Maintaining the same supple, jazz-inflected vocals that made Peabo Bryson's name during his 1980s run of classic R&B makeout tunes, MISSING YOU finds Bryson shifting to an indie label with no loss of style, sophistication, or smoothness. MISSING YOU features vintage-sounding slow jams such as "Count On Me," "I Promise I Do," and "I Try," with Bryson in excellent voice throughout the mellow, groove-oriented set. minimize
