4.0 out of 5 stars I LIKE, May 23, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Horace Brown (Audio CD)

I just want to say that this is a fantastic album. I've been trying to think of a more appropriate way to say it, but I keep coming back to the same thing - It's Fantastic. I love it - it is the epitemy of what rnb should be living up to.

Everything from the lyrics (to most tracks), to the vocals, to the production. The great thing about this album is that it takes something of a bitter attitude towards love, with most of the tracks centering around a guy who loves his best friends girl; or, a guy who can't forgive his girl for cheating; or, a couple whose relationship is falling apart. Not the most exciting of topics, but the sombre lyrics suit the production style, and gives off a general mood (a dark one at that).

Top tracks include: "Why Why Why"; "How can we stop"; "Things We do for love"; "I want u babe"; "Trippin"; "Gotta Find a way"; "Let me know"; and, "I Like"

Yup, that's pretty much every track.

The only reason it misses out on 5 stars is because of tracks like "One 4 the Money" "U need a man" "Enjoy" and to a lesser extent "Taste ur Love" - they don't really fit the rest of the album top one's, but I love it nonetheless. HB come back! rnb needs u!

Thanx 4 ur time!

4.0 out of 5 stars I HOPE HORACE IS GOING TO RELEASE A NEW ALBUM, January 31, 2000

I think this was a good debut effort from Horace Brown and even if I didn't own this album I would buy it just for the tracks "Things We Do For Love","Just Let Me Know","Why,Why,Why" and "I Want You Baby".

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent album!, July 23, 2005

Why Horace Brown didn't get the push he got with this album is beyond me! This is such a soulful driven album. Horace delivers on many of the songs, including Gotta Find a Way, Things We Do For Love, Think About You (that funky Puff Daddy-produced song), and many others. The efforts from Dave Hall, Puffy, Kevin Deane and others here are some dynamically done R&B songs with shades of hip-hop beats within it. The ballads have a mellow tone to them and Horace sings them nicely. Horace was promising on this debut and why he hasn't gotten the big break he wants is beyond me.
