Musiq Soulchild premiered his new video, “Radio” on BET’s Access Granted. This is definitely a different sound for Musiq. I wasn’t digging it at first, but it has definitely grown on me since hearing it on the radio.
Musiq’s 5th album, On My Radio will be released in November.

I don’t like this. Musiq Soulchild is a SOUL artist. This is his attempt to go mainstream. I understand that soul music doesn’t pay like mainstream music, but c’mon…..
i just want to say that i may be first for the first time and i would be happy if i was,if not ah well anyway moving on
this isnt his style and it seems he was pressured into doing something everybody else is doing,still love musiq though
Not bad, but i love his other style of singing better….marrygoround, 143….etc..
it’s a nice song and i can see y he likes it, but that doesnt mean he should be singin it
As a Musiq fan I feel very weird about this. I actually heard this song on the radio a couple of times and had no idea it was him. The song is cool (song and vid reminds me of The Dream) and the atl influence is heavy. Just think I’m used to my soulchild. Guess at the end of the day you gotta do what you gotta do to feed your family.
Musiq cut this B.S. out fam…. This is an all time low!! N if the label is reading this then stop him from f%#kin up yall money. Dawg look in the mirror fam.
WOW. This actually makes me mad. His 1st and 2nd albums were and are still my shit, but this is not cutting it. I heard this song a minute ago and thought it was someone else.
Interesting…This song is fire. I saw the making earlier on Access Granted and first thought wow, he sold out. As much as some of his fans are going to be upset and even feel betrayed, Musiq is a true artist. This exemplifies his versatlity. He can do classic Neo Soul songs and then all of a sudden make a hot club banger.
This song will be all over the radios in a couple of weeks. I like the fact that it has elements of that down South music. They always make hot club bangers.
The song is about how he’s not confined to just one genre of music, listen to his radio and you’ll see (creative). The video is hot, he looks fly and I like the concept.
ANYWAY!! 4get the HATEERSZZ!!
Musiq keep doing your thing I’m glad you did a song a lil different than usual not being afraid to change your sound a little. I’m just happy you didn’t have T-pain or Lil wayne rapping up in there…you still kept it r&b even with the club beat in there. Pretty nice video.
Isn’t the girl in the video a choreographer?? and did videos with Beenie Man and Sean Paul “I’m still in love” video?
i’m sorry…i’m a die hard Musiq fan…just got through jammin’ “Merry Go-Round” on my iphone, and i log in, and see this…WOW…i’m disappointed in this single…the last album was DOPE…all his albums were DOPE…what the hell is this? i’m just not impressed AT ALL…they need to fire everyone who told him to put this out…this is one of those singles artists should keep in their personal collection…
b
I like Musiq but I can’t get with this!
This song is like a strip club……straight ass! Musiq “soldout”
Proof He got Fed Up with the indie neo soul lay back persona, ‘n was like Fcuk it, imma go Mainstream this tim3 around- gotta pay tha Billz.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Musiq….you’re a funny dude, man.
And the mohawk to match, too? Aight son, I see you…..
I wonder if he’ll see about doing techno dance music next, since that’s what everybody else is on these days.
Honestly ain’t nothing wrong with this song and ya’ll know that he still stays within his element with his clothes and his writing in this song. There’s no cursing there’s no talk of strippers or drugs or any of that nature. It just has a hott ass beat. I know we aren’t use to him doing things like this but alot of the beat boxing that was in his first cd was him. He’s creative in a sense that he can what he wants and still make a hit.
I’m deeply concerned about his career now, where the hell is his management & who told him this shit was good? , this is so 2 years ago.
Whoa…….what was Musiq thinking????
I’m a HUGE fan but this corny mainstream pop shit is really WACK.
Stay in your lane Musiq, you were hitting it good before, don’t try to follow the norm.
I though I was the only one thinking this…
I don’t follow Musiq that much but I respect him as a great neo-soul artist, but this song and video (though I kinda like it) seems like he’s selling out!!! I kinda makes me uneasy about the song.
the song is garbage. definately not lead single worthy. what the hell are they thinking? i dont know why they picked this as a single but atlantic will see when it bombs. its terrible.
What I see is that the lyrics are not much different from any other song he would sing!
I think he should broaden his fanbase and with this song that’s what he’s doin.
A lot of people probably think he’s boring.
HOWEVER, I really don’t want a whole album of this!
I could see more of a mainstream R&B like Brandy’s “Afrodisiac” but not all this fad “ATL” ish.
You can sing over a hip-hop influenced beat without it sounding like some tired ass-shaking music. He’s done it before!!!
I’ve been a Musiq fan from day one and I can dig this. It’s not his absolute best but he won’t be able to please everyone anyway. If he came with a slow jam people would be like “oh, that again.” It’s like people don’t expect artists to be creative. But that’s why they’re artists. Because they’re creative!!. lol At least he tried something different and went in a direction that was halfway decent.
SELLOUT….SELLOUT…SELLOUT… SELLOUT….SELLOUT….SELLOUT…SELLOUT
SELLOUT!
this shit almost makes me not even want to listen to his old shit which I loved…dissappointing.
sidebar: Muthafuckaa im ill
They got Musiq shucking and jiving now??
This song is nice. It’s more my style, but Musiq was like the only neo soul artist I could get in to and he does this?? I have mixed feelings about this!
i like it. its different. i don’t think doing something different will detract from his roots
When I first heard this, I thought it was a joke!
Musiq has never really surpassed the high quality of work he gave us on Aijuswannasing.
I can’t lie, I’m really dissapointed with this single, I guess it’s his attempt to become more mainstream, but c’mon! It’s a load of trash imo.
Neo Soul is dead people!!!
he is just trying something different, hopefully Jill Scott and Eryah Badu get the memo cuz that monotonous philly sound is played out and ain’t sellin’ …
I applaud him for tryin something new and switching it up cuz i got all of his CD’s and they were starting to sound the same and have the same formula.
he did it, and doesn’t come off corny or forced…well done.
lets not forget this dude is still very much YOUNG, i can’t stess that enough….he is still YOUNG and the this is going to be his 5th CD he don’t wanna be singing all that slow, ho hum-incense burning and candles music…
maybe he’ll he lose some fans, but i am sure he will gain some….
he still wants to be relevant.
OH GOSH… THE ATL NUSIC GOT TO MUSIC SOUL CHILD. EVERY BODY IS FOLLOWING THIS PATTEREN…… BOO BOOO BOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!1
It’s like he said “I’m going to be like my man, WILL.I.AM but different” and ended up with this sellout vapid bs.
Is Musiq a rapper now? How I hate this! I was only feeling a few songs from his llast album b/c of the pseudothug element laced through it. This has just taken me over the top. I LOVE 143, Sunny, Infatueighties! Please do-over.
I knew after the success of “BUDDY” he was going to pander to the crazy ghetto folk who appreciated that fu*k buddy, friends with benefits trash he sang about. The song was a sellout song, in my opinion. I liked it but I definitely saw the direction was mainstream and I kinda knew this would happen. I heard it on the radio, though. And, it’s funny that he even looks like a sellout now…Had to comment twice!
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!! THATS LIKE INDIA ARIE DOING A BEYONCE SONG LMAO…. AWWH MUSIC THIS IS BAD REALLY BAD.. YOU JUST LOST A FAN.
Nah, B!
I LOVE IT. My gosh people. . . can yall appreciate some damn versitility? Everyone is switching it up nowadays. People get tire dof the same ole same ole. Rihanna turned rock, beyonce is now going international/dance, neyo turn retro/dance…So why cant musiq experiment. Im not even a musiq fan and im happy hes steppin out the box. If yall so called die hard fans are real fans then yall would support him no matter what.
thank you #8!
while this is different for him, i respect that he is putting out music that he loves. that’s what makes him a true artist. He appreciates all kinds of music (i’m sure) and he probably hopes his fans can do the same. i’m sure all of his songs on the album won’t sound like this and if they do, that’s cool, too. i can’t wait to go get this CD, i want to see what he felt like writing about this time around
and #34, thank you too!
if any of you are truly musiq soulchild fan you would know at least two songs on each of his 4 albums has a sound similiar to this one. For example Dontstop on Soulstar.
i love me some musiq soulchild “love” is my favorite song but i must say that the song is okay the beat is hot i can see my self in the club dancing to it he just trying to do something different i can respect that i will always rock with musiq he hasn’t lost me yet!
oh yeah the video is nice!!!
I LOVED all of Musiq’s other songs and cds…. but this just confirmed it for me–> On September 16th, I will definitely be getting the YEAR OF THE GENTLEMAN…. Musiq? NO
I like this, don’t care for the video. I’m fine with Musiq mixing this style in with his classic soul type of songs. Please don’t stop singing songs like “Love”.
this is something new for Musiq, But you half to realize people grow and do and try different things, But one thing i can say his new style is CRACK AND THATS WHATS UP.
i love THis sonG and IM glaD he COmin baCK out and hE lookS greAt 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’M USE TO MUSIQ HAVING ALL THESE SLOW OLD SCHOOL-TYPE GROOVES BUT THIS IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT. I LIKE IT THOUGH. SOMETHING YOU WOULDN’T EXCEPT FROM HIM. BUT PROBABLY MOST PEOPLE WON’T LIKE IT THOUGH.
I LOVE THIS SONG, DIDNT KNOW IT WAS MUSIQ AT FIRST. BUT I LIKE IT EVEN MORE NOW. I DO THINK HE ACCOMPLISHED A GOAL BY GET US TO TALK ABOUT IT AND THEN HIT US WITH WHAT REALLY WANT FROM HIM… THE SOULCHILD FROM PHILLY.
CAN I GET A CORNER?
This song is a sick dance/club track – but I loved Musiq for his own personal Soul/R&B style. Not to say that this song is shabby, it’s actually a HOT song. But I agree, not for SOULchild.
I will NEVER move to ATL. Why is it when everyone I know goes to visit or move, they come back sounding like their IQ decreased? LOL dead serious. This is a prime example! Musiq knows he’s better than that mainstream crap!
Also to #34, I respect versatility when its done RIGHT. This song is something different from Musiq and I respect him for that aspect BUT that aspect alone. Just because you do something different doesn’t make it right. That song is WACK. Seriously… I hate music front the south but even other songs I’ve loathed sounded better than that. Its straight up BS (even down to the lyrics) and why should I go against my standards and “appreciate” garbage instead of the effort. That’s why you should be telling ppl to appreciate: THE EFFORT. Also DO NOT insult my genre. Rihanna (sp?) is NOT rock. Cut the bullshit right there. If you actually listen to rock or ANY alternrock music… you would know NOT to say something so stupid.
I don’t know about this one. It’s gonna have to grow on me. This is not the classic Musiq Soulchild that I love! The song is almost kind of annoying, it sounds nothing like him cuz he’s barely singing on it! Its almost like hes talking. Musiq is known for that classic soul and saving R&B. Buddy was my shit as well as For tha night, Half-crazy, Love…..i could go on & on….like I said, this is gonna have to grow on me. I felt the same way about Usher’s In the Club..it had to grow on me & it did, but it still is not classic Usher to me, same with this.
I know Musiq is trying to express himself musically and not be “pigeon-holed” into one style, I get it. But point blank, this was not done well at all!
The beat is so 2006, I would almost call it “lame.” Even if he wanted to venture into the “dirty south” sound, he could have and should have done it WAY better than this.
I mean if he wanted to switch it up he would have faired much better going the ecelectic/electronic/pop/soul route. At least be creative.
The sad thing is he was one of the FEW SOUL artists left, this does nothing for him.
Again, I get it Musiq, but its poorly done.
I agree with the other posters about this ATL crunk style whatever was more popular in 2006 and is dated now. It reminds me when Monica ventured into the ATL style for “Everytime the beat drops”,it didnt work for her and it sure does not work for neo-soul star like Musiq
SHUT UP #34…. LMAO!!!!!! YOUR FUNNY.
Although I love Musiq, and hate this song, I understand why he made it. We can scream all day that he sold out, but when even his fans are not supporting him to where he can put out what makes him MUSIQ, you have to expect what comes with that.
A man can only sing so many melodic, deep songs that aren’t paying the bills…. but you grooving to them stolen from the internet before he has to put out a banger that the D.J.’s are going to be forced to buy the wax and cd versions of for the club.
If you don’t support, you force people to go into survival mode. Sometimes that mode is not even remotely what you begin with.
So why complain. How often do you go to the club and see people slowdancing like back in the day before Luke came out with “drop them drawls”????
You know dadgum well more people are supporting garbage these days… why be surprised when someone like Musiq jumps on the Garbage Truck.
no musiq soulchild nooooooo! I do not approve of this. this is not a good look for you. Hopefully you will be singing on the rest of the album.
I heard this song on the radio yesterday, this is not his style at all.
I wouldn’t be as strong to call him a sell out…but like most entertainers sometimes you have to step outside your boundaries and do something that you’ve never done before. It’s nice to see that a brutha isn’t one sided. Sure sorry for those that are stuck in the past and/or old ways. Cause life is about growth and change! I’m changing and growing with this brutha….I like him regardless….I’ve heard and seen worst…but folks still be jumpin up/down to it…so two thumbs up for you MUSIQ! Keep showing them what musiq and life are really about…..
I like it….angel i don’t know what you talkin bout…yea its a lil different…but hey.
GARBAGE! Whoomp! Whoomp!
Me no like! This song is atrocious! Musiq, hun, please don’t try to “crossover” because this sound is so not you.
KELLZ #47. First thing first. Of course we know rihanna is not totally rock, dnt be an ass. What I was tryna imply is that she has a slight rock influence in her music. (shut up and drive/umbrella/breaking dishes) they are not ur typical RnB songs, thats what I meant. As for Musiq, im not saying everybody should love the song, because of course everyone is not going to love the song. But damn….as die hard fans as some of yall claim, yall should atleast give the dude probs for experimenting with his music. No I do not want anybody to lower their standards of music, it ain tthat serious. Anyway, my opinion is my opinion, Kudos to Musiq, Fuck the so call fans who hating because he dont want to sing that slow soul bullshit sounding alike on every album. I cant even name 3 songs from musiq because all sounds the damn same, so kudos for doing something different.
It’s very different for musiq but there is nothing wrong with having different styles and doing different things. I belived it makes you a stronger artist !!!! I liked the song and know that musiq will stay true to his music.
Artist shouldn’t have to stay in a particular box they should have the oppurtunity to express there talent in many ways.
