Raheem DeVaughan Must Be A Lot Of Fun At Karaoke
I really liked Love Behind The Melody, the 2008 album by Raheem DeVaughan, but it definitely fell into the vacuum of January releases when I was thinking of my favorite discs of the year (see also: Headlights). Apparently, Raheem is taking a new turn, if a recent surge of YouTube clips can be believed, releasing more mixtapes and loading them with covers… for the ladies, he says. There are also a few original tracks on his new mixtape The Love & War Experience (which doesn’t appear to be available in full yet), but if Raheem is going to keep putting out covers like the gospel rave-up take on “I Would Die 4 U” (above) and a welcome revisiting of Al B. Sure’s “Nite & Day” (below), he’ll have at least one satisfied customer (albeit one outside of his desired female demographic).
