Here It Is (Freddie Jackson album)

Here It Is is the sixth studio album by American singer Freddie Jackson. It was released by RCA Records on January 18, 1994. His debut with the label after several years with Capitol Records, it reached number 11 on the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. Here It Is produced the singles "Come Home II U", "I Love" and "My Family".

Critical reception
AllMusic editor Ron Wynn found that Jackson's debut with RCA "has several excellent performances, but unfortunately, there's no single standout cut. There are brilliantly sung numbers, ("Come Home II U," "I Love," "My Family") but there's no track that can stand alongside "Rock Me Tonight," "Nice And Slow" or any of a half-dozen other past Jackson hits. Jackson merits pop attention more than many others with a much larger profile."
