After finding his musical inspiration through the late, great Gerald Levert, Charles Reed began his quest to connect with others through song.  His new single, Better, looks to follow in the soul man’s footsteps. 2 Dimension gives Reed a track to play matchmaker on, as his smooth vocals put a unique twist on the Upset City R&B blueprint. After performing live at various venues, including a gig at Uncle Luke’s reality TV show premiere party, the new school cat preps for his 2009 debut, Jus’ntyme. Looking to beat the buzzer, Charles Reed crosses up the rest of the R&B competition and cements his spot as an R&B artist to watch.

I like this, would have been in my heavy summer rotation if it came out earlier. I had a big R&B phase for half the summer, this would have fit perfectly. I can still dig this for sure though, but the vocals could be a little better. Chorus holds the song together though, and I think other R&B artists could have had fun with this track, but still in rotation for Charles Reed.

The production is SMOOTH! I would have preferred a better snare than that cheap handclap...but nevertheless...this is pretty got. Charles has an awesome R&B/Soulful presence. It does definitely sound like a summer jam joint. I'll throw it in rotation.

Charles has a real smooth delivery. He is young, so he can work on his vocal range, but the overall end game here is quality. More than enough talent to catch the eye of a label looking toward a solid youth movement.

that1kid13 - Why don't you try listening to the music during the day, instead of late at night! It's hard to make a clear cut judgment on a record when you are not in the mood to listen....
