I threw this on a year ago and I’m sing all the words. I’m like how the hell do I know these songs. Then I remember my aunt used to play the hell out of this. She’s a Face Stan

How'd you forget How Many Ways in the OP?

It's a great album and it was worth it for LA Reid to sign her sisters with the ROI the label got back on this.

No lie, I was just randomly playing cuts off this album the other day. Like someone said in this thread, this is like the R&B Illmatic in regard to debuts in the 90’s. Monica’s first album may come close tho.

If I’m not mistaken a lot of those joints were intended for Anita Baker but she turned them
down

Yep

Babyface wrote a lot of cuts on the the album for Anita but she got pregnant and wanted to take a step back

Toni was suggested
