A Minneapolis Sound R&B Masterpiece
A masterpiece that combines sophisticated production with outstanding vocal talent.
Hits like "Fake" and "Criticize" are a perfect blend of funky beats and urban melodies. Jam & Lewis' meticulous programming and arrangements bring out O'Neal's powerful vocals in the best possible light. This album is an important milestone in R&B history and had a profound influence on subsequent R&B artists. It is an ideal album that combines commercial success with musical perfection.
