Product Description

R&B superstars Gerald Levert, Keith Sweat, and Johnny Gill first got together as LSG in 1997 for an appropriately soulful debut record that featured an all-star guest roster from Busta Rhymes to LL Cool J and production from Jermaine Dupree and P. Diddy nee Sean "Puffy" Combs. Six years later, the threesome drops the follow-up, LSG-2, and this time, sagely,the vocal giants are more subtle, letting their gargantuan talents speak for themselves.
On LSG-2, the guest stars are few and lower-key, but memorable. Rising star rapper Loonoffers a strong turn on "Friends", the latest alteration onthe Whodini classic, and Craig T. Cooper's vocoder hook sets the sultry, funky vibe on the sexed-out "Shakedown". But for the most part LSG2 is about Levert, Sweat, and Gill doingwhat they do best, their siren songs luring listeners anywhere the dulcet-toned balladeers might desire. The three trade off vocals on one appealing track after another, complementing each other to perfection, nowhere better than on the bouncy, catchy "What About Me?" LSG2 came after a long wait, but the icons don't disappoint, as the supergroup's sophomoreeffort offers consistent sensual soul.

Customer Reviews

LSG2
This is an excellent album, L (Gerald Levert) S (Keith Sweat) G (Johnny Gill) have done it again. A combination of slow ballads and a few up-beat tracks this is the only RnB album that I have recently purchased that I can listen to all the way through without skipping any tracks. However 'Just Friends' was a bit of a disappointment but from then on in the album LSG excel. Shakedown is an excellent track with the same sort of feel as 'Round and Round' from the first album. Tracks 'Fa Free', 'All I Want', Yesterday' and 'Cant get Over You' are all very strong tracks. That leaves the last track 'Cry and Make Love' this is the best track off the album and is very reminiscent of Silk and they're style, and as a fan of Silk and Darryl 'DELITE' Allamby's work on this track is very strong. All in all an outstanding album.
