Keith Sweat | Ridin’ Solo

Ten years ago, in his album Didn’t See Me Coming, Keith Sweat told us he would trade a million bucks for someone’s love that doesn’t have a price. Ten years later, the grown and sexy man who promised to give all his love to us is back with his tenth studio album Ridin’ Solo (Kedar Entertainment).

The highly anticipated album features twelve tracks beginning with Famous that adapts the current and maybe slightly annoying trend of auto-tune. Fortunately for those who have been praying for the death of autotune, there is not too much of it. Sweat is joined by R&B Singer Joe in his first single Test Drive, a song that promises to draw the attention of both old and new fans of both artists.

It is in the song Ridin Solo that Keith bears his heart out. He confesses it took him a while to figure it out but now he knows what love is all about. Tired of riding solo, he needs a girl to call his own.   Well if there are sexy and talented men like Keith Sweat still single, why are single women like me still looking for love? Hill Harper, can you keep this conversation going?

Is this album by Keith Sweat at his absolute best? It depends on who is listening. Auto-tune is not for every artist, him being one. However, it is still a must buy album with plenty of songs to love. There are generations that were conceived to his music and there are plenty more to come.
