I need to hear this album at some point.  Without checking it out I'm thinking it has Anderson .Paak 'Ventura' vibes but with a female vocalist and perhaps some less uptempo beats but if its anywhere near that, count me in (plus if Dre's mastered it then I know sonically it's gonna be real nice).

The album is fine like good wine, crystal clear chill out music with Dre's maestro touch that will age well (Music that inspired Marsha).

I know it's a Dre record, but it would of sounded classier by being clean for a change.

Marsha Ambrosius' "Casablanco": A Nostalgic Journey Through the Soulful Sounds



Embracing the Essence of Neo-Soul

Marsha Ambrosius' latest album, "Casablanco," is a captivating exploration of the artist's musical roots, seamlessly blending the essence of neo-soul with a touch of jazz and a nod to the rich musical heritage that has inspired her through her life.

Marsha Ambrosius' "Casablanco": A Nostalgic Journey Through the Soulful Sounds of the Pastout her career. As a longtime fan of Ambrosius' work, I was eager to dive into this album, and I must say, it has exceeded my expectations.

A Masterful Blend of Old and New

One of the standout features of "Casablanco" is the way Ambrosius effortlessly weaves together the old and the new, creating a listening experience that is both familiar and refreshing. The album's sound is heavily influenced by the neo-soul genre, which Ambrosius has long been associated with, but it also incorporates elements of classic jazz, making for a rich and layered sonic tapestry.

Embracing the Complexity

What sets "Casablanco" apart is its willingness to embrace complexity. Unlike the current trend towards more simplistic musical arrangements, this album revels in the intricate interplay of harmonies, orchestral elements, and dynamic rhythms. Tracks like "Music Out of My Mind" showcase Ambrosius' ability to create compositions that are both captivating and challenging, inviting the listener to delve deeper into the layers of sound.

A Nod to the Past, a Step Forward

One of the most striking aspects of "Casablanco" is the way it pays homage to the musical icons and influences that have shaped Ambrosius' artistry. Throughout the album, listeners will find subtle nods and references to the works of legendary artists such as Stevie Wonder, as well as Ambrosius' own previous musical endeavors. This nostalgic thread runs through the album, creating a sense of familiarity and connection that is both comforting and thought-provoking.

A Listening Experience to Savor

The true strength of "Casablanco" lies in its ability to captivate the listener from start to finish. Unlike some albums that may feature a few standout tracks, this offering from Ambrosius is a cohesive and immersive listening experience. The album's relatively short length of 11 tracks is a deliberate choice, allowing the artist to curate a focused and intentional sonic journey.

Versatility and Accessibility

One of the album's standout qualities is its versatility. "Casablanco" is an excellent choice for a variety of listening scenarios, whether you're seeking a soulful companion for a long drive or a rich, layered backdrop for a relaxing evening. The album's accessibility and ability to resonate with a wide range of listeners is a testament to Ambrosius' skill as a songwriter and producer.

A Critique and a Celebration

While "Casablanco" is a remarkable achievement, it's worth acknowledging the critique that the album may lean too heavily on nostalgia and familiar musical elements. The artist's extensive use of samples, references, and nods to the past could be seen as a reliance on the comfort of the known, rather than a bold step into uncharted territory. However, this approach is also a celebration of the rich musical heritage that has shaped Ambrosius' artistry, and it ultimately serves to create a deeply immersive and satisfying listening experience.

A Triumph of Artistic Expression


In the end, "Casablanco" stands as a triumph of artistic expression, showcasing Marsha Ambrosius' unwavering commitment to her craft and her ability to create music that is both deeply personal and universally appealing. This album is a must-listen for fans of neo-soul, jazz, and anyone who appreciates the power of music to transport and inspire. Ambrosius has once again proven herself to be a master of her craft, and "Casablanco" is a testament to her enduring artistry.

The credits you posted didn't have the song tittle which is why I asked (you think I would ask if ot were there). All good though still don't believe that's Sly regardless of the credits (credits have been wrong before) Sly's vocal tone is similar to Name Dogg's, this dude has a higher pitch. But if that is him then has off to Sly and to you providing an answer to my question.
