Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time - Rated 404/500!
1987 Grammy Award Winner:
• Best R&B Vocal Performance, Female: "Rapture"
• Best Rhythm & Blues Song: "Sweet Love"
Rapture, the chart-topping Grammy award winning 1986 sophomore album from iconic songstress Anita Baker, gets a new vinyl reissue as part of the celebration of Elektra Records' 75th Anniversary. Featuring soulful classics like "Sweet Love" and "Caught Up in the Rapture," this multi-platinum selling record has rarely appeared on vinyl since its original pressing nearly 40 years ago.
To its credit, Elektra made her a major star by focusing on Baker's strong point — romantic but gospel-influenced R&B/pop ballads and 'slow jams,' sometimes with jazz overtones — and letting her be true to herself. Rapture gave Baker one moving hit after another.
An album of deep romantic intimacy that sounded like little else in Eighties pop but still went multiplatinum.
a slow-burning and symphonic piece of quiet storm R&B that floods every sense
