"My first exposure to Wade O Brown was a few years ago while I was watching television during a trip to Montreal, Canada.
He was on a morning show promoting his debut CD "Complete". I was so impressed with his performance, I spent most of the
day visiting music stores looking for his CD.
Recently, when I learned that Wade was about to release his second album, and that they were going to promote it in the states, I was on a mission to obtain a copy.
I'm here to report that Wade O. Brown's "All Night, All Love" is an exceptional R&B CD. There's something for everyone. Dance jams, mid-tempo grooves, and silky smooth ballads. His deep booming voice invokes comparison to Jaheim, without all the thuggish lyrics.
Wade is in his dance groove on "All Night, All Love", "Shake", and "Where Do You Go For Love", which was the first single from the project. For those of us that like that mid-tempo two-step beat there's "Just Good Friends", "Put This On", "Besides", and the radio friendly "So Glad".
For the lovers in the house, Wade has plenty of songs for those
romantic moments. Just listen to "About Her", "How Does It Feel", "My All Is You", along with the new single "Maybe", and you will feel the sensual expression of love.
"All Night, All Love", the new CD from Wade O. Brown. A refreshing collection of R&B songs; celebrating the diversity of urban music.

"Wade O. Brown brings us a lot of love and lots of soul from Canada on his brand new album "All Night, All Love". On his first album-Complete- Wado did all the work on his own. But on "All Night, All love" Wade O. Brown has worked with different producers and songwriters e.g. Cornelius C. Mims, Darryl Simmons, Dave Sereny and Gordon Chambers.
As Wade O. Brown is a musician who likes a top-notch orchestration and a good production you might be sure that he surrounded himself with people that have the same aspirations. If you really like great soulful singers Wado's new album His voice will remind you of artists that can really sing and have their own style like The O'Jays, Lou Rawls, Teddy Pendergrass and Jeffrey Osbourne. His music however is music from today.
A song like About Her can easily challenge songs in today's top ten r&b and soul charts. Another track on All Night, All Love which is remarkable is Wholeheart while the title track itself is so sweet to dance on. Wholeheart is remarkable because the instrumentation representing the heartbeat is very cleverly found. It demonstrates creativity.(TA)
Stand Out Tracks: About Her, Put This On, All Night, All Love, Just Good Friends, Where Do We Go For Love, Best Of My Love"
An R&B Great

"This CD is just exceptional and a "MUST have" for any R&B music lover.
The CD is a vocally brillant and it is very well produced.
In my view it ranks as good as anything from artists such as Joe, Johnny Gill, Gerald Levert, Silk, Kenny Lattimnore, Keith Washington, Christopher Williams, Brian McKnight & Luther Vandross etc...
So if you like any of these artists then I can only recommend you buy this CD as it will not dissappoint you."
