"I'm Ready"
(Qwest/Warner Bros)
This kid was the golden child of R&B in the early 90s. Co-signed by both PRINCE (Prince!) and QUINCY JONES (The Q!), Tevin Campbell's new jack-esque pop debut, "T.E.V.I.N." spawned a hit single in "Round in Round," which was also used in the "Graffiti Bridge" soundtrack. Campbell's sophomore album, "I'm Ready" was much stronger and a bit more on the personal side.
Personally, I think it's one of the best R&B albums of the 90s -- it's earnest and introspective lyrics was a stark contrast to R. Kelly, Silk and the other oversexed male figures in the urban music market. Even though the guy has gone onto largely work on Broadway or get arrested for soliciting sex from an undercover cop, you can't deny how great this record is.
Labels: Prince, Quincy Jones, R and B, Soul, Tevin Campbell
