6, Musiq is ready to share his fountain of love that seems to overflow when he stares at his lover-so much so that it pushes him to the brink of insanity as heard down below. With croons that are reminiscent of Aaliyah, it’s fitting that this song is titled “Babygirl.” By the time we reach track No. With a clever double entendre, he belts out, “I wanna thank your father/ For making you on that day.” From the knock of the church organ to the rattling of a tambourine, Soulchild stands before the congregation to testify on a love so profound that he had to shout hallelujah. The Philly native pledges allegiance to his girl’s love kingdom with the fervor of a church choir.
This melody could’ve been the precursor to 2007’s “B.U.D.D.Y.” with all of the “maybes” that are littered throughout the track. Soulchild is ready to become exclusive, but he can’t tell if his other half is on the same wavelength. The moment when you try to figure out the difference between “talking” and “dating” rears its head on this thumping track.
AAries serves as that vocal figure on “Caughtup” where Soulchild seemingly rekindles an old flame that he plans to pursue once the formalities are out the way. The utilization of a woman’s voice plays a central role throughout this soundscape. “Everything is cool when love is all brand new/ ‘Cause you’re learning me and I’m learning you,” he sings. Via his cellular device, he gets to know his potential lifelong partner through a set of questions from “what’s your sign” to occupation to meeting the parents one day.

“I always saw myself as the black sheep of the family I was always doing my own thing.” At an early age, Musiq decided he would discontinue his high school education, which proved to make his road to success much more difficult "I really wish I stayed, cause even though I didn't like it that much I still could've taken advantage of the many resources that being in school has to offer.” When Musiq was 17 he left home to live life on his own terms, finding himself having to depend on the kindness of friends, and sometimes strangers, as he struggled with everyday survival "Man, I did what I had to, I slept on couches, the bus, the train, the park, whatever, it didn't matter, I just knew things wasn't gonna be that way forever.” It was during that time Musiq started to build a reputation for being musically gifted, beat boxing for MC's, free styling on the open mic circuit, scatting at a jazz club, or just performing a cappella in the streets of Philadelphia, which is where he got the name "Musiq" and later he added "Soulchild" which is intended to respect and represent the legacy and traditions of past great soul stars.Soulchild begins his journey to the land where lovers lay by getting over those awkward phone conversations.
