This is Michael Mixerr. Tonight I am going to review the overlooked Renee Anderson album on MCA Records from 1997. DeVante Swing of Jodeci was the main executive producer for her album. Regi Moore was the main producer for her debut album. Static Major did feature as a guest artist.
[This album was not officially released by MCA Records or Swing Mob Records as it was only released on CD format as a promo album to radio stations in the Rochester, New York area. I hope I cleared this as the reason why I am reviewing this album.]
The reason for that is because Renee Anderson was supposed to release her debut album on Swing Mob Records/MCA Records in 1997 but what DeVante Swing wanted to do was have sex with Renee Anderson and she told him no as she was legally a minor. (Renee Anderson was only 16 at the time.) So DeVante Swing was angered by this and set the copies of the master reels of her debut album on fire. DeVante had burned any remaining copies of Renee's debut album making it impossible to find. Thus eventually led to DeVante having an extremely violent meltdown. (DeVante was really strung out on hazardous drugs during this period.) After that Renee left DeVante later that fateful night. This incident led Renee Anderson to leave the music business for good!
(What DeVante Swing wanted to do would constitute as sexual abuse of a minor, underage sex, rape, and sexual assault. To sum it all up, DeVante Swing wanted Renee Anderson to sleep with him.)
Enough of the personal drama and celebrity gossip! On with the album review!
On Gonna Be Your Night, Renee Anderson has an alto voice similar to Gina Thompson. The bass and drums really add into the effect of Renee's alto voice. Gonna Be Your Night is a good song to listen to during the twilight of the night.
Wind was a calm smooth soothing soul ballad that Tweet would partake in. The wind and low-pitch keynotes set a monotone vibe for the whole track. All of the Wind track is mellow and calm.
I rate this album, Renee Anderson, 4/5****.
