"Addicted to You," Levert (10/1/88)
With production very similar to, though not quite as good as, the record which followed it at #1, and a better singer on the lead (leader Gerald Levert), why does this fall a bit flat(ter)? A couple of reasons: while the production is actually pretty damn hot, it's not quite as dynamic as what came after; the singer, while better, isn't as charisma-laden as his competition; and the song's just not quite as good. That production's worth hearing, however - hop over here and jump to the 4:16 mark for a spin through the 12". B+
