Keith Sweat 'A Christmas Of Love' album

Keith Sweat, the celebrated master of the slow jam, unwraps his first-ever holiday music collection, proving there’s no one better qualified to deliver a Yuletide disc titled A CHRISTMAS OF LOVE. The R&B and soul superstar’s new album of newly recorded contemporary Christmas songs has been released on November 20, 2007 at all retail outlets and online.

The album’s nine songs spotlight the Harlem-born singer’s signature mix of smooth vocals coupled with warm, supple groove. Sweat puts his unmistakable mark on the classic “The Christmas Song,” as well as “Under The Tree,” “Once A Year” and “It’s Christmas Again”—a trio of songs Sweat cowrote. With “Point Of Christmas,” the religious artist pays tribute to the “reason for the season.”

Transitioning from Wall Street brokerage assistant to R&B heartthrob, the Harlem-born star dominated the urban landscape beginning in 1987 with his triple-platinum debut Make It Last Forever. In fact, it’s likely that the singer single-handedly and ever-so-eloquently merged the “please, baby, baby, please” style that dominated ’60s R&B with the rhythmic moaning made famous by Steve Arrington, frontman for ’70s R&B group Slave. Make It Last Forever, was the sexy backdrop to the short-lived yet monumental New Jack era, and the quadruple-platinum album continues to sell.

He hit platinum again in the ’90s with I’ll Give All My Love To You, which contained a pair of #1 smashes—the title track and his signature song, “Make You Sweat.” The album hit #1 on the R&B chart, as did Sweat’s next three albums—Keep It Comin’ (1991), Get Up On It (1994), and Keith Sweat (1996). He has sold more than 14 million records and garnered five #1 R&B albums, 15 Top 10 R&B singles, six #1 hits, four Top 5 pop singles, three multi-platinum and three platinum albums, two platinum and three gold singles, widespread critical acclaim and a rabid international following. Today, Sweat hosts his own syndicated radio show, The Sweat Hotel, in 19 markets.
