This was R. Kelly's first album that came out towards the end of the New Jack Swing era ('88-'92).  The first R. Kelly album I bought was his self titled album in '95 when he went solo.  So I am sort of going backwards here.  The only song I remembered was "She's got that vibe" from this album, but the rest of the songs sound very "Teddy Riley & Guy" sounding.  By no means does this mean a bad thing-I am a huge fan of Guy too.  It just means that R. Kelly's true talent & sound had not come into play yet.  It's a good start to a performer that would really shine through the '90s and be a trend setter in the world of R&B music.
