Editor's note

Marques Houston's smooth R&B after IMx

From boy band beginnings to solo romantic R&B, with hits like 'Favorite Girl' and 'Naked'.

For the solo sound, 'Favorite Girl' and 'Naked' give you the blueprint. It's all there in those tracks.

After IMx's early '90s run with songs like 'Unpretty,' Houston carved out his own lane with solo R&B that felt direct and uncomplicated. 'Favorite Girl' and 'Naked' became staples for listeners who wanted straightforward romantic themes without too much production fuss. His music stayed in that smooth pocket even as R&B around him got more elaborate.

He started in the Los Angeles boy band IMx in the early 1990s. After the group disbanded, he went solo with 'MH' in 2003 and kept releasing albums like 'Atmosphere' and 'Veteran' through the decade.

Archive material and source history

Marques Houston started in the Los Angeles boy band IMx in the early 1990s, which had some chart success with songs like "Unpretty." After the group disbanded, he went solo and released his first album "MH" in 2003, featuring the R&B hit "Circle." He followed that with several more albums over the next decade, including "Atmosphere" in 2005 and "Veteran" in 2007.

His solo work includes songs like "Favorite Girl," "Express Lane," and "I Like It" that became popular with R&B listeners. The music tends toward smooth, romantic themes with straightforward production, avoiding the more elaborate arrangements of some contemporary R&B.

Houston has also worked as an actor and producer alongside his music career. He faced some legal issues in 2007 related to marijuana possession and driving under the influence, which received media attention at the time. His later albums like "Mattress Music" and "Sunset" continued in a similar R&B vein.
