It was just 2 years prior to this release that the Mac Band basked in the success of their number one single "Roses Are Red," produced by Antonio "L.A." Reid and Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds. However, this project fell short of its predecessor. The majority of this collection was produced by the seasoned veteran Gary Taylor, and it consists mostly of midtempo rhythms featuring the Billboard R&B Top 30 single "Someone to Love," and the Top 60 single "Love U 2 the Limit." Both numbers feature Derrick McCampbell's lead vocals. The former is a moderately paced single with a looping chorus hook and a made-for-the-dancefloor rhythm which peaked at #27 after 12 weeks, while the latter is a simmering, mellower cut in which McCampbell's tenor amplifies with fervor. Peaking at #52 after 12 weeks on the charts, this does not reflect the single's credibility. The remaining tracks are consistent with the project's two releases.
