There’s a bittersweet track called “ My First Love” where she’s trying to explain her feelings when it’s apparently too late. “ We never said goodbye, no / I never wanna feel the pain of losing love again“, she sings in a very dramatic way. The rest of the album is filled with ballads, which Faith Evans is a queen of. Until this day, the song is a perfect jam for club party. “ We can dance, dance, dance / Clap your hands, hands, hands“, she repeats on the dynamic chorus. It’s worth to mention, American rapper Fatman Scoop sampled the song on his hit single “Be Faithful” in 1999.įaith keeps the same energy with the next song titled “ All Night Long”. The single is a mild mix of R&B, disco and funk, and that’s a sound that Faith Evans developed a bit later, on her other albums, in such songs as “Mesmerized” and “You Gets No Love”. “ Baby, try to understand / I’ll be crazy if you leave“, she sings gracefully over the smooth beat. The highlight of Keep The Faith is a track called “ Love Like This”.
And still, after 20 years, it’s recognized as an important staple in Faith’s discography, and a very solid record even today.
Allmusic described the longplay as “ without a doubt a highlight of 1990s soul-pop music”. It peaked at number 6 on the U.S Billboard 200 album charts and was certified Platinum by the RIAA. What’s more, Keep the Faith repeated the very high album sales of her debut. The American singer admitted she had difficulty completing Keep The Faith because of the pressure and the fact that she felt like there was no progress at first.įortunately for us, she did complete it.
She witnessed the murder of her husband and famous rapper Notorious B.I.G, and she had to reorganized her reality in front of the whole world. It took three years for Faith Evans to release her second album after her very successful debut record simple called Faith from 1995.
