Love springs eternal form the gorgeous lips of "Kevon Edmonds" on his new CD "24/7." That Edmonds sound certainly permeates the whole family. "Never Love You" is a soulful song telling you that "he'll never love you" the way that Kevon can. Girlfriend, I can tell you, as fine as he is, he might be right. The next song, "Love Will Be Waiting," says that Kevon can see the love we have for him in our eyes and he knows it will never go away.

"24/7," the title track, tells us that Kevon loves us all the time. Kevon goes on to croon to us that "When I'm With You" nothing else matters. That because of that special woman he's a different man. "How Often" sings like a love letter to win back his lost loves heart. In the next track, "Baby Come To Me," Kevon is being that "Cleanup man" and picking up the pieces of your broken heart. "A Girl Like You" is a duet with the man himself, "Babyface." In this song you feel double the love as they tell you that there is no other girl like you. "I Want You More" is a song of longing for that woman Kevon tasted once and just can't get enough of. The following song, "No Love," is that age old "begging song" from that man who has done you wrong, but wants you back.

"Sensitive Mood" is the ultimate song for setting the romantic scene. Kevon tells you exactly how to make the evening perfect. He asks us in the next track, "Anyway," why do we play all those games? The last song, "Tell Me," is going out to that sometimey girlfriend who just can't make up her mind.

From new love, to old love, hurt love, to sexual love, "Kevon Edmonds" covers a spectrum of feelings and expressions on this project. This CD is perfect for setting the mood on that special evening, with that special someone. The wonderful production, writing and singing is found in every song. I've been jammin' it ever since I got it and you will too. If you don't go out and get this one you'll beat yourself later.
