Johnny Gill - Still Winning
---------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Review from allmusic.com
by Andy Kellman
Despite his activity in New Edition, LSG, and his duets with Stacy Lattisaw, it’s
hard to believe that Johnny Gill -- who has been making records since 1983 --
is on only his sixth solo album. Now on the boutique label Notifi, distributed by
Fontana, Gill nonetheless works with some of the more established names in
R&B, including Troy Taylor, Johnta Austin, Bryan-Michael Cox, and longtime
associates Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. There’s an eyebrow-raising ballad with
LSG mate Keith Sweat and Eddie Levert (father of late LSG member Gerald),
produced by the late Static Major; it’s one of the album’s highlights.
Throughout the album -- the first half especially -- an all-male array of
background and co-lead vocalists is prominent enough to make a listener
wonder if Gill has formed a new group. It’s most jarring on the title track, an
obvious and awkward attempt to fit in with mainstream R&B radio. Those who
are drawn to Gill’s ballads will find a few songs to enjoy, including the sparse
piano/falsetto number “2nd Place,” but not much is memorable, and the singer
often sounds distanced -- reflected in the album’s six sleeve photos, all of
which have him in sunglasses, looking away from the camera.
