Don't listen to "retro_styled_crooner"

""retro_styled_crooner" stole his/her review from allmusic.com. Living in Black Paradise is one of the more underrated new jack releases of the early '90s. Mixing new jack swing with the smoother Foster/McElroy production talent that buoyed En Vogue, it proved to be a sultry, hip set that went far beyond his "one hit wonder" status."

Has not stood the test of time

"Back in the day, I purchased the 12" version of "So you like what you see". The Teddy Riley remix was slamming. Not sure why I didn't buy the Album, but whilst I have been trying to update my collection, I came across this on Amazon and thought I'd cop it. I was extremely disappointed. I got a clue to now bad this CD was by reading the lyrics to the songs. Even then I thought 'well, it could be all about the groove'. Wrong again. 16 odd years after its release, this sounds dated, and tired. I've only given it 2 because of the afore mentioned "So you like"."
