Smooth, contemporary R & B, with no new twists but a lot of heart-- that's what newcomer Rome doles out in plentiful portions on his self-titled debut. This Michigan native cites Marvin Gaye and Sam Cooke as two major influences, and it shows. Slow jams rule here, with tunes like "I Belong to You" and "Crazy Love" showcasing Rome's strong, gospel-inflected voice.
