What is it about this album? I think it's great. It was supposed to be a great comeback after the relative letdown of "Love Somebody Today". It has it: soul, pop, and funk. Every track could have been a top 10 hit. It had energy and youthful vibrancy. The energy level never let up. the tracks were crossfaded and butt-edited to make the ride endless. The message of the title track was powerful, and the singing was excellent. It was producer, writer, and jazz/funk drummer Narada Michael Walden's first attempt at producing female artists, and was mixed and mastered for success, almost to the point of distortion. So, what happened?

Was the problem four Black women singing about being "all American girls"? Was it too pop? Was it not properly marketed to pop radio, or R&B radio? Was it just a victim of the disco backlash?
