Famous (Marques Houston album)

Famous is the sixth studio album by American R&B singer Marques Houston.

Andy Kellman of AllMusic gave the album two and a half stars out of five, saying "Famous, Marques Houston's sixth solo album and first for Shanachie, is a little more D'Angelo and a little less R. Kelly than previous release Mattress Music.

Almost all of the tracks involve newcomer producer and songwriter Immanuel Jordan Rich, who grants Houston a set dominated by mature slow jams.

"Only You" gets the album off to a poor start; the lyrical quotes from Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On" are so extensive that Houston seems as if he can't be bothered to add his own touch.

The easy-gliding falsetto showcase "Take Your Love Away," which ranks with Houston's best work, is the album's standout.
