Faith Evans' second album: Love Like This and All Night Long after Biggie's death, grief and groove on the same Bad Boy disc.

Keep the Faith arrived under impossible scrutiny—Evans as widow, star, and Bad Boy pillar. Love Like This and All Night Long (with Puff) reasserted her as a singles artist; Life Will Pass You By and related cuts carry the heavier emotional weather.

The album went Platinum and sits between the debut’s introduction and Faithfully’s steadier adult-R&B craft. It is the sound of someone working through public mourning in real time.
