专辑介绍：

黑街男孩，二级进化。城市街头灵魂美声，R&B入门专辑，喜欢这种口味的朋友不要错过。

还记得90年代大行其道的美声节奏蓝调/灵魂乐吗？最具代表性的Boyz II Men，将多部人声组合搭配发挥的淋漓尽致，让乐迷惊呼，原来人声也可以如同乐器般，发奏出动人耐听悠扬音符。

然而就在这一波音乐风潮中，Blackstreet仍秉持多部美声搭腔，开创节奏蓝调乐最为綺情异色世界，不仅藉著大胆露骨的遐想文字导入软绵浓郁香醇音调，更大展自身性感诱人灵韵嗓音，时而浪漫调情、时而咸湿狂放，一副情场老手模样，又带著街头黑帮霸气，虽不以嘻哈/饶舌乐为诉求，反透出节奏蓝调/灵魂音乐质感，营造派对欢乐气息，但将其难以驯服的暴戾之气，软化且使之温柔起来。经过纷纷扰扰的团员分化，Blackstreet仍入列「25年来五百组最佳流行艺人」第214名。1994-2003年间共推出四张畅销专辑，缔造六百万张销售纪录。

For the last 15 years, Teddy Riley has been one of r&b's most innovative tunesmiths. As one of the creators of New Jack Swing, Riley has enjoyed a winning streak of hits with Guy ("Groove Me"), Wreckx-N-Effect ("Rump Shaker") and his latest creation, Blackstreet. But while Blackstreet has put out some killer singles ("No Diggety," "Booti Call," "Girlfriend/Boyfriend"), their albums are, for the most part, frustratingly unsatisfying. On average, you'll find on their CDs 3 or 4 excellent cuts weighed down by a heap of subpar filler. But on "Level II," Riley gets it right and the result is his most consistent groove yet. Though far from perfect, there's some fun to be had by all, with the songs leaning from neo New Jack tracks to suave ballads, with a few touches of hip hop (check out Mystikal on the closer "Wizzy Wow"). The libido spirals out of control in the funked-up "She's Hot," while the it-ain't-whatchu-think "Friend of Mine" is a tight groove that stands out pretty well. The sampling yields mixed results, though. It works with the mid-tempo "Why Why," which makes good use of Michael Jackson's "Human Nature." But it doesn't work with the ballad "Look in the Water," which lazily steals the hook of Simply Red's "Holding Back the Years." Yet, at a concise 61 minutes, "Level II" doesn't wear out its welcome, and it's overall a pretty good album that's one notch above the predictability of mainstream r&b.
