Jacci McGhee first showed up in
1989 on the smash Keith Sweat single
“Make It Last Forever,” and fans have
been waiting for her to drop an LP
every since.
Well, the wait is over and the new
Jacci McGhee album has arrived with
much fanfare.
The self-titled LP opens up with
“Something On My Mind,” which is
not a very good song. It’s somewhat
flat and it doesn’t have any flare.
“It Hurts Me” is a tunc that features
; Keith Sweat. The pair seems to be a
winning combination when they hook
up together. This song is one of the
better ones on the LP.
Jacci McGhee attempts to kick her
album into high gear with “Skeeza,”
an up-tempo, funky cut that McGhee
is able to jump on, but comes across to
the listener as flat. At the beginning of
this song it has the makings of a
winner, but as the song continues,
something seems to be missing.
“What Are You Gonna Do” and
“The Other Woman” are tunes that
McGhee jumps on, and they appeal to
the listener. These tunes get the atten
tion of the listener and gel the job
done.
By far the best tune that Jacci *
McGhee has to offer is a remake of
Roberta Flack’s “The Closer I Get To
You,” a sultry duet sang with John
James. On this cut McGhee’s talent is
on display. James complements
McGhee and this duet works well.
One of the downfalls of the disc is
that there are some songs that are not
very good. McGhee suffers at times
from inconsistency.
She also has a distinct voice that
may take some getting use to. It has a

sassy twang to it that might make the
listener apprehensive at first.
Overall this is a good first effort
from McGhee. She shows a lot of
promise and proves that her 1989
debut with Keith Sweat was no fluke.
With time her inconsistencies
should give way to better quality
music.
There are 10 songs on this LP.
Thatgives the listener ampleopportu
nity to judge for themselves whether
this is a safe purchase.
Just a word of advice: If you pur
chase this LP, listen to it a time or two
before you pass judgment. This is the
type of LP that definitely must grow
on you.
