Do Me Again is the fourth studio album by American singer Freddie Jackson, released by Capitol Records in 1990.[5][6] The album became Jackson's fourth consecutive effort to top the Billboard Top R&B Albums chart, and went gold in the US.

Critical reception

[edit]

The Boston Globe wrote that "once again, Freddie Jackson gently massages our earlobes with several highly suggestive ditties that would make Barry White blush."[7] Ebony deemed the album "steamy" and "a musical feast."[8] The Baltimore Sun wrote that "where [Luther] Vandross likes to power through his love songs, Jackson invariably takes a lighter touch, and that's what makes his Do Me Again worth replaying."[9]

The Rolling Stone Album Guide called Do Me Again Jackson's best album since his debut, giving much of the credit to the return of mentor Paul Laurence.[4]
