About Bobby

Bobby is the third studio album by American singer Bobby Brown, released in 1992 by MCA Records. The album continued the R&B/new-jack sound of its successful predecessor, Don't Be Cruel. Babyface, L. A. Reid, and Daryl Simmons returned as songwriters and producers, however Brown also worked with new producers, most notably Teddy Riley, who was considered a pioneer of the new jack swing genre. Riley also co-wrote and produced the majority of the album. Brown also had more creative input and control of the album, becoming an executive producer and co-writing seven of the album's thirteen tracks. Bobby peaked at number two on the US Billboard 200, and spawned two top 10 Billboard Hot 100 singles: "Humpin' Around" and "Good Enough". The album also reached number on the Billboard R&B Albums chart and reached the top 10 in Australia, New Zealand and Sweden. Bobby included Brown's first duet with wife Whitney Houston on "Something in Common", which was also released as a single. Bobby generally received positive reviews from music critics. Brown received his second Grammy Award nomination for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance at the 35th Grammy Awards for "Humpin' Around". The album was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on February 19, 1993 more »
