1958年出生於美國底特律的安妮塔貝克(Anita Baker)是靈魂樂節奏藍調界的天后級人物
以其優雅 浪漫的Quiet Storm靈魂歌曲受到歡迎
1979年以黑人團體Chapter 8的主唱出道
1983年推出個人首張專輯
1986年以第二張大碟〔Rapture/狂喜〕走紅後
不但在商業市場獲得成功 也廣受樂評讚賞 至今已拿到八座葛萊美獎
1990年6月 安妮塔貝克發行第四張大碟〔Compositions/作品集〕
這張專輯比先前兩張更具70年代的R&B風味
拿到專輯榜#7 為她再拿一張白金唱片
〔Compositions〕也是貝克在英國榜名次最高的大碟──#7 成為金唱片(雖然不是最暢銷的)
專輯首支單曲是春末推出的〔Talk to Me/跟我談〕
仍舊維持成人抒情R&B曲風
貝克以她綿延的寬廣音域詮釋這首Slow Jam
這回〔Talk to Me〕只在流行榜拿到#44
不過在一向很支持她的節奏藍調榜則升到#3 成人抒情榜#4
國際成績則是加拿大#50 英國#68
這是安妮塔貝克事業另一首R&B佳作
