He should consider doing that type of thing more often. Musicnotes features the world's largest online digital sheet music catalogue with over 400,000 arrangements available to print and play instantly. Musiq can also be heard on the soundtracks for the Tyler Perry films, Daddys Little Girls and Why Did I Get Married. The song was a collaboration with the British rapper, Estelle. That song, "Likethesun," is a brilliant and unexpected change-up where Musiq also provides one of his best vocals, dipping beneath and vaulting above the stop-start percussion patterns and swarming synthesizers. Musiq contributed a remake of the Arrested Development song, 'People Everyday' to the soundtrack of Tyler Perrys Meet The Browns. The two worked together previously on Feel The Real, a title track from Musiq’s 2017 album. There’s also something of a successor to "Sobeautiful," the equally hypnotic and chivalrous "Medicine." At the very end, Musiq buries a thoroughly modern gem featuring a spacy, irregular beat from Jesse Wilson and the Kaliphat. Soul singers Musiq Soulchild and Marsha Ambrosius team up to for a new heartfelt duet titled For Better, For Worse.
It sets the tone for Musiqinthemagiq, which does not stray far from Musiq's past but features some developments, such as the singer's increased comfort with falsetto deployment ("Sayido," "Waitingstill") and a charming mid-'60s soul throwback ("Love Contract"). For his sixth album's lead single, Musiq went back to his "club 1981" playlist, where he pulled Taana Gardner's "Heartbeat" for the basis of "B.U.D.D.Y." - a 2007 Top 40 single - and picks "Walking into Sunshine." "Anything" replays much of the Central Line classic, with Musiq delivering another one of his feel-good, relatively wholesome spring/summer R&B radio hits.
