5.0 out of 5 stars The One That Started it All... September 28, 2002

By The Groove

Format:Audio CD

This is the debut album from Faith Evans. Hailed as the First Lady of Sean Combs' Bad Boy label, Evans is blessed with a voice that elevates her above much of her cookie-cutter, hip hop soul peers. It'd be easy to dismiss her debut as a collection of flash-in-the-pan, trendy r&b, but the album is far better--and deeper--than you think. From start to finish, the album soars as a solid album of street-savvy soul, and remains surprisingly consistent. Evans pulls it off well in the mid-tempo "No Other Love;" she holds her own against Mary J. Blige in their cover of "Love Don't Live Here Anymore," and she shines in the funked-up "You Used to Love Me." But the song that helps "Faith" earn its 5 stars is the killer ballad "Reasons," a sap-free love song in which Evans gives nothing less than her 100%. Some female singers have the looks; others wear the clothes, and some have the right producers. But Evans has the voice, which is good enough to help make "Faith" a solid, winning debut.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Contempory Timeless Classic January 10, 2005

By R. Blanton

Format:Audio CD

This album is so amazing from beginning to end. Like another reviewer stated, this album is almost 10 years old and you can pick up this cd and play it like it was just released. It is rare that an album is so strong all the way down to the last song on the cd. My favorites are Love Don't Live Here ANymore, Reasons, Don't Be Afraid, YOu DOn't Understand, Used to Love Me, and Come Over. There is nothing I would change about this album. If you don't have this cd in your collection please pick it up!

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic October 10, 1999

By A Customer

Format:Audio CD

Faith's debut album changed my life and is the sole reason I was inspired enough to become a singer. Her voice is just BEAUTIFUL, and the fact that she wrote all the lyrics on this album make it all the more personal. When I first heard 'You used to love me' back in '95 i fell in love with Ms.Evans vocals and beautifully crafted songs. Personal faves include 'give it to me' 'all this love' 'don't be afraid'and reasons. In fact i'm lying - personal faves include THE WHOLE DAMN ALBUM! This album is a classic. And her new one is too! God bless ya Faith! 'I never knew there was a love like this before' when it came to music. Faith showed me that there can be.
