 This is one of my favorite cd's of all time! From the first time I heard it a couple of years ago, to today, it is still an incredible cd. The mix of smooth R&B and jazz make this album perfect. My personal favorites are the tracks by Lauryn Hill, Maxwell, Cassandra Wilson, Me'Shell Negeocello, and Duke Ellington w/John Coltrane. Perfect...
Also included in the set is "The Sweetest Thing" by the Refugee Camp All-Stars. This is the first song featuring Lauryn Hill on vocals that captivated me. Another gem on the CD is "Rush Over" by bassist Marcus Miller with Me'Shell N'degeocello on vocals. The interplay between these two artists on this track help make this CD worth purchasing. The CD also includes some classic tracks like Duke Ellington's "In a Sentimental Mood" and a re-recorded version of Minnie Riperton's "Inside My Love" by Trina Broussard. While Ms. Broussard does a nice rendition, you're left wanting to re-visit the classic version. Overall, the soundtrack is an above average CD. One wishes that some of the other tracks were as distinctive as the ones mentioned above.

When I first heard "Hopeless," the Dionne Farris track that opens the film (it's also the first song on the CD), I was hooked. The lyrics are great with a track the reminds one of classic 1970s soul.
I can't stop loving you is the bomb music in love jones.
