Rahsaan Patterson's Love in Stereo was the most exhilarating and, certainly, the most overlooked R&B release of 1999. It's confounding why an album so jubilant, so self-assured, and so unequivocally soulful didn't even garner a top 10 hit for the multitalented Patterson, who wrote, produced, and sang on all 12 of its inspired tracks. Laden with unforgettable hooks, blissful melodies, and fat, luscious grooves, the songs on Patterson's sophomore release reveal a reverence for the past, namely the glorious 1970s albums of Stevie Wonder, Donnie Hathaway, and Curtis Mayfield. But, crooning in a crystalline tenor, the native New Yorker creates a funky-yet-meditative sound that's all his own. Patterson mixes in gospel stylings ("The Day"), horn-driven funk à la Earth, Wind & Fire ("Any Other Love"), and political commentary ("Treat You Like A Queen," which speaks to the issue of domestic violence), while conveying a sentiment sorely lacking in much of today's monotonous R&B playing field: pure musical uplift. --Sylvia W. Chan

A very strong Stive Wonder Influence.......2007-06-07

This is the only album I have of his but, I think it might be his best. The reason I have not run out to buy his other cd's is because, some of his songs are the same from one album to the next but, he is still a good artist. An example of this is, Get Here on this album and Where you Are on the last, same song! also two songs on his After Hours album, So Hot and Burnin same song!. Ok on a positive note, the song writing is top notch and......

A Man that can really sing and write songs........2007-03-01

I finally bought this CD and I really like it. He is a good singer and the music compliments each song. He is sooo under-rated and I can't believe why. I would love to see him in Concert. He songs are really soothing and funky. I hope he will be around a long time bring us this good music. We need good male singers that can sing and peform without taking off their clothes to get attention. His album should have had more publicity.

Soulful, pop, rock and more rolled up into one. There is nothing more I can say about Rahsaan Patterson's work other than if you don't have his CD's you are missing out on some great music. Ten stars, change the rating system.

Ehhhhh, It's okay. .......2006-06-06

I have to confess. As steadfast to my own opinions on music, and as contrarian and elitist I feel that I am when discerning great music from [...], I can still be swayed by old fashioned hype. Rahsaan Patterson's "Love In Stereo" is a perfect example of what can happen when you buy into the hoopla. Now don't take this wrong. This brother is ultra talented and a hell of a fine singer, but ultimately the product's gotta stand up to the praise. That being said, this album's not bad, it's just not that good. Not from a musical standpoint, because the playing is funky and phenomenal throughout. A tight band, well written lyrics, and solid production (Sure Boy & Treat You Like A Queen are nice) usually makes for a banger. In this case inexplicably, it all fails to gel for me. I think my biggest hang-ups are the lack of replay value and the absence of a kick a** ballad, a must for my tastes. I honestly cannot see myself reaching for this album for repeat listens. As much as I love strong "neo-soul" music, as far as albums go, I'd rather listen to any of Jill Scott's, Kindred's or Kem's releases before "Love In Stereo". Hell, give me D'Angelo's "Voodoo" (the genre's gold standard imo) or Bilal's "First Born Second" all day every day.

Much of this release sounds a lot like what one might hear at a good open mic function or a nice soul cafe. Strong enough to grab your interest, just not quite good enough to keep it. I must tell you that this is my first purchase of RP's. I saw him on Tom Joyner's show one night, and he killed it. He reminds me greatly of Stokely from Mint Condition who is one of my top male singers in the game. I got curious, and read the reviews here, and decided I'd grab one of his early works to start. This time I'll pick up one of his later albums. I'm hoping I won't be dissapointed. He's way too talented to let me down again. At least I'm hoping.

A Travesty That This CD and This Artist Is Virtually Ignored!!.......2006-02-09

Rahsaan Patterson is a great talent who has
released 3 great albums of material since 1997..
but this one, to my ear, is the best so far!
It's a shame that only a small few really know
about this guy who can write, arrange, produce,
play multiple instruments and sing his natural
you-know-what off!
He has a lot of Chaka Khan in his phrasing
and he has an unusally high voice for a man
to some people and most of black radio will
only play a select few of his cuts late at night....
what a waste!
The highlights of this CD are "It's Alright",
"Sure Boy", "The Day", and two others whose
titles escape me right now but this whole CD
is nice!...Trust!

I hate that he was dropped from his deal with
MCA/Universal last year and had to release his
latest "After Hours" on a european indie
that has little or no distibution so once again,
like this great album, he gets no love from
mainstream radio, video, etc.

Rahsaan and Jon B. are the most overlooked
talents in urban music today!

Heavenly Experience.......2007-02-28

Absolutely breathtaking! This music will take you on the most heavenly trip you have ever experienced while still alive, with a headset on. buy it now!

Unlike anything else I've ever heard........2005-06-20

No kidding. Thus music really DOES transport you into "other worlds". I've never heard anything like it. There is a certain kind of "brilliance", or "sheen", or EXTREME-positiveness (hard to describe) in this music, that I've never encountered in other music. If you like "going to other places" with music, especially truly uplifting places, man oh man, you've found the right album! And like the album notes say, if you listen with headphones and your eyes closed, it is a totally immersive audio experience.

Bonus track also available on Australian version.......2007-06-06

Bonus track "Digging Your Scene" was originally by 80's group The Blow Monkeys and it's ridiculous that it's not included on the US release of this album. You MUST download this song as it's one of the highlights of the album. Anyway the rest of the album is really good as well. Once again the US public have been shafted.

He Treated Me Like A Quuen .......2004-09-09

I have always been a fan of him since Kids INc. The boy is bad he shows his greatness on the 2nd effort. Thanks RP! for bringing the soul back to R&B. Thanks for the music and ur incredible voice.

The Soul of a Man.......2000-12-28

One cannot appreciate true beauty or true art, in any form, if true art and beauty seem to be unencounterable. To understand Rahsaan Patterson and his music, you must understand and appreciate art. His music represents a soul in flight, coasting on ecstasy. There is no commercialized nonsense that goes along with it, just pure soul. He frees himself and others with his words, his voice, the melody, the care in the selection of which instruments he chooses for each song. He has his own style- a grace that is ever present when he sings, but also in his stage presence, and interviews. His words are clear, his voice strong, even when he sings in a low pitch for emphasis. Love In Stereo proves the sincerity in his eyes as he sings his heart out; as he acts out the passion that envelops his soul. And he chooses to share it with the world. Why? Rahsaan has a gift of beauty, a gift of art. He wants others to see it and appreciate it. There is no one nor any CD (besides his first self entitled album),that compares to his style-Rahsaan is past perfection. He is five star quality.

amazing.......2003-08-28

this band is hardcore rock n roll at its finest. i saw this band perform live in 1999 in south carolina and they blew me away just like this album "threedom in stereo". i wish nothing but the best for this band. keep rockin! spauny

Nice debut, with some great songs........2001-10-13

I've seen this band play in Atlanta before and their live shows are incredible. But too often, great live bands don't put out great studio recordings (at least not on their first go-round). But this record is so much fun to listen to. It's inspiring to hear modern music that is catchy, passionate, and played with such style. The bonus track is probably my favorite. Frontman Jeffrey Butts is a talented singer and a charismatic entertainer. Hope to hear more from this bunch.

Great addition to your CD collection!.......2001-04-01

This CD was recommended to me by a friend -- I usually don't buy CDs of artists that I don't know much about, but I'm sure glad I got this one! This is a great CD -- this band is really going to go places! I listen to it all the time -- it is da bomb! I hope they're working on their next one -- I can't wait!
