Query: One of the best soul/R&B releases of 2000!

I do not usually get into R&B/Soul music that is embraced by the mainstream audience, but I decided to give Carl Thomas a chance after hearing so many good things about the album. I am glad I listened. I do not know how to classify this album because it is much better than most of the stuff that you hear on urban radio, but it is not quite neo-soul. This album is an example of what real R&B/Soul music is supposed to sound like. Hey Now and Supa Star are some tunes on here that are reminiscent of old-school sounds. Summer Rain, Emotional, Supa Star and Cold Cold World are some of my favorites. Get this album and if you are like me, the only button that you will be hitting while listening to this album is the repeat button.
