Title: G's back
Product review: Gerald Levert may be R&B's most prolific artist of the '90s, having released four solo albums, a set of duets with his dad, a disc with Keith Sweat and Johnny Gill, and multiple LeVert titles. G, his fourth solo album, was supposed to arrive in 1999, but the cool reception to "Nothin to Somethin" took him back into the studio. Let's hope the retooling brings him a hit because this album deserves it. Gerald's music has deepened over time, and ballads "She Done Been," "Second Time Around," "Baby You Are" and "Misery" are first-rate soul, echoing at times the best work of Womack & Womack (think of Teddy Pendergrass' "Love TKO"). The first three songs pair him with Darrell Allamby, producer of a choppy contemporary sound, but even these cuts fit with the rest of the album, which Levert co-wrote and produced. Highly recommended.
