  • Back in 2016, Keith Sweat came through to speak to VladTV about his twelfth studio album, Dress to Impress, which he explained doesn't deviate from his classic sound. He went on to share his thoughts on R&B today being "different," and Keith added that he feels like it's time for the legends in the R&B world to come out and represent. Moving along, Keith Sweat spoke about being referenced by artists like Kendrick Lamar, and feeling like people still referencing his songs like "Nobody" makes him relevant. Keith also spoke about growing up in the projects in Harlem and feeling like he chose the right direction by pursuing music, and he also detailed how he got his big break with an album deal. To hear more, including knowing Teddy Riley and making his first album with Teddy, hit the above clip.

    Keith Sweat is one of the special artist. Like Big Daddy Kane, Diana Ross, James Brown, Barry White and a few others. Their music has always been part of my life. I played the Keith Sweat I will always love you cassette tape every day while attending Washington Irving high school in 1990. I brought that cassette again and again and again because I kept popping the tape in my walkman. LOL...the dudes selling music tapes on 14 street union square made much money off me. That tape takes me back to H.S. and my first girlfriend. Man...those were the days. I still love all the songs from that Keith Sweat album and know all the songs by heart. Keith Sweat is definitely a legend.
