In My Songs (2007)

In My Songs would have been a solid addition to the soulful teddy bear's 15-year solo catalog even if he hadn't passed away at age 40 after recording it last year. His satin-smooth voice shines on the slow jams that dominate the 12-song set, as well as on a few well-executed nods to more up-tempo club vibes (''Fall Back,'' ''What Cha Think About That''); many of his lyrics are about seduction, but they never cross the line into sleaze. It's hard to imagine a more fitting memorial to Levert's too-short life.
