Back to the World

Back to the World is the third studio album by American R&B singer Tevin Campbell. It was released by Qwest Records on June 18, 1996. Conceived after a period in which Campbell made fewer public appearances and focused on his private life, the album marked a shift toward a more urban sound, driven by a new lineup of collaborators, including Sean "Puffy" Combs and Keith Crouch. Now in his late teens, Campbell took more creative control, aiming for a personal record that marked his growth and maturity. Critics complimented Campbell's vocal maturity and artistic growth on Back to the World, though some found the album's mellow tone occasionally repetitive. Commercially, the album failed to replicate the success of its two predecessors, reaching number 46 on the US Billboard 200 and number eleven on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart only. The album's title track, its lead single, became a top ten hit in New Zealand though, and reached the top 20 of the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.
