While in 2010 those set on running game may tweet, Facebook or UStream a fine female, there’s still no substitute for some good ol’ fashion number getting, an approach first time Booth artist Ahmaad (not to be confused with Ahmad) takes on his new single Can I Call You. Behind the boards producer Sam Trax keeps Call You firmly in the world of r&b, layering a clapping drum over a lightly harmonized keys line guaranteed to set the right mood. But the record would be nothing without some quality vocals, and the Brooklyn crooner responds more than capably, pressing a lovely lady just hard enough to secure her number but not so hard he scares her off. I’m sure it also doesn’t hurt his efforts that he can sing like that. So how about it Booth members? Would you slip Ahmaad your digits? (Musically speaking of course.) Those looking for more music to set the lights low to should keep an eye out for Ahmaad’s upcoming mixtape, Rhythm & Brooklyn, set to be released sometime this fall.

While he doesn't have the vocal chops of Michael Jackson, Ahmaad is clearly inspired by the late great singer/performer. His vocal arrangements, ad libs, and tone are reminiscent of Jackson - who better in this industry to emulate, eh?
With the right coaching, instruction, and production behind him Ahmaad has a bright future.

Follows the r&b blueprint pretty closely, so this won't blow you away, but there's no denying that the man's got some skill. I'm def down to hear more from Ahmaad. It's clear that if he can continue to find his voice he's got a bright future.
And @The 149th, I don't think there's a singer alive who isn't influenced by MJ, but it sounds like someone like Dwele is a lot closer to Ahmaad's model than Michael.

@ Nathan S: I agree with you, almost every singer has been influenced by MJ, my thing is dont directly copy the man's greatness and style without incorperating some of the artist's own uniqueness and individual form of expression. When I listened to the song I heard more from MJ then I did from Ahmaad, thats all I'm saying.
@ Sermon, I'll refrain from commenting your ignorant post seeing as you don't even have 10 ratings on the DJ Booth so its obvious you would never hold up in a debate with me. Good day. |

I agree with Z this sort of made me think of MJ. Not an absolute favorite, but it's a nice break from all the hooplah people have been labeling as R&B...
I like it |
