"I Want Her," Keith Sweat (1/30/88)
Today it's seen as some sort of seismic jolt, as the quote-unquote capital-F first New Jack Swing track to top the R&B chart, but taken in its context, it doesn't sound very different from its peers at all. Exciting as machine-music - and that's the key; on this track, Sweat nearly could've been a robot. That's a testament to the song's structure, mind. B
