专辑介绍
by Justin M. Kantor
A generally consistent effort with a few uninspired moments, Starr's breakthrough album embodies both the good and bad aspects of late-'80s synth-driven dance-pop. At its peak, the set is bright and zesty, with irresistible hooks and danceable rhythms (&What You See Is What You Get&) or passionately dramatic and heartfelt (&I Still Believe&). So, it's fitting that both of those numbers became Top 40 pop hits. At its low point, the album suffers from banal arrangements and clichéd melodies (&All Tied Up& and &Drive Another Girl Home,& though the latter is commendable for its unique delivery of an anti-drunk-driving message within a pop context). The most consistent factor of Brenda K. Starr is, in fact, Starr, who gives honorable energy and vitality to each number -- rising above the weaker moments. Musically, the album's stronghold lies in its exploration of several subgenres: freestyle; smooth, mid-tempo R&B straightforward club sounds; and radio-friendly pop. That wasn't the case with her 1985 debut album, I Want Your Love; but it can also be argued that the latter had a rawer, less polished quality that made it more endearing at times.
