Musiq Soulchild's double album doubles down on love

Musiq Soulchild, Feel the Real (eOne Music)

Besides its double-album length, the most ear-catching aspect of Musiq Soulchild's Feel the Real is the chance to hear the Philadelphia-born artist during nearly every moment of his eighth album.

Feel the Real is long, dense and mostly fulfilling, but Musiq's omnipresence also requires commitment to get through its more than 97 minutes at once.
