T.E.V.I.N. is the first studio album by Tevin Campbell. The album contained Round And Round (Soul Mix Edit), written and produced by Prince. This song was released the previous year in its 'original form' (although also a remix) on Graffiti Bridge, Prince’s twelfth album.

The album produced seven singles (although Round And Round was released earlier, connected with Graffiti Bridge): Just Ask Me To, Tell Me What You Want Me To Do, Goodbye, Strawberry Letter 23, Alone With You, Confused and One Song.

The album reached number 38 on the US Billboard Pop Chart, and number 5 on the Billboard R&B Chart.

Prince’s involvement with Tevin Campbell was greater on his second album, I’m Ready (see that album’s page for information).
