For a debut album, you would think Slim had a lot more practice as a solo artist. He proves on this one that he can do good all by himself. This is a solid album that I actually prefer to most of the 112 group efforts. It feels kinda like what i wish Lloyd would do more of, but he's on a whole other somethin. The album ranges in styles from more upbeat, party music with the hit single "So Fly" to more classic R&B tracks like "Sweet Baby". He, like many of the newer R&B artists, works well with rappers and can create some very catchy, crossover songs that seem to be eating up the radio play these days. The not so favorable duet with Faith Evans is largely ruined by an annoying electric guitar solo. He gets very adult-oriented on "Heels On" and "Bedtime Story" and keeps it fun on tracks like "Don't Say It", "She Got That", "Good Lovin", and the title track, among others. The album lacks a real slow jam and the closest probably comes on "U Got Me (Addicted)". It's a fun cd with some really good production that came together well.
8.5/10
