Keep Your Eye On Me is Herb Alpert's slick, synth-kissed 1980s statement, reissued here on CD.

Released in 1987, the album saw the trumpeter and label co-founder step boldly into the sound of the moment. Alongside his own productions, he teamed up with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, the Minneapolis duo then shaping some of the biggest R&B records of the decade, and the collaboration gave his familiar horn a fresh, punchy setting.

The title track "Keep Your Eye On Me" opens with drum-machine snap and a groove built for late-night radio. "Diamonds" is the headline moment, featuring Janet Jackson on vocals and riding a glossy, bouncing rhythm that sounds every bit of its era in the best way. "Hot Shot" keeps the energy high, and "Traffic Jam" adds some city-street bustle to the mix.

Things wind down beautifully with a tender cover of "Stranger on the Shore," a reminder that underneath the gated drums sits a player with a gift for melody.

For fans of 1980s R&B and smooth instrumental pop, this is a fun and surprising chapter in a long career. It shows Alpert as a musician who never stopped listening to what was happening around him, and this reissue gives that era a welcome second spin.
