What the Critics Say
Seeking the appeal he enjoyed while signed to Motown, El DeBarge released his second project under the WEA family. In contrast to many of his projects DeBarge gives the producer's chair on most selections to several industry veterans, including prolific songwriter and producer Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds. The release from this project was "Can't Get Enough." The soft, yet danceable track, is seasoned around Babyface's trademark rhythm arrangement, placing DeBarge back on the Billboard R&B chart at number 21; the single's provocative video did not hurt either. He followed with the duet "Where Is My Love?," featuring Babyface, a simmering ballad that heats up through each chorus, climaxing after a romantic rap by DeBarge. "Slide," produced by Jermaine Dupri, is an urban-funk sampled track paced by a smacking snare drum. The single cracked the Top 40 at number 36. The final release from the album was "Where You Are," a melodious, rhythmic track featuring Babyface on background vocals and a stimulating harmonica solo by Stevie Wonder. After only five weeks on the charts, it fizzled at number 86. Nonetheless, it is one of the better songs on this project. DeBarge also includes a very inspirational number in the title track. Still strongly influenced by Marvin Gaye, this number is reminiscent of Gaye's arrangements, including the bass trumpet solo. ~ Craig Lytle, All Music Guide

When i heard this entire cd 5 years ago, I thought it would go thru the charts. I blame the radio stations and el debarge handlers. no way this cd is not in the top 5. I'm 53 years old and has heard a lot of music in life and this is the ultimate love tune as well as some slick beats. This cd is so good that el debarge could re-release it and if handled right ti would be in the top 5. By the way my taste in great cds include my all time favorite r&b cds, 1. what's going on-marvin gaye,2 songs in the key of life. stevie wonder, 3.off the wall, michael jackson. 4.whip appeal, baby face. 5 thriller michael jackson, ship ahoy ojays and then mind body and soul el debarge and a few others. but very strong cd no doubt.
