T.E.V.I.N. is the debut studio album by American R&B singer Tevin Campbell. It was released by Qwest Records on November 19, 1991. Recorded within a year, Campbell worked with a wide range of pop and R&B producers on his debut, including Narada Michael Walden, Arthur Baker, Al B. Sure, and Kyle West. With the singer still in his early teens and his voice changing during puberty, several song on the album were re-recorded during the production. Campbell himself co-wrote two songs on T.E.V.I.N..

The album received generally mixed reviews, with praise for Campbell's vocals and standout tracks like "Round and Round," though some critics felt the material lacked personality. It reached number 38 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and peaked at number five on the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. Reaching Platinum status in the US, T.E.V.I.N. produced two number-one singles on the R&B chart, including "Tell Me What You Want Me to Do" and "Alone with You," the former of which received a Best Male R&B Vocal Performance nomination at the 1992 Grammy Awards.
