The Renaissance by Q-Tip Worth the Wait
A month after the release of Renaissance by Q-Tip, I finally got to download the album from iTunes and use up portion of the $50 gift card I got for my birthday. It wasn't all easy breezy. It was a four-step process. It might have been simpler to drive to a store and buy it.
Four Steps to Purchasing Renaissance from Q-Tip on iTunes.
**had to buy the album on my desktop because my laptop didn't have enough room to download it
**had to get the latest version of iTunes before I could download it because it comes with some super-cool video
**had to agree to the terms of service (luckily I didn't have to read it ;)
**had to verify that I really wanted to buy it, twice. Answer, yes, YES!!!
But for Q-Tip, it's worth it. This man has the skills. I've been a Q-tip fan as early as Groove is in the Heart.
and I FREAKED over People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm. (I couldn't embed the I Left My Wallet in El Segundo video but it is available on YouTube for viewing).
I still play that CD regularly. In fact, It was an integral part of my Thanksgiving festivities this year. If you want to feel good, groove out and even get a little bit of soul 'food', buy Renaissance by Q-Tip on iTunes.
It's been 9 years since he released his last solo album, Amplified.
The history of Q-Tip and Renaissance is at Wikipedia.
