Before he became a huge force in r&b, r. kelly and his backing band, public announcement, released their only album together at the tailend of new jack swing. It was clear that kelly was going to be a major star, as he sung, wrote, and produced every track except "hey love". For all of his efforts, he was pleasantly rewarded, reeling off an unprecedented FIVE hit singles including the new jack staples ("she's got that vibe", "hey love"), and the flawless ballads ("slow dance", "honey love", "dedicated").
