A striking debut album that makes a statement with its exquisite harmonies and sophisticated R&B
This debut album by Blackstreet, led by Teddy Riley, inherits the flow of New Jack Swing while fusing intricate harmonies with a sophisticated R&B sound.
Teddy Riley participated in this album not only as a producer but also as a member, and it seamlessly blended hip-hop rhythms with melody-driven R&B. Their signature song, "Before I Let You Go," reached No. 7 on the US charts and No. 2 on the R&B charts, solidifying the group's early success. The debut lineup included Teddy Riley, Chauncey Hannibal, Levi Little, and Dave Hollister, whose diverse vocal talents added depth to the album. This album laid the foundation for the band's significant position in '90s R&B.
