The knock against neo-soul is that it looks desperately to the past instead of the present or futurehaving disconnected somewhere in the late '70sjust before the wicked drum machines and synthesizers came around to siphon the soul out of R&B. Pop-oriented R&B is routinely faulted for being insincere and inauthenticfull of flash and bleating-goat ululations. New R&B artists in 2004 tended to be slotted into one of the two categorieseither next to Jill Scott and "the next D'Angelo," or next to Usher and "the next Beyonc." Singer and songwriter Teedra Moses sees the good in both sidesrealizing that there must be some people out there who are thrilled by modern-day hip-hop-minded productions but crave lyrical content that goes deeper than memorable hooks and identikit platitudes about desireromantic dramaand soul-searching. Just as importantlyMoses and primary collaborator Paul Poli - who also teamed up to write and produce Christina Milian's "Dip It Low," an ill-suited reference for the sound of this album - draw from elements of the past thatsave for some Bad Boy sampleshave rarely fit into the framework of any R&B for the past several years. The two would be more likely to gush about Patrice Rushen's "Remind Me" or Al B. Sure!'s "Nite and Day" than Innervisions or What's Going Onand the spirit of their work can bring to mind the period when TLC and Mary J. Blige were coming of age. These references inform rather than define the songs. (To further determine the angle of the albumthe two tracks not handled by Poli are produced by the best ambassadors of neo-soul and pop-rap/R&B imaginable - Raphael Saadiq and Lil Jonrespectively.) Moses has a voice that is light and innocent-soundingoffset by all the evidence that she has been through her share of experiences. She may lack the showmanship of her gold and platinum contemporariesbut she can coast on the details that take several listens to surfacelike the way "And listen daddy I'm too cute to fight/You better get that bitch told tonight" is somehow the sweetestcatchiest line on the albumor how the title track flips the common "party your troubles away" theme by preceding the joyous chorusamidst Paisley Park percussion hitswith "Daddy he wasn't there/Momma she's gone now/I gotta be grown/I need you to hold me down." (How many songs turn you into a baller and a bawler at the same time?) ThisMoses' debutis the best R&B album of 2004 - if not the best pop-oriented R&B album since CrazySexyCool.
