The Poet II

The Poet II (1984) is an R&B and soul album by Bobby Womack that continues his intimate, confessional songwriting while incorporating mid-1980s production touches. Womack’s warm, gritty baritone and gospel-rooted phrasing remain central, paired with polished arrangements that blend keyboards and drum programming with traditional soul instrumentation. The result is a set of romantic and reflective songs that bridge classic soul sensibilities with contemporary R&B sounds of the 1980s.
