After listening to his debut album “Soulboy”, I absolutely go ga-ga over Khalil. I find him extremely talented; definitely a rare gem. In general, Khalil still maintains its soul, Motown style.

Without sacrificing personal style, he has presented a challenge to all other singer-songwriters with this album. It is slightly disappointing that tracks 1, 3, and 6 are all bridges, useful in creating the overall [...]
