Still in the Game

EW's GRADE
B+

Details Lead Performance: Keith Sweat; Genre: R&B

Despite his new album's defensive title, Still in the Game, Keith Sweat shouldn't worry — his long-running career proves he's an R&B lover-man for the ages. Cameos from Snoop Dogg, Too Short, and Erick Sermon feel superfluous: Sweat's seductive burr of a voice is all he needs — when he lolls around the line ''come into my bedroom'' like molasses on the tongue, it's pure Spanish fly soul. Keep a copy of this in the boudoir. B+
