It marked, perhaps, the first time Musiq appeared truly comfortable that night, a remarkable fact since he was about three-fourths of the way through his show-slash-de facto release party for his sixth album MusiqInTheMagiq. Last Tuesday night at the Highline Ballroom, he took a few steps back, clenched both fists as if to compose himself, and sang, accompanied by his background singers: “Baby don’t you know you’re so beautiful?” There’s a moment after the bridge to Musiq Soulchild’s “So Beautiful” that the 33-year-old artist descends, in one phrase, from his effortless, flighty falsetto back into the baritone that made him famous more than 10 years ago.
