Raheem DeVaughn - Ridiculous
- Artist: Raheem DeVaughn
- Track: Ridiculous
- Producer: Jerry Good
- Album: A Place Called Love Land
I cannot tell a lie, Booth readers: Raheem DeVaughn's latest single is f**king Ridiculous. While I'm using that adjective in the positive, slangy sense, the singer evidently wouldn't mind if I applied the dictionary definition (“deserving or inviting derision or mockery”) to him. As long as he gets to be with a certain woman, he could care less what unkind words are aimed his way. On this heartfelt, Ne-Yo-penned ballad, the DMV resident emphasizes his willingness to look like a fool for love. Jerry Good complements the singer's dreamy, falsetto-laced vocals with a retro, yet fresh blend of ringing keys, downtempo percussion and atmospheric synth-strings. Fans will be able to find this cut, April's reader-approved The Love Connection and much more on A Place Called Love Land, scheduled to drop via 368 Music Group/Mass Appeal Ent. before summer's end.
