NEW MUSIC: Keith Sweat - I'm The One You Want

Anyway, Keith's brand-new album "Ridin' Solo" pretty much dropped out of nowhere, even i didn't see this coming. Although i did get his joint "Test Drive (feat. Joe)" a few months ago, which was a hint of a new release, but it still caught me off-guard. But hey, it's Keith, so it's always a pleasant surprise! The first thing that struck me at first quick listen, is that Keith has yet again managed to stay true to his signature style, by cleverly using modern sounds, without adapting it to the extent that he alienates his fans that have been down with or even loved his music since day one. So, if you're 18+ years old and don't mind some good-quality, soulful balladry to accompany your "sexy time", this might even appeal to you too.
BUT! It can have side-effects! If your parents hate your girlfriend/boyfriend's guts, but suddenly barge into your room with cookies, because they expected you to be doing your homework together instead, then don't be surprised if your Mum shouts "Hold on - is that Keith Sweat playin'??! Ooooh looooorrrd!! I luuuurrrve me some Keith!!!", slow-dances with your Dad for a minute, talking about when they first met until the song finishes, acting like a total cock-block. But then be prepared for the consequences...
Swiftly moving on....like most of his releases, the album consists of 90% grown'n'sexy slow jams. All good stuff. But "I'm The One You Want", a mid-tempo piece of R&B feel-good niceness, which interpolates the immortal 1987 Surface classic "Happy", was definitely the stand-out cut for me. Something to ride out and mack to in the whip on a warm Summer evening. Enjoy!
RATING: 9/10
