Gramophone Record
A phonograph record (also known as a gramophone record, especially in British English) or a vinyl record (for later varieties only) is an analog sound storage medium in the form of a flat disc with an inscribed, modulated spiral groove. The groove usually starts near the outside edge and ends near the center of the disc. The stored sound information is made audible by playing the record on a phonograph (or "gramophone", "turntable", or "record player"). Records have been produced in different formats with playing times ranging from a few minutes to around 30 minutes per side. For about half a century, the discs were commonly made from shellac and these records typically ran at a rotational speed of 78 rpm, giving it the nickname "78s" ("seventy-eights"). After the 1940s, "vinyl" records made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) became standard replacing the old 78s and remain so to this day; they have since been produced in various sizes and speeds, most commonly 7-inch discs pla ...

Dress To Impress (album)
''Dress to Impress'' is the thirteenth studio album by American singer Keith Sweat. It was released on July 22, 2016 by KDS Entertainment. Critical reception Andy Kellman from AllMusic found that ''Dress to Impress'' features Sweat's "best round of songs in well over a decade," focusing on "romance and emotional connection. The album sounds fresh while drawing from numerous eras, just as the '' Sweat Hotel'' playlist roams from decade to decade ..With its stream-fishing quantity of songs notwithstanding — 16 cuts, well over an hour in duration — ''Dress to Impress'' fulfills its intent." '' The Knoxville News Sentinel'' wrote that "there's nothing remotely creative about Keith Sweat's monochromatic new ''Dress to Impress'', and the veteran R&B singer sounds like he's on autopilot through most of the 16 songs. And yet despite the perfunctory feel of the music and the endless clichéd lyrics that are so obvious they could be a parody, ''Dress to Impress'' accomplishes its mis ...

Til The Morning
''Til the Morning'' is the twelfth studio album by American singer Keith Sweat. It was released by KDS Entertainment and eOne Music on November 8, 2011 in the United States. Background ''Til the Morning'' marked Sweat's first release with eOne Music. The album was originally going to be titled ''Open Invitation'', but Sweat decided to rename the project after discovering that fellow R&B singer Tyrese Gibson had already used that title for his 2011 studio album. Although there were ideas to title the album either ''Til the Morning'' or ''High as the Sun'', he ultimately chose the former. In an interview with ''YouKnowIGotSoul'', he commented: "It pretty much sums up the type of music I've done. We already know how it goes down "Til the Morning" and what that concept means. So basically I just named it ''Til the Morning'' because it just fit with the album and the songs that are on the album."

Critical reception In his review for ''Soul in Stereo'', Edward Bowser wrote that "Keith doesn't stray far from his roots utsometimes, though, the album is a little too safe ..and other times, Keith uncharacteristically stumbles out of his comfort zone." He cocluded: ""While not as stellar as Keith's '08 studio comeback '' Just Me'', ''Ridin' Solo'' will fill the void of left by current R&B artists who are more concerned with creating crappy pop songs these days." AllMusic editor Andy Kellman found that "due to a number of factors, ''Ridin Solo'' is the least significant volume of Sweat's discography ..Sweat can't be knocked for riding the Auto-Tune gravy train, not when his use of vocal effects ...

A Christmas Of Love
''A Christmas of Love'' is the ninth studio album by American singer Keith Sweat. Released by Sweat Shop Records and Rhino records on November 20, 2007, it was his first Christmas album. Critical reception AllMusic found that "Sweat knows something about contemporary R&B, and his smooth loverman sound, with just a touch of light hip-hop flavor, is all over ''Christmas of Love'' ..With the exception of "The Christmas Song," Sweat steers clear of traditional material, opting instead for narratives of romantic love placed in a holiday context such as "Be Your Santa Claus" and "Under the Tree." Sweat's singing sounds as good as it did in the '80s, and this disc should provide a soundtrack for lovers looking to generate a Yuletide spark."

Rebirth (Keith Sweat Album)
''Rebirth'' is the eighth studio album by American singer Keith Sweat. It was released by Elektra Records on August 13, 2002 in the United States. Critical reception Allmusic editor John Bush found that "it's not really a creative reawakening since he hasn't changed anything about his game. In the end, ''Rebirth'' is really just another Keith Sweat album, and it's a tribute to one of the leading soul men of the '80s and '90s that he can continue making records as smooth and as vigorous as this one 15 years down the road ..Sweat is still in great voice, and it's his personality that carries Rebirth, even when it sounds similar to his work in the past." ''Vibe Vibe, alternatively '' vibes,'' is short for ''vibration''. A "vibe" is an emotional reaction to the aura or energy felt to belong to a person, place or thing.

The single " Come and Get with Me" peaked at number 12 in the US. Follow-up " I'm Not Ready", released that same year, peaked at number 16. Critical reception Allmusic editor Michael Gallucci wrote that on ''Still in the Game'', "Sweat goes one-on-one with his audience, playing into their hearts and souls with his typically smooth-croon grandeur. It all sounds a bit familiar (as well as a bit programmed) – and the Jermaine Dupri, Erick Sermon and Too Short cameos add absolutely nothing to Sweat's sweet mix – but there's a cool sexuality in his grooves and moves."
