Guided by the visionary production of Teddy Riley and Babyface, the former New Edition singer delivered a world-conquering blockbuster that effectively defined the New Jack Swing era. Fusing the sleek vocal harmonies of traditional R&B with the hard-hitting drum programming of hip-hop, the record remains a massive, paradigm-shifting commercial triumph.
