BILLBOARD (March 9, 1996) pg.76 Section: Reviews & Previews SINGLES: R & B [a]QUINCY JONES FEATURING BABYFACE & TAMIA WITH PORTRAIT & BARRY WHITE Slow Jams (4:28) PRODUCER: Quincy Jones WRITER: R. Temperton PUBLISHERS: Rodsongs/Almo, ASCAP Qwest 8104 (c/o Warner Bros.) (cassette single) Qs Jook Joint will enjoy another R&B radio smash with this tribute to the songs that have served as the soundtrack to many a romantic evening. Babyface is reliably suave, as Jones spreads a plush blanket of synths and strings over a bed of firm but restrained percussion. Ingenue Tamia continues to impress, while Portrait and Barry White are more background dressing than anything else. It hardly matters, though--the mix is sweet and seductive, as are Babyface and Tamia, who have formidable chemistry.
