Welcome to part ___ of my series on the defining sounds of the 1990s - that i could tolerate. Sorry no grunge or rap.
This is another album that i haven't had for a while - the 1992 debut by R&B group Shai, If I Ever Fall In Love. For some reason, i have always liked vocal harmony - and these guy were good. i guess this album was part of my early/mid 90s brief fascination with vocal R&B. i remember going with my alleged father to a Mariners game in the Kingdome and hearing "Baby I'm Yours" blasting on a car stereo. In order for me to hear a group like Shai, they would have had to had at least a little cross-over success. i think this was probably the most successful the group ever was - mainstream. One of the problems i ultimately have with R&B is the lack of subtlety - in pop we know what they want, but they don't come out and say exactly what they want.
