An R&B piece that combines powerful vocals with an urban groove.
This R&B album by a female Def Jam singer fuses powerful vocals with an urban funk groove. The meticulous arrangements and gorgeous production make it a perfect example of late '80s R&B.
Alyson Williams' powerful vocals resonate freely over a groove created by thick bass and sharp drums. The horn section and synthesizers intertwine in a three-dimensional way, giving the overall sound a lustrous quality. The tempo of dance numbers and slow ballads is skillfully arranged, resulting in an excellent balance of composition. While inheriting elements of funk, the sophisticated production vividly captures the feel of the era. A masterpiece of urban R&B where energy and dignity coexist.
