Product Description

Gerald LeVert finished working on In My Songs prior to passing away in November 2006. He was only 40, and the cause of his death — a lethal combination of prescription and over-the-counter drugs taken for his number of ailments — is a real shame, made all the more sad because it was an accident. Needless to say, he had a lot left to give, and if there's any indicator of that, it's this album, which sits with his first three solo albums and 2004's Do I Speak for the World as one of his best. Produced entirely by LeVert and longtime associate Edwin Nicholas, the album delivers almost exactly what any fan expects. There's something for every mood, and it's a plus that there are no guest appearances to get in the way. If there is a surprise, it's that the midtempo club cuts ("DJ Don't," "Wanna Get Up with You") and stately testimonies ("What Cha Think About That," "M'Lady") either match or beat the mostly just-fine ballads. It's too bad LeVert never made an outright classic album, but several strong albums and piles of hit singles, not to mention all the work with LeVert and LSG, amounts to a great legacy ~ Andy Kellman, All Music Guide

素晴らしい1枚、正に2007年度のＮｏ.1．これだけの内容をファンに提示し、遺作とは。。。残念、残念、残念でなりません。ビルボード1位も当然ながら、全てのＲ＆Ｂファンに是非聞いて欲しい。

これだけの傑作アルバムを作って、遺作とは。。。1曲目のスロー、IN MY SONGS、今聞いては美しくも、とても儚い、それに続く2～4曲目のミディアム、ダはンスナンバーの密度の濃さに圧倒され、8曲目 SWEETER まさに名曲！！等々、聞き所盛りだくさんの内容。。。90年代以降のR＆B界を牽引してくれたMRテディベアは永遠です。合掌。

DO I SPEAK…が楽曲、編曲、ｻｳﾝﾄﾞの全てにおいてかなり充実した意欲作だったので、次回は悩みどころでは？って思ってたけど、そんな心配は無用、やってくれました今回も！最高です！（しかしこれで最後は悲しすぎますが…）まるでGERALD'S WORLD２ともいうべきで、氏しか書けないｿｳﾙﾐｭｰｼﾞｯｸを贅沢に披露してくれてます！恐らく氏もこのｱﾙﾊﾞﾑのﾍﾋﾞｰﾘｽﾅｰでありたいと思って作ったんじゃないかな？とにかく良質なので是非ご賞味あれ！
