*** Christion, “Ghetto Cyrano,”

Roc-a-Fella/Def Jam/Mercury. Its falsettos trembling over pimp-smooth, reclining grooves, this Bay Area duo coos with a cool attitude about affairs on the street corner and in the boudoir. Though a tad less sensual than Maxwell’s whispers and not as hip-hop rugged as D’Angelo’s corn-rowed nonchalance, Ghetto Cyrano nonetheless swaggers with a gigolo’s confidence.

Albums are rated on a scale of one star (poor), two stars (fair), three stars (good) and four stars (excellent).
