In 1996 Keith Sweat released his self titled album and went 4x platinum at age 35...

1996 was a great year for R&B, some say it was the best year for R&B, (I would say 95) but eh

The timing of that single release (twisted), plus the video was crazy/dope, I think it was one of the hottest singles over the summer in 96

I'm not up on Keith Sweat, never really listened to him like that. Is there a particular reason you think this album sold so much better than his previous ones?

Twisted
Nobody

Were the singles

Chris brown probably could

He dropped another one in 1998, that I remember from middle school, but this is the better album.

 

[Lootha VanDraws]

Don't forget his LSG stuff was popular too...

 

[MVike28]

Album had hits... he landed some classics to the genre.

Twisted was on repeat on the radio all day in 96-97

I miss those days

Keith's pen was immaculate.

...Breh still sounded like dying donkey, though.

How did Ne-Yo fall off so hard? Lloyd?? There was room to make music even with Trey and Chris. Outside of Chris they became irrelevant for no reason like late 08 or early 09
