Moment For Love is the debut album by Boston Celtics superstar Walter McCarty This album features an eclectic mix of retro R&B and up-tempo dance tracks inspired by the fun and laid back music of the late 80's and the early 90's
R&B + NBA = 0. Confused, well don't be. At six feet ten inches tall and able to play four different positions on the basketball court. Boston Celtics star Walter McCarty is setting his sights on making string music of another kind.
His debut in the big time came when he was a student at the University of Kentucky. He sang the National Anthem before a packed house of 24,000 screaming fans at the Rupp Arena. He matched that feat his rookie season in the NBA as a New York Knick. Walt's unique ability to sing, as well as his basketball skills, caught the eye of world-renowned feature film director, Spike Lee, landing him a role in the hit movie "He Got Game". Walter has also performed on the same stage with such artists as Destiny's Child, Jagged Edge, and upcoming R&B duo Black Coffey.
"Music has always been my first love"
Walter now plans to use the same discipline, determination and dedication it took to make it into the NBA to achieve the highest success in music. Walter accepted the challenge to record an artist album and is about to explode into the music scene with his debut project Moment For Love. With the help of veteran super producer Dave "Jam" Hall, who has produced multi-platinum hits for Mariah Carey, Madonna, Mary J. Blige and Brownstone, Moment For Love is an expression of Walters' that is not often seen running up and down the basketball court. Along with Hall up-and-coming producer Melvin Coleman, Moment For Love explores everything from lost love to letting loose and having a good time. Catchy hooks and smooth melodies makes this debut album a must have for any R&B music fan.

Pull your pant's up Ali!
author: Chris Reveliottyi was watching Borussia do there thing on the soccer field, and I heard a halftime song I had to get. It was from this CD, and it has inspired me to give moments of love out to everyone, so here it goes..."Ali, pull your pants up. No seriously, why I otta smack you....CArla, stop washing your hands!" Thanks Walta, I need a walk.
Hmmm.... how can I say this?
author: Ted Lee F.If someone told me I couldn't listen to "Moment For Love" because I had 2 basketballs in my pants and a steak I bought that needed tenderizing; I'd DEFINITELY take the balls out of my pants and start wacking my meat for "Moment For Love." That's about it. Great.
Can I get a WHUT WHUT!?!
author: Smooth DI bang this album in the hood and yo, for reals, for reals, I get all that ochie-wally son! Walter you just stepped my pimp game up! I'm like an astronaut in the game and ish because of "Moment For Love." I mean word, I get down with dudes too and it's all good. I mean, I get real street grizzly with my face eating out other dudes behinds. It's ugly son. Yo Walt, call me back man, I wanna hang out! Turn off the lights, play the album, and - you know - see what happens...
Very smooth!
author: Director of Alabaster Box Entertainment Inc.Very smooth.. I like the beat and its nice music to relax with.
This jock can sing!
author: David CreekUnlike basically every athlete-musician, Walter McCarty actually possesses musical talent. If you were to do a "blind fold" test and listen to the sound clips before discovering it was Walter McCarty, you would think it was a top R and B artist. That's how good he is. Take just a moment and listen to "Moment for Love." A must-have at cdbaby.com!

author: Paulette WWhen I got this cd in the mail I immediatly put it in my player. I loved it from the first track on. It has a smooth sound. I happen to be in the drive in at the local fast food place and the guy at the window asked me what I had in my player... I told him Walter McCarty and he said that it sounded great. Gave him the address to order. Now he is sportin Walter too. You will not be disappointed with this one.
Movement in my pants while listening to "Moment For Love"!
author: Gary GreyOne word to describe "Moment For Love": Classic. Great R&B album that doesn't forget it's roots. Me and my old lady haven't stopped slow dancing! Walter you got these old hips moving again! p.s. That's not all that's moving! lol thanks, Gary
This is the real State of the Union

author: Gump HizzodGET OUT A HERE! MASSIVLEY CRUNK! this CD is FFFly with a Capital PH baby! Walter's Got the money to burn and the tracks to do the IGNITING. Watch out, This record's hotter than DA SIZUN!
- author: CD Baby
Feel like being seduced tonight? Need a little musical lovin'? Walter McCarty sings with that chocolatey-rich but feather-light touch that calls to mind names like Shawn Stockman, Brian McKnight and Donnie Hathaway. With a colorful palette of Jazz and Pop, these smooth, fluid, R&B tracks slip effortlessly into your heart and surround you with sensuality...something like silk sheets. If smoove is your groove, "Moment For Love" should be your next move.
Still on the winning side!
author: Barry Towler ("The Lowdown", Soul Express)This CD reminds me of the transitional period from when R&B was classic, and before before it turned downright dreadful. I'm talking the early 1990s, the vibes intermixed the cheerful, bubbly electronic soul / dance sounds of the late 80s and the brooding, hip-hop beats of the pending Uptown era. The main element tieing these together was soulful vocals - and this interesting amalgum is recreated here on this CD. If you want a slow jam, then plumb for the title song; if you want something more meatier, then opt for Only For A Day. I hear so much soul here that I am very satisfied. I particularly recommend Its Over Now and I Feel Like Lovin You which have a Mario Winans vibe. That is good enough for me!
You cannot stop WALTAH. U can only hope 2 contain him.
author: LaurenOh shooot. Waltah'z the man! Nothin he can't do..the cd's incredible..had no doubts at all. Waltah is amaaaazing !!
WALTER UR SICK WIT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

- author: Aboodie
This is Great Walter.. one of the best R&B i've heard in a while.. thankx to u and all.. good luck .. GO CELTICS BABY ALL THE WAY
- author: Celticsguy_PA
This cd is not my style for sure but Ill give it a 3 because Im a celtics fan. I am not into r&b. I must say though, he could get famous because for the genre that it is, it beats other r&b artists. I mean the only nba players to make cds sent non positive messages and more nonsensical babble like Allen Iverson or Kobe Bryant. Shaq Diesel was one of my faves back in the day. I heard Wayman Tisdale did a cd like this. I dont really care too much for this cd but like I said, its not my style but beats anything by AI or Kobe.
Simply amazing!
author: Elton JohnThis guy is bloody brilliant! I'd love to sing a duet with him some day. Amazing singer.
I love the album... I mean from the production to the writing, and the sanging.
author: ClayCo from Black CoffeyVery impressive
author: PhatgroovAs a producer myself, I was very impressed with the whole production. You truely put it down and its about time someone is finally bringing back the true soul in R&B. I have no problems playing this in my car. Walt, job well done. Phatgroov
R&B + NBA = A soulful slam dunk!!
author: Jarrard AnthonyGenerally, when athletes make a transition, to music it is mediocre at best. But with Walt you can tell he has a real passion for singing and R&B music. I was surprised and shocked b/c not being a sports fan, I found out he played ball reading his bio. Keep it popping. From one soul stylist to another. Keep it poppin. -ja
Surprise album of '03!
author: Ivan WrightI felt like I should write and let everyone know about Walter McCarty and his great foray into music, "Mood For Love." Like some of these other reviewers, I really had my doubts about an NBA superstar breaking into the music biz, especially R&B. Yet Walter really extinguished all my doubts with "Mood for Love." It's a great album. At times it's playful, at times sad, and at times striaght from the heart. I use a dildo on my girl because I got a problem with my junk. Thanks Walter
Better than playing house
author: Katherine SpauldingIf only I had this album when I was younger, I could have done whatever I wanted in my clubhouse. See my nextdoor neighbor and I loved playing the skin flute, but never had good enough music. I am telling you big Al, if I had a moment for love, things would have been much different. I would have gotten my cookies off in the clubhouse, and when I got home. thanks walter, and Alex, I'll thank you later :)
Wonderful album. Thank you Walter
author: Ruth F.Walter, I just wanted to drop you a quick thank you. Recently I was in the hospital due to complications from liposuction surgery. Needless to say my spirits were really down. My husband Ted played your CD for me and my frown turned upside down. Tracks like “Heaven” and “Freaky Wit Me” really got me smiling again, despite the scarring and pain. Thanks again. Go CELTICS!!!! ;-)
My son loves this album, therefor so do I
author: CArla REveliottyMy son Alex had a very hard time gradewise in school, until he stopped for a moment to recognize. The love he has found from this album made him a better son, and a better lover, from what Anna tells me. Thank you Walter, and Alex, I love you! -Carla
Word Son, WORD!!!
author: Brad FleischerYo honestly I had my doubts at first but Walter rips it on this record. Keep on doing what your doing dude. This albums HOT ya'll. Me and my boo got this album at Newbury Comics and it's been on repeat in the system EVER SINCE, for reals. Drop it like it's hot Walt. -Brad (bradleyfleischer@hotmail.com)
I got the love of Anna back from the love of WAlter
author: Alex ReveliottyI love this CD, and can't way enough about it. Women never talked to me, maybey because I stay in the house all day and drink bud light, but I also think it's because I am shy. But know that I have Moment for Love, girlies always want to be around me. But there is only one I love, and that is my mom Carla. Not in a way that you can describe in a moment, but you all get what I mean. Keep keepin it real walter, and I hope yo buy you a bud light some day-Alex
- author: Darrell
Unlike a number of athletes who try to sing or rap Walter proves he is dedicated to making quality music. I hope Walter continues to work hard in the studio and I look foward to his 2nd album.

Oh Snizzap!!!
author: Ralph SantellaYo, These tracks are off the heezee!!! Word. I'll be calling my shorty now, yo.
Off the hook!
author: MarcoThis is the best R&B CD I've bought in years. Usually for me to purchase a CD I have to like at least 40% of the CD. I bought this CD only after listening to 4 songs online. When I actually received the CD, I realized the whole CD was the bomb! This is true modern R&B as far as I'm concerned. I come from the old school days when R&B was all music like this CD, not hip hop like it is now. Everyone is calling hip hop R&B and they are two completely seperate genres. This is this sheeyat! Keep it up!
This Better Be Good
author: Breddan OkonnalI love walter. I examine rashes. I evaluate pros and cons, and i prep for essays.
Not surprised by McCarty's skills
author: Community Relations InternI am not surprised by the quality of this CD. The CD is just as nice as Walter's personality. Great job Walter. I look forward to your next project. Only For A Day has become my new favorite song. Peace.
way to go WALTA!!!!!
author: Sean VilandreThis cd is awsome. i never thought that WALTA had such a voice. this cd is just as good as he is on tha Celtics
Ballads and Ball, what can't you do?
author: The Clemons BrothersWe just heard the tracks. The record is hot. When is the next project going to happen? We need to work together on a song. Keep up the Good Work. Nate Love & Big Mike - The Clemons Brothers

- author: Victoria Scheller

Better Than "Havlicek Stole the Ball"
author: Joey ceePleasantly surprised how much I like it...not an R&B guy but this cd is great!...If the Celts offense ran this smoothly we'd be hoisting a new banner.
Way To Go Walta
author: Bruno Sundavits off tha hook
Walter your voice is very captivating and smooth. Very Talented!!
author: Candy RainI have yet to review the entire cd but the first song is enough to make me want to purchase it. I love his vocals so smooth and sexy, gets you right in the mood for love.
Surprised, impressed by talent & passion
author: Joshua ProvostI purchased Moment for Love based on Walter's reputation as a basketball player alone. I was instantly surprised and impressed. The souful R&B groove mellows you out immediately, the lyrics and instrumentation are top-notch, and Walter proves to be an excellent vocalist. Walter brings ever bit as much passion to this album as brings to the basketball court.
Yeah baby!
author: TemiikaWalter you have a wonderful voice. Brian Mcnight can't even touch this. Follow your heart and continue to do your best. You will always have my support.
Walter McCarty = Pure, Hidden Talent!!
author: Quanda.Who knew.. that within those luscious lips lied a hidden talent for Rhythm and Blues? I love to listen to this CD in my car with the sound BLASTED so I can sing along and no one knows how bad I sound. Everyone keeps asking me "who is that singing?" and I say "that's Walter McCarty.. he's hot.. go pick it up!!" Excellent job, Walt! Congrats!!
Walter is amazing and this cd is just another way he proves it
author: Kori HaackWalter is an amazing person and his cd shows just how much of a loving and caring person he is. He has so many wonderful talents but i think his singing is his best yet!! I love the cd and will cherish it always. Good luck with all you do Walter, you are great!!!

Its a hit!!!
author: Zeke, Amos, and Hank (and bill walton)Walter's CD is better than the shaq pack i just ate. Does walter think about love when he is sinking 3's from the corner. The day that this CD is bad is the day that my grandma hits 3's from the corner, and Bruno starts. Thumbs up to the sky. Multi-Platinum??? sounds right to me.
