Body Kiss is Excellent!

BODY KISS just goes to show that Ron Isley can hang with the new burgeoning R&B stars easily. Ron Isley sounds so smooth against R. Kelly's sensual arrangement. It is almost a collaboration built in heaven. This biggest surprise with BODY KISS is that Ron Isley, Mr. BIGGS is so edgy. The latter half of the album does lose some of the excitement that the first half had, but with albums today that seems to be the case most of the time. Track Picks: "SUPERSTAR", "LUCKY CHARM", "WHAT WOULD YOU DO", "BODY KISS", "BUSTED", and "SHOWDOWN". 4 stars MR. BIGGS!!!!

Good album by the Isleys

I thought that Body Kiss was very well done. R. Kelly might have done most of the album, but the show mainly goes to Ron Isley and Ernie Isley! I liked What Would You Do, both the original and remix versions. I liked the confrontation heavy Busted, where he goes after JS member for cheating on him unexpectedly. Especially the dancing/shopping part of the song, which was funny. A couple of the ballads in the second half recall their late '70s and 1983 period a lot, so all is not lost on here. Ron sometimes comes off like Jay-Z or one of the top rappers on a few of the songs, but his willingness to stay current helps this album. And I loved the one song that Ernie performed guitar on. I still think that Eternal was the better album, but this is just as good a follow up album to that one.

Great CD

This is a great CD! Hip, modern R & B tunes. I am 21 years old and can most definitely appreciate the music from the Isley Brothers. Its a must-have!
