Title: Good R&B debut that improves with each listen
Review: Very strong debut for Elliott. Most everyone is familiar with his voice, which comes through on the album clear, sonorous, and without muddying his wonderfully slight rasp.The songs are ok, but not stellar. There are a handful of strong numbers, but even the mediocre tunes are interesting due to Elliott's earnest and soulful singing. The arrangements are tasteful and the album sequence is well balanced. The producers knew when to pour it on, and when to pull back.Overall, unless you are allergic to R&B;, get this CD. It is a nice music package that won't sound like anything else in your collection, and though I have heard better songs, this one will improve with repeated listens.
