Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars The strongest in the series.......2006-12-11

Smooth Grooves: New Jack Ballads, Vol. 2 is the strongest of the series in my opinion. Two songs alone make this song very strong. Games by the very underrated Chuckii Booker (which T.I. should have sampled for his huge hit Why U Wanna ) and I Want My Girl by Jesse Johnson. Like its predecessor, Smooth Grooves: New Jack Ballads, Vol. 2 leans toward conventional urban R&B from the late '80s and early '90s instead of the hip-hop-inflected contemporary R&B that came to define new jack R&B. Even if the music on Vol. 2 isn't strictly new jack R&B, it's nevertheless first-rate urban soul, one of the best, most comprehensive discs of its kind on the market, featuring such hits as Guy's "Piece of My Love," Ready for the World's "Tonight," Force MDs' "Tender Love," Al B. Sure's "Nite and Day," After 7's "Ready or Not," Club Nouveau's "Heavy on My Mind" and Miki Howard & Gerald Levert's "That's What Love Is."

4 out of 5 stars One of best New Jack compilations assembled!!.......2004-02-25

The other two compilations in this series, Vols. 1 & 3, are very disappointing. This is one of best CDs to purchase if you want to learn more about the great period of Black music that is known as New Jack Swing. This CD makes you think back to a time where R&B music was actually tolerable. I hate to listen to the radio today because of all the thrown together crap that is played all day long. If you enjoy real R&B, definitely pick this one up!
