''Sparkle'' is the self-titled debut album by R&B singer, Sparkle. It was released on May 20, 1998 through Interscope Records and was entirely produced by her mentor R. Kelly. The album was a success in large part to the Sparkle-R. Kelly duet "Be Careful", which peaked at 3 on the Rhythmic Top 40 and 1 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay. The album itself peaked at 3 on the ''Billboard'' 200 and was certified platinum on December 7, 2000. In addition to "Be Careful", "Time to Move On" and "Lovin' You" were also released as singles, but neither made it to the Billboard charts. Entertainment Weekly (6/19/98, p. 74) - "Unlike her wannabe-diva peers, this R. Kelly protegee remembers what the 'B' in R&B stands for....R. Kelly surrounds her with blaxploitation-vintage wah-wah guitars, haunting strings, and blue-collar blues; the resulting soul digs far deeper than Kelly's usual bump'n' grind..." - Rating: B+ ==Track listing== #"Good Life"- 3:46 (featuring Cam'ron and Nature) #"Time to Move On"- 4:03 #"Lean on Me"- 4:22 #"I'm Gone"- 5:14 #"Turn Away"- 4:43 #"What About"- 4:47 #"Be Careful"- 5:17 (featuring R.
