Personally my favorite tracks on this album are U &I, Natalie, Playing Games,Right Now and I'll Never Hurt You Again. Al B Sure snapped off on the song U & I and it my favorite song on this whole CD.
This one slipped past me and didnt know that it even existed. Al truely gets his grown & sexy on. Possitively suductive and infectious.
Al B. Sure! is an one of the artists who filled the 90's with a classic sound. Sexy Versus didn't do for him what Forever My Lady did for Jodeci. But the one song that is truly timeless is the song, "Natalie". I could listen to it now and help set the mood. The song is a ballad that brings back pleasant memories. Very intimate. But the rest of the album is dated. Sorry...
This is one CD that is old school.It Tastefulness of a good music to dance to. Back in the day of partying and a good time.Kick in the head is one and See the lady track with Heavy D. Just listen and you'll see when you get in the groove it will make U dance...................
While it doesn't stand up to "In Effect Mode", Al B.'s third release called "Sexy Verses," DOES have some very good tracks on it. I personally enjoyed nearly every track save the final one. I was in college when this release came out and I still rock to "Right Now" and "U & I" even today in my 30's. If those two aren't defining "baby making music", then I don't know what is!
"Natalie" is almost a love ode that is very good. "Kick In The Head" and "Turn You Out" were a bit ahead of its time. They would sound out of place today but I agree with another reviewer that for 1992, it was definitely in place. Again, I would say those two tracks were even AHEAD of that time period a bit! I also liked the remix of "Channel J" on this one as well renamed "See The Lady."
"Playing Games" was a heartbreaker and definitely a break up song while "I Would Die For U" is a devotional song so with those two he gives us the opposite ends of the spectrum for a relationship. The death of one but the devotion of another. I also liked "Thanks For The Great Time Last Night" but could've lived without the silly interlude prior to it.
As I said, the final track is the weakest on here but even that makes for "pass the time" music. Again, while it isn't the classic that "In Effect Mode" was, give it a chance. It'll be worth it.
