Anita Baker, "Rapture" - 4 stars. Hold it / Bury it.Let me start by saying that I love Anita Baker. She's a really cool chick, from everything I've ever seen, and always seems so happy to be singing. She's terrific.
And this record is a great one. Some of my favorite "traditional" R&B songs ever are here: "Caught Up In The Rapture," "Sweet Love," "You Bring Me J0y," "Been So Long." But there are a couple that I just don't listen to any more, and skip when they come up..."Mystery" and "Watch Your Step" are going to go.
I'm sorry, Anita.
