    [Notes]

    Promoted with three singles that, spread across an uncommonly long period,
    were her biggest Billboard Adult R&B hits, Fall for You quietly became one
    of Leela James' most successful albums. The upswing continues with the
    grit-and-grace singer's sixth full-length. Just prior to the release of Did
    It for Love, "Don't Want You Back" had already surpassed "Set Me Free" as
    James' highest placement on the Adult R&B chart, which is determined by
    airplay. An elegant and forthright composite of late-'70s Rufus & Chaka Khan
    and Earth, Wind & Fire with a little contemporary rhythmic sweetening,
    "Don't Want You Back" does sound best when heard on the radio, in a car with
    the windows down. That might be especially true for a driver or passenger on
    the rebound; "He's doin' what he's supposed to do, ooh, it could've been
    you" is an ego-deflating line executed to smooth perfection. It's one of the
    album's nine songs James wrote with Rex Rideout, an all-purpose studio and
    A&R veteran whose work has supported dozens including Will Downing, Ledisi,
    and BJ the Chicago Kid. The two, joined by several additional associates,
    are well-matched, evidently capable of covering a lot of emotional range and
    tying it all together. Dismissal, wistfulness, and contentment (including
    the fine Dave Hollister duet "Good to Love You") are among the many romantic
    conditions they soundtrack here, and they manage to do it with a perspective
    that is steeped in soul tradition but fresh for 2017. The two songs made
    without Rideout -- the lightly stomping "There 4 U" and dustier,
    hard-hitting title track, the finale -- are up to the same high standard.
    Fans of James' earlier output might balk at perceived impurities, like
    snaking/rattling trap-style drums that undergird some of the tracks, but
    they're secondary, utilized with finesse, like a natural evolution of what
    the likes of Kashif and Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis did with machines during
    the early '80s. The song shines through each time.
