Musiq Soulchild : Just Friends (Sunny)
Sensitive soul dude Musiq releases track that appeared on The Nutty Professor 2 soundtrack...
Already living and breathing after its original life on the Nutty Professor 2 soundtrack, this is Musiq Soulchild at his most upbeat, and given that this is merely a mid-tempo track, that's really saying something.
Essentially, Musiq is a simple soul child - keen on promising you tomorrow (and hoping you'll be in his arms when that day dawns) - he's so much of a romantic gentleman that several times throughout this delectable slice of old-skool soul meets hip-hop beats, he reassures you that even though he's really feeling you "you don't even have to be my girlfriend" which is how pre-teens, not sexy boho guys, parlay.
On that basis, the guys will think he's a bit of a chief and the girls will be charmed, but, like his album, stick with it. Charm has a place, after all.
