Self-titled, the fourth long-player by the Anointed has been referred to by those in the trio's camp as their Inchdream record,Inch made silky-smooth by an all-star group of wish-list producers including Keith Crouch and Tony Rich. While hardly breaking new ground, and a little saccharine for some tastes, Anointed witnesses to the faithful in a slicked-up eclecticism that will appeal to the most secular R&B pop fans. InchSomething's MissingInch is a sensual ballad firmly grounded by spiritual ideals. InchOoh BabyInch is a dance-inflected harmony anthem underscored with a fat bass-delay beat. InchTake It Easy,Inch a funked-up, whirling R&B number, features the skitter-scat showboating of Steve Crawford on lead vocals. Most insightfully infectious, however, are the opening and closing numbers-the unadulterated disco-gospel joy of the album version of InchRevive UsInch (there are two alternate cuts not featured here) and the soulful optimism of the eminently singable InchAnything Is Possible.Inch
