5.0 out of 5 stars The Debut That Started it All..., September 30, 2002

By

This review is from: Kenny Lattimore (Audio CD)

At a party I attended in Brooklyn a few years ago, the television was on and it aired a video from a guy by the name of Kenny Lattimore. The name of the song was "Never Too Busy." There was something about it (well, a LOT of things, actually) that grabbed my attention: the classy production, Lattimore's honey-smooth voice, and the cliche-free lyrics. The video had me take a mental note to grab his debut, which far from disappointed me. Living up to the promise of "Never Too Busy," Lattimore's debut is a crisp, clean slice of soul that smartly shuns the gloss and overproduction you'd find in radio today. To be sure, this isn't an album that boasts a list of trendy producers, and not all of the songs will grab you instantly. But its modesty and Lattimore's voice (which never overemotes or goes overboard in delivery) make this CD worth the trip. There's the excellent ballad and hit single "For You," the Teddy Pendegrass-sampled "I Won't Let You Down," and the genuine mea culpa "Forgiveness." This is ultra-suave soul for the mature listener who's not looking for instant-gratification beats or showoffy vocals. It's a soothing, relaxing disc that comes highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars What R&B SHOULD be..., October 23, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Kenny Lattimore (Audio CD)

When my best friend told me that this singer Kenny Lattimore had the "bomb"CD, I said, "suuure." I even listened to the CD...then promptly forgot the man even existed.... ...that was until I heard "For You" on the radio. I was, for the first time in a decade, spellbound at the radio (the first time was when I heard Anita Baker's "Sweet Love"). I then resolved that I would buy this cd...since then, it rarely leaves my CD changer. Even in my car, I'm constantly playing "For You" and the absolutely wonderful "Joy" to "Always Remember" and then to "Climb the Mountain." As someone else said, "sublime"...absolutely wonderful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Slicker than your average R&B album, October 9, 2005

Kenny's got it all - the good looks, the charm, the musical talent to write & produce and the smooth vocals. Put all of these attributes together and you end up with one fine collection of R&B tracks to make one solid album. I still listen to this album from start to finish so many years after its release and I don't get bored of it. My favourite tracks are Never Too Busy and Just What It Takes. I'm sure many babies have been made to the music on this album. This is a great CD to listen to when you're having a romantic evening indoors or when you want to listen to slow jams during a romantic drive with your mate. Enjoy.
