One of the finest voices and greatest poets of R&B, Smokey Robinson has blazed a trail so distinctive and unforgettable it needs no recounting. Thus, where other stars who shone most brightly 30 years prior might choose to bask in past glories, Smokey keeps on evolving. There's not a hint of nostalgia on the aptly titled INTIMATE, just that golden voice floating over elegantly constructed contemporary R&B arrangements. As always in Smokey's world, the name of the game is romance, so the silky smooth ballads that dominate the album find him playing to his strengths. There's a lush sensuality that pervades these tracks, as Smokey's voice drips down like honey over subtly rhythmic guitar lines, atmospheric but unobtrusive keyboards, and slinky percussion. Though it bears the sheen of '90s production techniques, the most important aspect of INTIMATE is that unique, timeless voice.
