Product Information

Rapture album Product Description

From the opening piano chords of `Sweet Love', you know there is a good song coming. Ex-Chapter 8 vocalist Baker has an effortless delivery that swoops and dips like a swallow. `Sweet Love' is just one of those soul songs that people who say they don't like soul music like. The choice of material is superb, and heart-tugging songs such as David Lasley's `You Bring Me Joy' or Ken Hirsch and Marti Sharron's `No One In The World' are only beaten by Baker's voice. The slower material is stronger and only `Watch Your Step' and `Same Ole Love' fail to hit the spot, simply because of the mood the other tracks set. Live Recording Personnel includes: Anita Baker (vocals); Greg Phillingaines (keyboards); Paulinho Da Costa (percussion). Rolling Stone - #36 in Rolling Stone's "100 Greatest Albums Of The 80s" survey.

Absolutly stunning
wonderful music wonderful songs wonderful soul. Anita Baker hit big with this cd after departing with her band of Chapter 8. She's obviously much better as a solo act. I love every song on this album, except "Watch Your Step." But everything else is stunning!

Impeccable!
This is the R&B "songstress" in what is arguably her greatest recording ever. This is the one that put Anita Baker on the map. The only song that isn't perfection here is the very last one. Other than that this is play-through affair. Her delivery and heart felt lyrics are just as timeless now as they were back in 1986. This is easily one of the greatest albums of all time from any artist and any type of music. A true landmark and must have to and R&B aficionado.

Her Best!
Only Baker CD that made my personal top 100 from a large CD collection. Next time you go to the beach, listen to this one while relaxing and looking at the ocean. Bet you will understand what I mean. What a soothing CD! If Baker ever comes back into music, as long as she attempts to duplicate the effect of "Rapture", she may fall short but will still be sucuccessful.
