Silk were always a remarkable
collection of voices that harmonized so
well and they could preach the gospel of
the bedroom like no other. R. Kelly
based a career on Silk's greatest
moment, "Freak Me", but the band's
albums could be patchy. The biggest
problem is that Silk's greatest moments
were always about lust and sex so the
collection is a bit limited in topic,
but if you have candles and essential
oils in your bedroom you might as well
have this. Best of adequately covers their
Elektra years which was then things were
really happening so you don't need to
go much further. Despite having roots
in the dated world of New Jack Swing,
Best of still sounds fresh and what
their singles lacked in grabbing
production they made up for with
wonderful harmonies. "There's a meeting
in my bedroom/So girl please don't be
late" is a line few could deliver without
sounding silly but check the way the
members interact on "Meeting in my
Bedroom" and you'll be a convert. The
old remix of "Freak Me" gets tacked on
to the end of the disc and makes the
collection even more desirable. Unless
you're an R&B historian you won't need
another Silk album.
