Soul singer Raheem DeVaughn sounds equally inspired by the gospel sounds of the church and the street funk of hip-hop. The newcomer possesses a falsetto voice like the one that made women swoon and pass out at Marvin Gaye concerts yet his range is way beyond ballads. 'The Love Experience,' Raheem's first record for Jive, touches on raw soul, delta blues and the sounds of Sunday sermons. The sweet and sensual "Guess Who Loves You More" and the psychedelic drama of the title song may bring about seventies flashbacks, but DeVaughn makes the decade sound sultry and mellow. His new single,"Believe" combines folksy guitar elements with pained stories of the soul.
