Make It Last Forever is an excellent album with no filler and it's easily Keith's best. Get it. Another faster tempo hit from it was "Something Just Ain't Right."


It's tempting to make a Keith Sweat anthology with every song from "Make It Last Forever" on it -- IMO, it was one of the best soul albums that came out in the 1980s and one of the few where every song theoretically could have been a single without some remix or other marketing promotion (like a video) to drive it.

My favorite Keith Sweat songs? "Your Love, Pt. I and Pt. II"

This is weird. I need some help with this. In the 90s I used to love Keith, Jodeci, Aaron Hall, early R Kelly, but nowadays I just never, ever listen to it, and I don't know why. It may be that I've got it all on cassette, not CD, but that explanation doesn't really cut it since I still dig out old cassettes every now and then. Maybe I've just got more sophisticated, and the cliched lyrics turn me off? Again, I don't think that's it. I think what it really is is that it's soul music made on computers. Cubase Soul. It's probably just that I miss the hands of real musicians. It's like the only soul element left by this point was the voice, but everything else was synthetic. But I still feel like I love it. I just can't seem to make myself listen to it.
