Music Review

Waterbed Hevsal (1997)

EW's GRADE
B

Details Lead Performance: Heavy D; Genre: Hip-Hop/Rap

For almost 10 years, Heavy D has been the ''Overweight Lover'' — a cuddly, oversexed love machine. Almost every song on Waterbed Hev wraps a heartfelt, amorous greeting card around a familiar, luscious R&B hook. The catchy choruses might be just this side of bubblegum, but they also have a way of lodging themselves inside people's heads. You could build a career on that. B
