With a nationally syndicated radio show on WBLS here in New York, a new hit show "Keith Sweat's Platinum House” ( featuring Dru Hill) on Centric, former Wall Street stockbroker turned singer-songwriter and producer Keith Sweat brings us another round of his signature pop-R&B love ballads on Ridin’ Solo.
You have to respect the guy, he’s been producing albums and discovering artists for over 20 years now, so he’s well aware of what urban listeners expect from him: seductive R&B ballads. His 10th studio album covers that arena quite well. Though the first single “Test Drive” featuring fellow crooner Joe is urban enough, it’s the gritty “Hood Sex” (heard below) that makes us remember “Freak Me” by one of the other groups Keith discovered, Silk. Nonetheless, this album will probably produce plenty of spring babies.
Other recommended tracks: “Famous” and “Tropical”.
Other releases you might like: Al B. Sure, Honey I’m Home and Joe, Signature.
