His fourth album under the Epic banner, and Luther Vandross still retains that freshness that is fulfilling to his audience and rightly so.
This album spawned four Billboard R&B singles in "'Til My Baby Comes Home," "It's Over Now," "Wait for Love," and "If Only for One Night." However, as superb as these songs are, any one of the remaining selections could have achieved comparable chart status.
For starters, "The Other Side of the World" has that suspenseful rhythm and engaging lyric; "My Sensitivity" has a balmy arrangement enhanced with a bashful, yet mature, lyric.
As for the title track and the remake of the Stevie Wonder classic "Creepin'," Vandross is witty with his vocal stylings.
"If Only for One Night" was also a remake; it was written by Brenda Russell and covered by both her and Roberta Flack.
The production skills of Vandross are commendable as he exhibits patience and acumen to know his boundaries.
