Miles Jaye Albums (7)
What The Critics Say
Miles Jaye had late-'80s R&B hits on Island with "Let's Start Love Over," "I've Been a Fool for You," "Objective," and "Heaven." On Odyssey, the Brooklyn-born singer stays in the same vein that is akin to Teddy Pendergrass and Will Downing. Though Jaye plays most of the music, it's when he's joined on tracks by such top talent as Bobby Wooten and others that prove to be the album's cornerstones. Of particular note is "Man on a Corner," which conjures up a forlorn Southern soul vibe somewhat similar to Brook Benton's "Rainy Night in Georgia." Other highlights are "Step by Step," "Marry Me," and his cover of the Skylark/New Birth standard "Wildflower." ~ Ed Hogan, All Music Guide
What The Critics Say
Miles Jaye's third album got him another sizable hit with the single "Sensuous" and solidified his appeal as one of the prime romantic balladeers among recent urban contemporary artists. Unfortunately, Jaye didn't get enough sustained reaction from this album, and soon found himself dislodged by Keith Washington, Keith Sweat, and a host of others. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide
What The Critics Say
Former Village People vocalist Miles Jaye found success on the late '80s urban contemporary and slick soul market with his albums of carefully paced, well produced and orchestrated ballads and midtempo tunes. He landed three chart singles from this album, his second on Island, and was featured on a couple of high-profile tours during 1989. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide
What The Critics Say
Miles Jaye debuted on Island as a solo artist and quickly made a sizable impact, scoring two Top 10 R&B hits and becoming the heartthrob of the moment for the female contingent of the urban contemporary audience. He took advantage of the newly found stardom, starting the first of what would be several extensive tours in both indoor and outdoor arenas in the late '80s. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide
