I found this CD the other night while I was looking through my collection and had to wonder what happened to these guys. On their sophomore set, this foursome blended old school soul sensibilities with mid-90's production values.

The video for the popular song on this CD, "I Can Call You," was in heavy rotation on BET in 1995, but it was not played nearly as much on radio. I like that song because it has a jazzy sound to it, and the four harmonize really well throughout the selection. Plus, I love that thumping bass line.

This CD also has some some good slow jams such as the title cut, and my favorite "Much Too Much." "Loving You is Alright" is a nice midtempo cut. Although I do like their cover of "How Deep Is Your Love," I like their original compositions more. It's not a bad cover, I just don't feel it's worth a rave. On the whole, this is solid group with a grasp of the fundamentals -- lyrics, melody and harmony. It would be a shame if this is the last we'll ever hear from them.

On the follow up to their triple plantium 1992, Portait continued to turn heads for real music listeners. Although the only features two hit singles which were How Deep Is Your Love and I Can Call You, the album features some nice ballads (which I prefer) check out Hold Me Close, Lay Your Body Down and the interlude Micheal's Mood.

Just like the previous CD. This is another one that i listen to all the way through til the end. From front to back of this CD, it is seriously on every song. Offering something a little bit different from the previous one without losing the listener and still keeping everything flowing. It sounds sappy and everything but that is how i feel about this CD. I hope folks out there are still into really good music and recognize that.

If that's the case, then get All That Matters. In the end the music is all that matters.
