I love this!!! Still it's not has good as the original, but it's done very well. I like this version better than Kendrick Lamar's version. Janet collecting them royalty checks. Get it mama!

I have to agree. I love Raheem but it sounds like he's channeling a cross between D'Angelo and Prince on this track.

I likes.............screaming for a guitar in the background though.

I love it!! It was a bit pitchy at times but it was really good. I liked how he put his own sound with it. Of course its not better than the original but its a good cover!

I totally slept on this guy! How is he?? Is he considered neo-soul or whatever? I'm into Van Hunt, Miguel, D'Angelo, Erykah, etc...would I like him??

I just picked up his whole catalog last week.

Dude has skills.

Yep, he is underrated and great performer too. "The Love Experience" is his best album though.

Looks like I'll be heading to the record store this weekend...

thanks!

A great artist right here. He did Janet justice with this cover.

Nicely done. I just hope the album turn out to be a nice Neo Soul album and not another over the top sex themed R Kelly album judging from the album title.

He hasn't disappointed yet, album wise.

Umm well, I wasn't too crazy about his third album although there were just a few songs I liked on it. To me, that's his weakest effort to date. The first two are excellent with the first album being my favorite.
