Review

Entertainment Weekly (11/5/99, p.83) - "...will probably be remembered for 'Turn The Lights Down Low,' a digital duet between Lauryn Hill and the late Bob Marley....[The album also] weds sultry commercial R&B...with boho sounds...amd resiliently inventive rap." - Rating: B+
Q (2/00, p.84) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...the calibre of artist os high....well-sung synth-soul...."
The Source (12/99, p.260) - "...a gem-filled compilation....this is a great album. Urban romance soundtracks haven't slipped off since BOOMERANG."

Title Note

Original music score composed by Stanley Clarke.

"Turn Your Lights Down Low" was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals.

Filmmaker Malcolm Lee has often averred in interviews that the difference between he and his famous cousin is that while Spike prefers to present the grittier underside of life, Malcolm leans to themes of the softer side of life, to simpler love stories. This distinction carries into the music that graces their soundtracks. While Spike's movies tend to mine Soul history for songs whose pop overtones hide more profound meanings, on THE BEST MAN, Malcolm primarily calls upon practitioners of love songs to compliment his acclaimed debut flick.

Incomparable modern soul crooner Maxwell provides the kindest cuts on the album, shining on the spiraling plea "Let's Not Play the Game" and the sharp "As My Girl." The Roots, who rarely if ever let down, do another rap/female singer duet in style on the alluring "What You Want." However you may feel about combining the vocals of departed artists with modern vocalists for a digital duet, it's hard to deny the appeal of "Turn Your Lights Down Low," which combines Bob Marley's signature purr and growl with Lauryn Hill's trademark smooth vocals. THE BEST MAN stands as a both sweet and eclectic collection of love songs.
