Jesse Powell (album)

Jesse Powell is the eponymous debut studio album by American R&B singer Jesse Powell. It was released by Silas Records on March 12, 1996 in the United States.

Critical reception
Allmusic editor Craig Lytle found that "the CD is mixed with midtempo new jack swing rhythms and laid-back ballads that all sound consistent with each other. As Powell's vocals mature, his delivery should become smoother."
