Release Notes:
After such George Duke-produced R&B/pop hits on A&M as "On the
Wings of Love" and "The Borderlines," Jeffrey Osborne's Arista
debut, Only Human, was a return to more R&B-oriented material.
Wisely, the LP's first single showcased Osborne's special way
with a ballad. Produced by Barry J. Eastmond (Freddie
Jackson), the halting, dusky "Only Human" was a Top Three R&B
smash in late 1990. The singer shows his social consciousness
side on the chugging "If My Brother's in Trouble," which was
produced by Shep Pettibone and made it to number 11 R&B in the
spring of 1991. The Osborne co-written ballad "The Morning
After I Made Love to You" (also produced by Eastmond) at times
generates the kind of shivers generated by some of his
classics with L.T.D.. It was the album's third hit single,
going to number 24 in the summer of 1991. There are successful
flirtations with hip-hop on "Baby Wait a Minute" and a cover
of the Roberta Flack hit "Feel Like Making Love" co-produced
by Robert Brookins. While it could be argued that Osborne's
A&M albums were generally "too pop," he seems absolutely
regenerated on Only Human, digging his vocal chops into
material that accommodates his extensive range. It's a
head-scratcher as to why this is his only Arista release (one
of his other sides for the label was the tasty Dionne Warwick
duet "Love Power"); it would have been very interesting to
hear Osborne continue in this mode.
