Houston - Ain't Nothing Wrong

On the surface this is a typically polished piece of R&B, nicely produced by the Underdogs in a way that makes the most of Houston's rich vocal. The song's hook may not be immediately noticeable but it hangs on in there, nagging away.

Whether it's distinctive enough to earn a recommendation for Houston above his peers is another point - the opening chorus lyric states "Ain't nothing wrong, if we be freakin' it babe" - pretty standard procedure, then! Memories of Another Level come to mind...

In the right spot in a club set this could go down well though, with a firm, floorbound beat, but it needs a bit more individuality. The album's called It's Already Written - insert a 'been' and you get the gist.
