Jody Watley With Eric B & Rakim - Friends
Review by Gustavo Delgadillo
Friends by Jody Watley with Eric B & Rakim is a classic album that combines the soulful vocals of Watley with the smooth and intricate rhymes of Eric B & Rakim. The album features a variety of styles, from the upbeat and funky title track "Friends" to the more introspective "I'm the One You Need." The standout track on the album is undoubtedly "Real Love," which showcases Watley's powerhouse vocals and Eric B & Rakim's impeccable production skills. The album's production is top-notch, with lush, layered arrangements and crisp beats that never overpower Watley's vocals. Friends is a must-listen for fans of '80s R&B and hip-hop, and a testament to the talent and creativity of Jody Watley and Eric B & Rakim.
