Pro Reviews: Rapture
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews Though Anita Baker got some airplay out of The Songstress, that promising solo debut didn't bring her financial security. In fact, Baker was earning her living as a legal secretary in her native Detroit when she signed with Elektra in the mid-'80s. Elektra gave her a strong promotional push, and the equally superb Rapture became the megahit that The Songstress should have been. To its credit, Elektra made her a major star by focusing on Baker's strong point -- romantic but gospel-influenced RB/pop ballads and "slow jams," sometimes with jazz overtones -- and letting her be true to herself. Rapture gave Baker one moving hit after another, including "Sweet Love," "Caught Up in the Rapture," "Same Ole Love," and "No One in This World." Praising Baker in a 1986 interview, veteran RB critic Steve Ivory asserted, "To me, singers like Anita Baker and Frankie Beverly define what RB or soul music is all about." Indeed, Rapture's tremendous success made it clear that there was still a sizeable market for adult-oriented, more traditional RB singing. - Alex Henderson, All Music Guide |

Pros: Amazing Voice, Amazing Production, Amazing Songs
Cons: Its addictive-I listen to it everyday-22 years later
Anita Baker is truly an amazing artist. She has complete control over her music and just look what she has ended up producing- a classic album of great love songs. From sweet Love to Watch Your Step. There is beauty in each and every song.
On her best of Album they included every song from this album except 'Been So Long' and 'Watch Your Step'. 'Been So Long' is a classic and one of my favourites - witten and composed by Anita Baker. Its strange because she hasn't made many albums but the impact she has had on the music business has been phenomenol. Just look at Mary J Blige, Toni Braxton, Faith Evans, Kanye West, Jill Scott. The list goes on. Clearly, when God made musical artists, he made Anita Baker a special case -Thank you. ...
