Album Notes & Community Reviews

A massive, multi-platinum debut that helped firmly establish the romantic, vocal-driven side of the New Jack Swing movement. Executive produced by Andre Harrell, the album pairs the singer's airy, falsetto crooning with tough, syncopated drum machine programming. Featuring the chart-topping smash 'Nite and Day', it became an inescapable staple of contemporary R&B and urban radio formats.
