This could well be one of the most significant albums in my collection. It was released at a time where I was just starting to dig around with Soul Music especially the Neo-Soul sound and still till this day I listen to it with the same excitment and enthusiuam. The jazzy baselines and rhythms play wonderfully making his sweet yet somewhat nasty lovesongs seem both classically old and new at the same time. It's hard to go pass the gooey and sweet 'Brown Sugar', 'Me and Those Dreamin' Eyes of Mine', 'Shit, Damn, Motherfucker' and the cover of Smokey Robinson's 'Cruisin' which is done with class and respect. One to start any good modern Soul collection. 5/5
