Pleasures U Like

Details Lead Performance: Jon B; Genre: R&B

As Marvin Gaye discovered in the '70s, the right blend of intimacy and titillating sex grooves can create the sweetest aural potions. R&B crooner, songwriter, and producer Jon B masters that recipe on Pleasures U Like, his follow-up to 1997's Cool Relax. Teaming up with Nas on the mid-tempo ''Finer Things'' and with mentor Babyface for the melancholy ''Lonely Girl,'' the newlywed hits the bull's-eye with his beautiful love songs. A soulful smorgasbord.
