A work that freely moves between funk, jazz, and pop, this is a symbol of the early days of Marcus Miller's solo career.
Marcus Miller showcases not only his exceptional bass playing skills, but also his talents as a composer, arranger, and vocalist. The title track, "Suddenly," is a signature track that exudes urban sophistication, with a mellow melody and groovy rhythm intertwined in an exquisite way. The album's structure, which effortlessly shifts between funk and soul elements, is impressive throughout, and tracks like "Lovin' You" and "Just for You" boast a beautifully balanced blend of vocals and bass. With a touch of early '80s AOR, this highly polished album combines Miller's intuition as a producer with his technique as a performer. It's the starting point for a clear musical direction that would guide his later career.
