Robert Palmer's second EMI album, which turned out to be a sales disappointment, seems to combine two different musical concepts in its 18 tracks. The first is a straightforward, rhythm-heavy Robert Palmer rock album that takes up about the first half of the record. The second is a soundtrack for a planned musical that a Palmer bio describes as &a futuristic comedy using telling songs from the '40s to the present day,& some produced by jazzman Teo Macero. These include songs like Bob Dylan's &I'll Be Your Baby Tonight& (done reggae style), Marvin Gaye's &Mercy Mercy Me& and &I Want You,& and Rodgers & Hammerstein's &People Will Say We're in Love.& The idea looks forward to Palmer's next album, Ridin' High, which is comprised entirely of standards, but the mixture of rhythm tracks and string-filled arrangements here makes for a confusing mixture.
