Debut studio album released on October 7, 1986 by Solar Records. The album peaked at #28 on the Soul Album Charts (Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums). The album was reissued in 1989 under Epic Records with a different front cover after the success of his second album Tender Lover.
My second fave after "Tender Lover". In fact, his first three albums were all very excellent. My fave tracks from here are "Mary Mack", "I Love You Babe", "Faithful", "Chivalry", and "You Make Me Feel Brand New". Some of these songs remind me of Janet's Control album. "Take Your Time" reminds me of New Edition's "Cool It Now" and the carefree nature of Madonna's True Blue album.
I'm glad they changed the original album cover. The reissue version really suits the theme of the album more.
"I Love You Babe" #8 R&B
"Lovers" #42 R&B
"Mary Mack" #29 R&B
"If We Try" #65 R&B
