专辑介绍
by David Jeffries
Robert Palmer's grin on the cover of Double Fun is reflected throughout this light, feel-good, and funky album, recorded while he was living the life of an Island-loving expatriate with style and money to burn. With its laid-back sway, slap-and-pop bassline, steel drum melody, and lyrics that are really saying something, the big hit &Every Kinda People& is quintessential pre-Power Station Palmer, even if -- and considering his success with covers, maybe especially because -- he didn't write it. The easy and uplifting &Best of Both Worlds& is a great example of how slick can be an entirely positive thing and the closing rocker, &You're Gonna Get What's Coming,& predicts his breakthrough American hit, &Bad Case of Loving You,& with same combination of lust and guitar grit, just at a slower tempo. &Love Can Run Faster& -- which is &The Hunter Gets Captured by the Game& for the sandals set -- and &Come Over& (&You tease my monkey/You make my knees feel funky&) also deserve special mention. If it wasn't for &Where Can It Go?& (pure, unashamed syrup) and the slinky cover &You Really Got Me& (clever for the first minute, trying afterward), this would rank among the singer's best. Even with its faults, fans of Palmer's more Caribbean-flavored work will find plenty to love here.
