his lyrics no matter what ethnic or culture you may come from. And if you ever get an opportunity to see him LIVE...OMG...do it. He is awesome! Raheem is definately an entertainer and his voice is powerful. He even has a bit of a comedic flare. So if you are tired of listening to the norm that is on radio now - the cookie cutter music being forced down our throats, get his CD and listen to some REAL grown, sexy, yet thought provoking music.

Summary: Hands down album of the year
Comment: This album was long over due. Icould'nt wait to buy it. I fell in love with Raheem back in 04 with the love Experience. From the day I bought that cd until now, the cd has never left my car. It's a cd that you can just put in and let it play. Now this Love behind the melody, I bought without hearing one track because I knew raheem was going to bring it.And I wasn't disappointed. I LOVE THIS CD. Oh my GOD........This is hands down the cd of the year. Raheem is like a breath of fresh air. it's because of Raheem I listen to the radio again. I get tired of all the hip hop and so called R&B songs about sexing you up and all that mess. Raheem sings about love and actually being in love. This cd is in my car as well. My favorite songs on this cd are the interlude Midnite, Marathon, Woman, Customer, Not you, Empty, Desire, Love Drug, hell just say the whole cd. It's a shame that Raheem isnt getting the recognition he so deserves. Its a shame that if you not singing or rapping about pimps and hoes, cash and bling you get no air play.........Raheem keep doing your thang sweetie and dont change!!!! Your #1 fan!!!!

Summary: What happened Raheem??
Comment: I couldn't wait until Love Behind The Melody came out, since I've been listening to Raheem Devaughn his music was always good quality. The lyrics as well as the melody even the samples he used worked. This CD however seems like a step in the wrong direction. His previous work The Love Experience was from beginning to end a masterpiece. The Love Behind The Melody lacks though. I'm not sure if it's the use of so called hot producers, or that the cd never really sets into a consistent flow but this was disappointing. There are a few bright moments however I can't even make it through the whole cd. I've tried at least 3 or 4 times but it's no use. I will continue to follow this very gifted and talented individual but this cd isn't the Raheem Devaughn we all know and love.

If you're new to Raheem DeVaughn but have caught wind that he calls himself an R&B-hippie-neosoul-rock star, you've got a right to be skeptical. It's hard enough to hold down an advanced degree of R&B cred these days without ratcheting up the pressure by insisting on being a hippie and a rock star, too. And despite the best efforts of Jill Scott and Angie Stone, neo-soul seems to have sputtered out somewhere among the back rooms of Maxwell's '90s-era urban hang suite. But DeVaughn's sophomore disc will hang your skepticism by its ankles and make it squirm. The D.C. singer and contemporary of Erykah Badu and Common is a gifted guy who knows how to work a lyric and never met a melody he couldn't set swiftly into motion. The best evidence comes by way of the radio-ready "Woman," a sweet-natured thumper as relatable as a crooked smile, but it's backed by pop-scraping tracks including the Gnarls Barkley-like "Energy," featuring Outkast's Big Boi, and the daydreamy and fully irresistible "Butterflies." DeVaughan simultaneously sounds like every soul singer who has raised bumps on your arms and none of them at all, which is to say he's an artist no matter what banner he flies. His mission is to move you, not just fill the space around the speakers. And in song after song here, he makes it happen. --Tammy La Gorce
