13. 13Though "Ritual of Love," Karyn White's follow-up to her self-titled debut has a few tracks that are obvious filler, her slinky, sexy charm is still more than enough to satisfy. White's voice can be as slinky as Diana Ross' or as kittenish as Janet Jackson's purr, yet White's is much more thrilling and muscular, her vocal gymnastics obviously influenced by the likes of Babyface and Michael Jackson when he was in his prime. With equal aplomb, she easily handles crunching dance tunes ("Romantic" [the only hit here that ranks with "The Way You Love Me," "Superwoman" or "Love Saw It" from her debut album], "Ritual of Love" and "Walking the Dog") and sultry Babyface-inspired ballads ("Hard to Say Goodbye," "How I Want You," "One Heart"). "Ritual of Love" may not be letter perfect but it's still great enough to make you wish that Karyn White had not decided to abruptly end what was--and would surely have continued to be--a successful recording career.
