Bobby is the third studio album by American R&B singer Bobby Brown, released in 1992 by MCA Records.
The album continued the R&B/new-jack sound of its successful predecessor, Don't Be Cruel. Babyface, L.A. Reid, and Daryl Simmons returned as songwriters and producers, however Brown also worked with new producers, most notably Teddy Riley, who was considered a pioneer of the new jack swing genre. Riley also produced Brown's number one hit on the Don't Be Cruel album, My Prerogative. Riley wrote and produced the majority of the album. Brown also had more creative input and control of the album, becoming an executive producer and co-writing seven of the album's thirteen tracks.
Bobby peaked at #2 on the US Billboard 200 album chart, and spawned two Top 10 Billboard Hot 100 singles: "Humpin' Around" (#3) and "Good Enough" (#7). The album also peaked at #1 on the Billboard R&B Albums chart and reached #2 in Australia.
The album included Brown's first duet with wife Whitney Houston on "Something in Common", which was also released as a single.
Bobby generally received mixed reviews from music critics. Brown received his second Grammy nomination for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance at the 35th Annual Grammy Awards for "Humpin' Around".
