"The first time I heard Melvin Riley sing was 'Yo that's a lot of Body' with Ready For The World. It just blew me away!!! So when he released this solo album I had to have it. Believe me I was blown away again!! If you like slow, smooth r'n'b (ie: Silk, Troop) then this is the album for you. Melvin has a very sexy voice that just is made for smoove r'n'b. I must admit I do think the few uptempo tracks on the album are the weak link, but the production on the slow tunes more than makes up for it. The only complaint that I have, is about the lack of airplay and publicity Melvin recieves. He has released a new album this year 'Bedroom Stories' which I had difficulty tracking down. But when I did I was not disappointed. The advice I can give to potential puchasers is: Run a bath, light some candles, chill some wine, put Melvin in your CD player.....and CHILL!! KEEP THE ALBUMS COMING MELVIN!"

"This was another one of my favorite cds too. I mean I listen to music but this caught my ear and didnt let go. This brother didnt need RFTW. Form I'm All In to Ghetto Love it was all good. When I lived in California this cd wasnt played enough or we didnt hear it on the radio. Did the brother get any love for such a well put together cd? He should get everything good that comes his way but dont stop making good music. Ihave read the reviews for the latest but I havent gotten the cd yet. When I do I will let you know what I think. Ghetto Love say it again!"
