Helpless

This five man team founded by triple threat producer, artist and writer Keith Sweat, Silk's debut Lose Control would sure to incorporate Sweat's formula with a touch of harmony. Eight of the ten songs were written and or co-written by Keith Sweat and he held down the project's production either single handedly or with some help. "Interlude" is a great opener for this LP with the simple phrase "...baby, don't stop..." that welcomes the listener to the ride. With the overly used James Brown "The Payback" may sound as if it would not be a good idea, but used on "Happy Days" had the bounce, swing and groove for repeats. Featuring Gerald and Sean Levert on "Don't Keep Me Waiting" is overall simple in the production scheme aspect. The gem is hidden with the various vocalists' textures and tones that make this hard to overlook. Slowing down on "Girl U For Me" even has Keith Sweat aiding to benefit on the ad-libs and background vocals for the mood setting. Taking the extreme sexual connotations to drive "Freak Me" will not have you saying stop. "Baby It's You" has a mid-tempo flavor that has the elements of crowd movers that could get them going. Silk's talents become apparent in the last lap where first comes the title track. With the delayed drum kick and mostly keyboard / piano laced track was subtle yet strong enough to tailor to the again multi-vocal ranges. Keeping the fire going, "It Had To Be You" isn't as memorable as the title track but can still hold its own with the colorful harmony. "I Gave To You" says all that you may be thinking and feeling while involving yourself with anyone without any compromises. In short, play Lose Control and watch what could happen! July 17, 2006

Freak Me Baby...

Silk had an indescribable knack for creating baby making jams. They just did it better than most people coming out at the time and that made them stand out. The title track Lose Control epitomizes this group. Slow, sensual, and romantic type music. They had other hits (Freak Me and It Hat To Be You) and albums but this is the main release that you will need from them as it is their best and contains their best songs. Great 90's R&B!

Why you should buy this CD.....

Looking back at all the CD's that came out in the early 90's, I'd say Silk's "Lose Control" is one of the few that has stood the test of time. The whole CD is worth listening to. Silk is not like H-Town or Jodeci, where you buy the CD for the singles and ignore the rest of the CD, which is essentially filler. Also, Silk's style is true to their name: their soul is smooth, not whiny, like the direction a lot of New Jack groups took.

My personal favorites are "Happy Days", "Girl U for Me", "Freak Me", which is sensual without being tasteless, and "Lose Control". February 20, 2004
