Description:

Al B. Sure! could be heard on the airwaves and seen on cruise ships, but as a recording artist, he was missing in action for over 15 years, until he signed with Hidden Beach and recorded HONEY I`M HOME with longtime collaborator Kyle West. He was never completely out of the picture, at least not throughout the majority of the `90s, as he wrote and produced for the likes of Jodeci, H-Town, Usher, and Johnny Gill, but most casual R&B followers assumed he just slid off the map. HONEY I`M HOME certainly does not sound rusty--it could be the singer`s tenth album as easily as it is his fourth, with his voice (particularly the falsetto) in fine condition. It`s not atypical for a Hidden Beach release either, grounded in subtle and relaxed productions, and Al B. tends to stick to mature "grown folks R&B" lyrical themes. Reverent, deeply impassioned covers of Michael Jackson`s "Lady in My Life" and Sting`s "Fragile" (practically a standard at this point) help emphasize that orientation.
