Album Notes & Community Reviews

Taking nearly half a decade to fully realize following his commercial peak, this studio release heavily utilized the digital Synclavier synthesizer to shape its highly polished, modern R&B sound. 'In Square Circle' features meticulously sequenced programming and upbeat, radio-friendly pop-soul compositions, spearheaded by the massive international success of 'Part-Time Lover.' It stands as a pivotal mid-80s technological achievement for the iconic artist.
