Since I met you baby, Almost Lost My Mind. X, I love your taste of music.
Keith's second best album after Make It Last Forever. Still in my rotation. Great cover of Slave's "Just a Touch"
I miss r&b like this. A ;limited amount of guest appearances strategically place throughout the album. Let the lead artist shine.

Not bad. It's pretty true to the original - would of liked to see more creative interpretations/risks.
Big facts. Let the artist shine.
I'm not familiar with that album - I'll have to check it out.
I tend to agree they definitely didn't diverge much from the original. My favorite R&B group of all time, After 7, was able to achieve this on their covers. For example
Sara Smile (cover of Hall & Oates)
Baby I'm For Real (Natural High) - covered The Originals and Bloodstone on the same song!!
Its the one with "Twisted" which was one of Keith's biggest songs of his career.
This was another 80's R&B song that I loved. You can get the early New Jack Swing sound vibe, even if the song is more of a slower tempo
Force M.D.'s "Love is a House" (1987)
If you listen to the beginning of the song you'd almost swear that they copy some keyboard notes from Human League's "Human" which came out the year before. Starting at 0:19 mark.
