Silky Soul is the seventh album and ninth overall album by the Bay Area-based R&B group Maze, released in 1989 on Warner Bros. Records.
Critical reception
The Rolling Stone Album Guide wrote that Silky Soul "finds Maze updating its graceful sound with a subtly bracing touch of synthesized rhythms." The Boston Globe thought that Frankie Beverly ably spans "boudoir intimacies and pleas for South African liberation and black cooperation—all with a voice as cool and buttery as [Marvin] Gaye's."
