In fact, Baker was earning her living as a legal secretary in her native Detroit when she signed with Elektra in the mid-'80s. Elektra gave her a strong promotional push, and the equally superb Rapture became the megahit that The Songstress should have been. To its credit, Elektra made her a major star by focusing on Baker's strong point -- romantic but gospel-influenced R\u0026amp;B\/pop ballads and \"slow jams,\" sometimes with jazz overtones -- and letting her be true to herself. Rapture gave Baker one moving hit after another, including \"Sweet Love,\" \"Caught up in the Rapture,\" \"Same Ole Love,\" and \"No One in This World.\" Praising Baker in a 1986 interview, veteran R\u0026amp;B critic Steve Ivory asserted, \"To me, singers like Anita Baker and Frankie Beverly define what R\u0026amp;B or soul music is all about.\" Indeed, Rapture's tremendous success made it clear that there was still a sizeable market for adult-oriented, more traditional R\u0026amp;B singing.” AllMusic Review by Alex Henderson\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRatings\u003c\/strong\u003e :\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiscogs : 4.78 \/ 5 ; AllMusic : 5 \/ 5\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AudioSoundMusic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59346024268111,"sku":"ELKLP81177","price":49.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0575\/3811\/7783\/files\/MzMtMTk0MS5qcGVn_aa22ad63-b21f-425b-8454-9b4cd0ec7c51.jpg?v=1793529728","url":"https:\/\/www.audiosoundmusic.com\/fr\/products\/anita-baker-rapture","provider":"AudioSoundMusic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
