Great Album

"I'm surprised that people who bought Keith Sweat's "Keep It Coming" CD, haven't been here to comment. This is a great albums. The albums first 2 singles, "Live & Learn" & "I Miss You" are my standout favorites. But, Joe Public are a talented bunch of guys. No wonder Keith Sweat tapped them for his album and for his backing band for his tour. If you are a fan of producer/singer-groups like Portrait, this album is a must-have."
Great 90s New Jack sound

"I used to listen to this CD back when it was originally released in 1992 and loved it! "Live and Learn" was the big hit single at the time. I think I sold it, but I've been checking for it on Rhapsody for the last few years. Well, it's finally available there and I now realize what made this album so unique: it's got some GREAT early 90s beats and grooves, excellent R&B/jazz guitar riffs, and very cool vocal harmonies. The raps and lyrics are pretty typical for R&B of the period (they're actually pretty funny). There's also a lot of sampling. The sound is very similar to Bell Biv Devoe, or any of the New Jack Swing groups.
If you want to take a little trip back to 1992, this will do it.
