Weekend (Kenny Lattimore Album)
''Weekend'' is the third studio album of American singer Kenny Lattimore. It was released by Arista Records on October 9, 2001 in the United States. It marked Lattimore's first album with the label, following his transition from Columbia Records. Biography ''Weekend'' signified a new direction for Lattimore upon its release in 2001. Rather than progress further into the introspective soul territory of the critically acclaimed previous release ''From the Soul of Man'', ''Weekend'' embraced a trendier modern-R&B sound. One reviewer observes, "On ''Weekend'', he delivers an 11-track collection that alternately percolates and simmers, showing the young singer is equally at home whether he's pumping out a party jam or serenading a lover with a passionate ballad." This new album for a new record label enlisted the help of newer producers like The Characters (Troy Taylor & Charles Farrar), Raphael Saadiq (of Tony! Toni! Tone! fame), and G-funk pioneer Battlecat (producer), Battlecat. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Kelly and found tracks like "Love of My Life" and "Shine" containing influences of "late '70s Stevie Wonder-style soul." He concluded that, "Case is no dusty retro-soulstar, though. Draped ...
