Personnel: Avant (vocals, background vocals); Olivia, Bumpy Johnson (vocals); David Katz, Patrick Brennan, Marlou Johnston, Lenore McIntyre, Teresa Fream (violin); Edward Moore (cello); Darius Brooks (strings, piano); Stizzle (background vocals).Audio Mixer: Peter Mokran. Recording information: Stone Recording Studio, Chicago, IL; The Boom Boom Room, Hollywood, CA; The Record Plant, Los Angeles, CA. Editors: Chris Brickley; Peter Mokran. Photographer: Keith Major. In the classic mold of mack-daddy R & B crooners, Avant is a man with one thing on his mind, and it's the sort of thing that's best appreciated in a PRIVATE ROOM. On "Read Your Mind," for instance, at a key point in the song, everything stops while Avant lets out one of the loudest, lustiest sighs in the history of recorded music. As a matter of course, most of the tracks on PRIVATE ROOM are in the time-tested slow-jam vein, giving Avant plenty of room for whispering, cajoling, cooing, and otherwise working his musical wiles. Nevertheless, "Heaven" has an almost 1970s-sounding melodic pop flavor, and "You" is carried along by a driving hip-hop beat. Things get pretty hot in Avant's PRIVATE ROOM, but his simmering, romantic style makes sure that they never overheat.
