Mixerr Album Reviews #1,287

This is Michael Mixerr. I will review Lorenzo Smith - Let Me Show You.

Let Me Show You is an album filled with sultry steamy love ballads and R&B slow jams perfect for a nighttime setting. The album Let Me Show You is perfect for the nighttime setting. It’s slow subtle R&B with a mild swing. New Jack Swing singer Lorenzo Smith released this album on Alpha International Records in the year of 1990. As a New Jack Swing singer, Lorenzo Smith was overlooked, under appreciated, and underrated for his time. Lorenzo Smith had pure talent.

Tic Tok reached #41 on the R&B charts in 1990. The Lorenzo Smith vocals on Tic Tok are very similar to Kenny Greene of Intro. This is grown folks music right here. Alpha International Records released a 12 inch version with different vocals than the original as well. The radio version was a more melodic passionate version.

“I can't believe it” comes laced with a funky upbeat vibe laced on top of a New Jack Swing vibe. It’s another one of Lorenzo Smith’s ballad song. “I can't believe it” is very similar to a pop song or an electronic music song you would expect to hear from the 80s. The beats of “I can't believe it” are totally funky with an upbeat vibe. The song I can't believe it should have been a single.

The album version of Angel is more melodic and settling than the radio version. Angel is another Lorenzo Smith love ballad. Angel was a perfect choice for a single to accompany this album.

I rate this album, Let Me Show You, 5/5*****!!
