Not only is February the shortest month of the year, it also looks like a very short month for new R&B albums. There's less than 10 confirmed releases of new material this month, so instead of the usual top 10 list, this month there's a top five. (You would think with Valentine's Day coming up, some good love music would come out, but no.) One album didn't make the list is Maxwell's latest, Black Summer's Night, which was supposed to come out Feb. 13. It now appears that only the first single will be released on that date. Sorry Maxwell fans, but the long the wait for his new album continues.
1. "In My Songs," Gerald LeVert
The album that Gerald LeVert had just finished recording right before he died of a heart attack in November 2006. It'll be in U.S. stores on Feb. 13.
2. "The Remedy," Boyz II Men
The Remedy is a double-CD set: the first album is entirely new music; the second is re-recordings of some of their most popular hits. The album will be available exclusively on Boyz II Men's official website, www.boyziimen.com, starting Feb. 14, which is Valentine's Day.
