Musiq Soulchild – “sobeautiful”

This song didnt even need a video to bring it to life. “SoBeautiful”, the third single off of Musiq Soulchild’s most recent album, Onmyradio has set itself up as a forerunner for one of the top “lover’s anthems” of 2009. Everything from the production to Musiq’s high-pitched and on point vocal delivery does it for me. Definitely one of the best songs on the album.

 The video, set in a chic and spacious loft apartment filled with camera equipment, captures the essence of natural beauty. Musiq, plays the role of a photographer who invites his neighbor upstairs to pose as his model. The simple and straight forward theme does the song justice, and Musiq still holds his spot as my favorite male R&B artist.
