Still a dynamite R&B album to this day!!!!!!!, June 21, 2005
This review is from: Pure Soul (Audio CD)
I still remember buying this album just in time for summer in 1997 for a road trip. It does a good job compiling the best hits from 1994 to 1996. The 702 song kicks the album off with a bang! And there are some surprising numbers from Solo, Mint Condition, Boyz II Men, Sounds of Blackness, Gina Thompson, and the Maestro himself, Barry White! Jodeci's Freek N You and Johnny Gill's It's Your Body brings a seductive sexiness to the album. There is more of a hip-hop edge in a few songs, though this album came long before the current R&B/rap collaboration trend that works now. They didn't want to include rappers' own songs on these kinds of albums back then. This is probably one of the first albums to showcase Missy Elliott's first hits, long before her own rap dominance. This album still sizzles to this day and you definitely need to get it!!!!
