Rapture
Description:
Rapture is the second album by American vocalist Anita Baker, released March 20th in 1986. This became Baker’s breakout album, selling over 8 million copies worldwide (of which 5 million in the US) and earning her two Grammy Awards. The album’s first track, ”Sweet Love”, was a top 10 Billboard hit in addition to winning a Grammy Award. The music video for the track ”Same Ole Love” was filmed and recorded at Baker’s Keyboard Lounge.
Rapture was released by Elektra Records in March 1986, peaking at number 11 on the Billboard 200 in the United States and number 13 on the UK Albums Chart. Promoted with two hit singles in ”Sweet Love” and ”Caught Up in the Rapture”, the album received significant airplay on both black radio and Top 40 formats, unlike Baker’s 1983 debut The Songstress. By October 1987, Rapture had sold three million copies. It propelled Baker to stardom in soul and pop music during the late 1980s, winning two Grammy Awards and eventually sold over six million copies worldwide.
