Editorial Reviews

True to the title of his #1 debut album, R&B superstar Keith Sweat is out to Make It Last Forever. Two decades after his initial breakthrough, Sweat’s new album Just Me more than proves he’s still the master of the slow jam, delivering deep soul grooves in the tradition of his classic hits—and sounding right in sync with 21st century R&B. Harlem-born Sweat first rose to fame at the height of the new jack swing era, and Teddy Riley, his celebrated producer from back in the day, collaborates with Sweat on the Just Me track "The Floor." Other highlights include "Butterscotch," featuring Athena Cage (who vocalized with Sweat on his #1 R&B mega-hit "Nobody"), "Love You Better" featuring Keyshia Cole, "Suga Suga Suga" with Paisley Bettis, and the album-opening "Somebody" featuring Chris "F.L.O" Conner.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not the best Keith Sweet., May 21, 2008

I was really excited when I saw this album was out. I purchased it immediately. I was anticipating classic Keith Sweat with a modern swing. He will be in concert in my area soon and I wanted my CD in hand! However, I have not been impressed. I have not been able to listen to an entire song. His voice has changed dramatically and the producers just grabbed some beats off the back shelf and dusted them off.

This album has received strong reviews. But if you really want to know if the album is good, listen to the samples. They will help you decide. I wish I would have done this first. Since I can't get my money back, I am glad the CD was on sale.

One thing is for sure, Keith still looks great! I am still a fan, just not a fan of this particular album.

Its been quite awhile since we've seen a new Keith Sweat cd.

But with Just Me the wait is over and it feels like he never left as his voice is still recognizable and solid as ever before.

Just Me has 12 tracks and each one of them could easily be a solid single release on the R&B/Pop charts. With such artists as Paisley Bettis, Keyshia Cole and Athena Cage on various songs it only serves to show how Keith continues to churn out great music for whatever purpose you like.

Songs of note on Just Me:

2. The Floor
3. Girl of My Dreams
4. Sexiest Girl
5. Butterscotch (Athena Cage)
7. Suga, Suga, Suga (Paisley Bettis) currently charted on R&B charts
9. Love You Better (Keyshia Cole)
12. Teach Me

The cd as a whole is on par with some of his earlier releases (Make It Last Forever, Keith Sweat). But make no mistake this one isn't a rehash of his earlier works each and every song here. Is something that you really need to hear and listen to as well. So make it a point of getting "Just Me" by Keith Sweat and keep supporting on the singers out their still doing music their way and very well. I might add.

I'm very impressed with this CD. I usually download my music but I had to buy this CD. I've always been a big fan of Keith Sweat. Some people did't like him because they say he whines in his music. My stand on that is if you are a true Keith Sweat fan, none of that mattered. Whining has always been his style I mean come on, isn't that what made the women hot all over? His new "Just Me" CD is straight on with alot less whining for all the haters. The first time I put it in my car I was like wow! Keith is back in full affect with this new hit just like the oldschool jams he would woo the ladies with and put the fellas in the mood. Keith is back ladies and gentlemen! Big ups!
