R&B singer Keith Sweat will release his first album in more than five years on March 18.

"Just Me" is the first release under a new deal with reissue specialist Rhino Records' reactivated Atco imprint. The first single is "Suga Suga Suga."

Elsewhere, Keyshia Cole guests on the duet "Love You Better," while Sweat dips into a falsetto vocal for the first time on "Somebody." Other tracks include "Butterscotch" featuring prior debut partner Athena Cage, "Just Wanna Sex You" and "Never Had a Lover."

Sweat's last studio album was 2002's "Rebirth" (Elektra), which debuted at No. 14 on the Billboard 200. Since then, he's issued a live disc and a Christmas album, while also hosting the nationally syndicated radio program "The Keith Sweat Hotel."
