• Shrink-wrapped

Mentored by New Jack superstar Keith Sweat, five-man R&B vocal group Silk emerged from the Atlanta scene in the early '90s with a soulful, sophisticated sound that quickly propelled them to multi-platinum mastery. Blending backgrounds in gospel with a fluent sensuality and intimate delivery, Silk's smooth grooves and stellar harmonies triumphed on their 1992 debut <i>Lose Control</i>. Produced by Sweat and released on his Elektra imprint Keia, the disc spawned the #1 Pop/R&B smash "Freak Me." Three more Elektra albums - <i>Silk</i> ('95), <i>Tonight</i> ('99), and <i>Love Session</i> ('01) - continued their romantic reign, serving up a decade's worth of timeless R&B.
