Album of the Day

Born in Grand Rapids, Michigan on this day in 1973, Adina Howard signed with EastWest Records in the mid-1990s and had a hit right out of the gate with DO YOU WANNA RIDE? As the cover photo suggests, there's plenty of bumping and grinding going on in these 13 songs, which include “My Up and Down,” “It's All About You” and “Freak Like Me,” a No.2 hit on both the Pop and R&B charts. With a raft of top producers lending their talents to the 1995 collection, it was soon certified Gold. DO YOU WANNA RIDE? is just the ticket for new jack swing fans, and we'll give the set another spin to wish Howard a happy birthday.
