Back in 1990, only 10 years on, the first time we re-released it on disc in Britain [on Rykodisc], it didn’t seem that important to dig up all the rest...

The second, Nothing but Your Love, had its second single, Masquerade, released in early March. To lend a little more verve to his R. and B., he has roped in some heavyweight collaborators, such as Pras, The Roots, Angie Stone and Raphael Saadiq.
