4 out of 5 stars Take A Chance If You Love Good Music (& You Can Afford It!).......2006-09-09

Here it is, the middle of the summer in 2006, and there is absolutely no new R&B to check out. R&B in America seems to be at a standstill. So naturally, you must search for some worthwhile music to check out, even if it did come out some time ago. Enter Sy Smith, the most known unknown there is when it comes to soul music. We've all heard her music or someone else singing the lyrics to the songs that she has written. You remember the theme song of the cable series Soul Food? Yep, that was her singing alongside Al Green for the show's opening number. What about the songstress that blessed numerous episodes of Ally McBeal? Her again! She even did back up singing for Usher, Brandy, and the incomparable Whitney Houston (before the diva started living up to the slogan 'This is your brain on drugs.') With all those projects as well as a slew of others, you would think that Sy Smith would be the number one soul artist in the world right now. In some people's minds, she probably is. And with The Syberspace Social, she further demonstrates her ingenuity and non-conforming approach to soul singing.

Every track on The Syberspace Social has a unique flair all its own. "Fa' Sho" will put you in a funky stratosphere right away. "Time" follows suit with a trip-hop voyage led by Sy herself. "Part of the Night" features a familiar sound brought forth by ATCQ's own Ali Shaheed Muhammed. Other standout tracks include the soulful "Luvandsuch," the lounge feel of "Drop That," the toe-tapping beat of "Aquarius Rising," and the futuristic sounds of both "Turnstyles" and "No Place Like Love."

Sy Smith does it like no other singer can. Some artists have tried to do albums like this and failed miserably (any later albums by Macy Gray for instance). This import-only album is worth the money if you truly are looking for an authentic one-of-a-kind soul escapade. The Syberspace Social may not be easily accessible, but it is certainly impressive enough for all to enjoy.

5 out of 5 stars Like nothing on the radio.......2006-01-19

And that is what makes Sy Smith and her current release "The Syberspace Social" stand out among recycled R&B hooks infused with outdated samples which sums up much of what's considered the current trend of urban R&B. Sy Smith rejects all boundaries and confined categories with the opening track 'Welcome 2 Syberspace' sounds exactly like it's title, a musically dreamy rhythmic soundscape with smooth vocals layered within, which sets the tone for an amazing CD. With production by James Poyser, Ali Shaheed Muhummad, & Nicolay Sy Smith comes through with a true gem with this project. Other standout tracks include "Aquarius Rising", "Stand Alone", "Time" & "Turnstyles" her vocal ability is unquestionable as she covers an array of styles from jazzy to simply smooth. Sy Smith is definitely right on time.
