Released

Intimate is the twentieth solo studio album by Smokey Robinson, released in 1999 on Motown Records. The album returns Robinson to his Quiet Storm roots with a collection of smooth, contemporary R&B ballads that demonstrate his songwriting and vocal gifts remained fully intact well into his late fifties. Robinson wrote most of the album's material, maintaining the self-authored approach that had defined his career across four decades. Intimate arrived as 1990s R&B was dominated by hip-hop production and new jack swing holdovers, making Robinson's organic, melody-first approach feel both timeless and distinct. The title itself reflects Robinson's enduring subject matter, personal, romantic, and emotionally direct, and the record earned favorable comparisons to the Quiet Storm classics of the late 1970s. Intimate confirmed that Smokey Robinson's songwriting had no expiration date.
