Keith Sweat, the celebrated master of the slow jam, unwraps his first-ever holiday music collection, proving there's no one better qualified to deliver a Yuletide disc titled A Christmas Of Love. The R&B and soul superstar's new album of newly recorded contemporary Christmas songs will be available November 20 at all retail outlets and online.

The album's nine songs spotlight the Harlem-born singer's signature mix of smooth vocals coupled with warm, supple groove. Sweat puts his unmistakable mark on the classic "The Christmas Song," as well as "Under The Tree," "Once A Year" and "It's Christmas Again"-- a trio of songs Sweat cowrote. With "Point Of Christmas," the religious artist pays tribute to the "reason for the season."

Transitioning from Wall Street brokerage assistant to R&B heartthrob, the Harlem-born star dominated the urban landscape beginning in 1987 with his triple-platinum debut Make It Last Forever. In fact, it's likely that the singer single-handedly and ever-so-eloquently merged the "please, baby, baby, please" style that dominated '60s R&B with the rhythmic moaning made famous by Steve Arrington, frontman for '70s R&B group Slave. Make It Last Forever was the sexy backdrop to the short-lived yet monumental New Jack era, and the quadruple-platinum album continues to sell.

He hit platinum again in the '90s with I'll Give All My Love To You, which contained a pair of #1 smashes-the title track and his signature song, "Make You Sweat." The album hit #1 on the R&B chart, as did Sweat's next three albums-- Keep It Comin' (1991), Get Up On It (1994), and Keith Sweat (1996). He has sold more than 14 million records and garnered five #1 R&B albums, 15 Top 10 R&B singles, six #1 hits, four Top 5 pop singles, three multi-platinum and three platinum albums, two platinum and three gold singles, widespread critical acclaim and a rabid international following. Today, Sweat hosts his own syndicated radio show, The Sweat Hotel, in 19 markets.
