The Revelation is Now Televised

Editorial Reviews
Product Description
BBE Records is proud to release the full length album from Philly soul artist V entitled The Revelation Is Now Televised. The album features a guest appearance from platinum selling soul artist Jill Scott. V’s album also features top quality production from the A Touch Of Jazz camp (DJ Jazzy Jeff, P. Smoovah, and others). The album features the tracks “Hey Pretty Baby”, “Would You Be Mine”, and “Anotha Phase”.

Throughout the 90’s, V worked with various singers and producers (including Christopher Williams and James Poyser) as a back up singer. V eventually released is debut single “It’s Raining” which reached # 1 on the 9 at 9 Countdown on Philly commercial urban radio station Power 99 FM. This song caught the ears of DJ Jazzy Jeff who brought V into the A Touch Of Jazz production team for writing assignments on songs for Will Smith, Musiq Soulchild, and Justin Timberlake. As well under the ATOJ camp, V lended his vocals to numerous tracks on DJ Jazzy Jeff’s Magnificent album.

In the summer of 2005, V was on tour with Jill Scott and Erykah Badu for the Sugar Water Festival. With vocal comparisons to Marvin Gaye and Donny Hathaway, but with contemporary musical appeal, there is no doubt that V will appeal to soul and traditional R&B consumers alike.

4 out of 5 stars This album is lava - underground and hot!.......2007-06-18

It's a shame that there isn't a mainstream show on TV or cable channel that profiles artists like this, short of BET J, and even then, there's only so many artists they can get past the program directors.

V is a phenomenal soul artist that deserves to be heard on mainstream radio. I hope more than a select few are fortunate enough to hear him. Less Omarion, Akon and the rest of that garbage and more artists like V, please. Thanks!

4 out of 5 stars A LOST SOUL FOUND.......2007-01-26

4 out of 5 stars Very very good..........2006-05-28

This is an excellent CD. I'd never heard of this artist prior to buying the CD. I discovered it via the "customers who bought this, also bought..." section. After listening to the samples - which I loved - I ordered it. It really is excellent. His vocals really remind me of cross between Marvin Gaye and Musiq. I also love his melodies, his beats, and his vibe. (Oh, and that cover picture on the CD doesn't do him justice - pictures inside the CD reveal that the brotha is fine.) Hopefully this won't be the last we hear from him. And, Jill Scott's spoken word on track 8 is quintessentially Jill - really beautiful.

4 out of 5 stars another one under the radar.......2006-03-25

as soon as i sampled this cd i knew i had to have it. its sad to me that good music doesn't count anymore. instead if you got marginal talent but have a song with a catchy hook that the radio can play 80,000 times in an hour then you get love. r&b is no longer r&b unless you have jadakiss on it. that's corny and overused. this guy and many others like him need to be pushed to the forefront and make the sub-standard talent step up their game and sing about something for once.

the music on this cd is smooth and soothing. the vibe is perfect for the ones who can appreciate real r&b without the chaos. i guarantee this one will go over just fine for anyone who gets it. its hot. trust me.

4 out of 5 stars Great Cd.......2006-02-23

I have been playing this cd nonstop since I got it. I love his voice, nice and very soothing. Some extremely hot tracks on here...reminicent to Musiq. They are similar but different though....
