JAHEIM Albums

Khaliah here. Thank you to those who responded to my comment. I really appreciate the feedback. My thing is that I just don’t want to see Jaheim do anything to damage his beautiful voice which, to me, is like a fine-tuned instrument. What Stradivarius was to the violin, Jaheim is to a song: a gifted, heavenly voiced singer who’s about the only one in music today who can really sing. Jah truly earns his money because he doesn’t need to studio trickery to enhance his voice—it’s naturally occurring. Though I’ve never seen or heard him live, I bet he sounds as good live as he does on record. Too bad he’s so undersung. Jaheim should be singing theme songs to movies, or using his talent to voice-over jingles for commercials. Too many times, our silky soul singers go the wrong way in their personal lives: they use drugs, smoke cigarettes, drink to excess, party too hard, or other behaviors that can damage their gift or rob them of it. Even if we don’t say it, we all know that most of us are hurt at what happened to Whitney. We wonder how this woman, with this instrument of a voice, let what happened to her occur. Where were her priorities? Didn’t she know that she was that good? Where did it all go wrong? I admit that now I really don’t want to hear anything from her. I hope Jah knows he’s that good, and it’s worth it to vigorously care for his voice.

Not to disparage any of the following vocalists, but who do we have today: Anthony Hamilton has a beautiful voice, but he might crack along the way; Usher is still sowing his oats so all his songs are about sex, romp and no circumstance; can we really believe R. Kelly, a talented singer/songwriter/musician, but father’s, lock up your daughters; Maxwell might go away again; Musiq, also a thrice-gifted artist, doesn’t possess the voice nor the bearing; Trey Songz couldn’t bust a grape in a grape factory; Chris Brown will come back, but only in urban markets (everything’s dependent on if the mainstream forgives him); even though he keeps hanging in there—and rightfully so—Prince is playing off the respect and reverence his fans have for him; Johnny Gill with his beautiful voice hasn’t done a thing in 15 years; and D’Angelo (such a sad story) got a big L on his forehead for loser. And for the record, where’s Miles Jaye, Keith Washington, Christopher Williams, and Jeffrey Osborne—artists with beautiful voices who have just faded away? Jaheim has the voice to carry us in to the new millennium—he can carry the torch.

So basically that’s my point. I appreciate when a person, whether male or female, can bring something to the table and make you actually visualize in your mind the story they are telling. As I said, Jah’s delivery is impeccable, his voice is beautiful, and I truly hope he has staying power.
