Powell doesn't provide anything for the dancefloor – most of the time, he gets ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

KW (album)
''KW'' is the third and most recent studio album by American singer Keith Washington. It was released by Silas Records on March 10, 1998. His debut and only album with the label, it reached number 27 on the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. Critical reception In his review for AllMusic, editor Alex Henderson felt that "containing mostly ballads and slow jams, the CD is very much in the late '90s neo-soul vein – the production is high-tech and hip-hop-ish, but the singing is classic R&B. Washington often brings to mind Alexander O'Neal, and he also shows an awareness of Luther Vandross and Freddie Jackson. A few of the tracks are excellent ..most of the other material, however, is decent, although not remarkable. But while ''KW'' isn't the all-out gem that Washington is quite capable of providing, it was still nice to see him recording again." ''Billboard'' found that with ''KW'' "Washington brings his no-nonsense ballads and think-on-it, midtempo tracks to the table ..It will ...
