Keith Sweat

Keith Sweat is an American R&B singer and producer who emerged in the late 1980s as a pioneer of the New Jack Swing sound, blending smooth vocals with contemporary hip-hop production. Known for his sensual, introspective style and signature use of the talk-box effect, he became a defining voice of the Quiet Storm movement, an intimate subgenre of R&B characterized by slow tempos and romantic themes. His influential albums, including "Make It Last Forever" (1987), helped establish him as one of the decade's most successful and genre-defining artists in contemporary R&B.
