and this could be for a number of reasons, but the main one being, to my mind the utter depths that the R&B world has sunk to in the 00s. I like many purchased this in the wake of his great CD (but not his debut) Johnny Gill. Like that CD, Jimmy... (Read full review at Amazon)

Provocative (the track), though not a hit, opens up the album well with dance energy and convinces you that you should keep listening. When The Floor comes, though, it's a shattering monster jam that will make an earthquake with people dancing.... (Read full review at Amazon)

While there is no song in the universe as beautiful and as sexy as My My My, this is a fantastic effort for the next cd. The best song on here is Cute Sweet Love Addiction. I love it - it is cool and upbeat and basically just fun. The Floor was... (Read full review at Amazon)

This album is good, but lacks the excitement of Johnny Gill from 1990. I liked the stomping feel of The Floor, the funky I Got You with Boyz II Men and the rapidly paced song Provocative. But my favorite is the ballad Tell Me How U Want It, which... (Read full review at Amazon)

Johnny Gill has always been best at ballads and is easily regarded as one of the best balladers of all time. His follow up to his 1990 CD didn't impress me as much but he's in top form on track 6-10 where his smooth vocals and amazing range are... (Read full review at Amazon)

| Provocative Full Description |
 |
Of the six young men who have been part of the New Edition, Washington, D.C.-native Johnny Gill has far and away the best voice. And 1990's Johnny Gill is still the best album anyone connected with the New Edition has ever made. Provocative revisits the formula of that triumph--handing over the creative responsibilities once again to the two hottest songwriter/producer teams in R&B, the macho Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis and the romantic L.A. Reid and Babyface. This time, though, we get the formula instead of the triumph. All the pieces are there--the roof-rattling vocals, the industrial-strength beats, and the sumptuous synth harmonies--but there's no sense of a personality behind the machinery. Gill proves that he can growl and shout in sync with the slamming beats like any neo-disco-man, but Lewis's lyrics sound like the lines that single men on the prowl serve up in bars, and there's nothing in Gill's vocal to indicate that the words are anything but a line. Gill is still an impressive singer. "I Got You," written, produced, and sung by Boyz II Men, is blessed with appealing melodies and lush harmony singing, and "Long Way from Home" by L.A. Reid and Babyface is a truly romantic song that finds Gill finally opening up his heart to reassure a distant lover. He'll have to do that far more often if he wants to create the great soul music his voice makes possible. --Geoffrey Himes |
