Do Me Again (album) explained
Do Me Again is the fourth studio album by American singer Freddie Jackson, released by Capitol Records in 1990.[1] [2] The album became Jackson's fourth consecutive effort to top the Billboard Top R&B Albums chart, and went gold in the US.
Critical reception
The Boston Globe wrote that "once again, Freddie Jackson gently massages our earlobes with several highly suggestive ditties that would make Barry White blush."[3] Ebony deemed the album "steamy" and "a musical feast."[4] The Baltimore Sun wrote that "where [Luther] Vandross likes to power through his love songs, Jackson invariably takes a lighter touch, and that's what makes his Do Me Again worth replaying."[5]
The Rolling Stone Album Guide called Do Me Again Jackson's best album since his debut, giving much of the credit to the return of mentor Paul Laurence.
