“anything (Feat. Swizz Beatz)” is now available via
iTunes. Produced by Jerry “Wonda” Duplessis (Wyclef Jean, Justin Bieber,

having recently bulleted its way into the top 40 on Billboard‘s “R&B/Hip-Hop Songs” chart based on radio airplay audience as measured by Nielsen BDS.

“MUSIQINTHEMAGIQ” follows the ATL-based singer’s two previous
Atlantic releases, 2008’s acclaimed “ONMYRADIO” and 2007’s RIAA
gold-certified label debut, “LUVANMUSIQ.” In addition to Musiq’s always
soulful energy, the album touches on an array of musical styles,
