Album Notes & Community Reviews
Serving as the namesake for an entire late-night radio format, 'A Quiet Storm' redefined R&B with its sophisticated, incredibly smooth orchestral soul production. Smokey Robinson's delicate falsetto navigates through highly romantic, mellow soundscapes that established a mature, nocturnal aesthetic for decades to follow.
