Agree, “Shockwaves” is quite simply dreadful. I remember a review from Blues & Soul magazine that said “why does she continue to release such dreadful songs”. I wonder who was responsible in selecting such weak singles?.
Not quite as bad as “Girls”, but close to.
Well it sure as hell wasn't me who chose those singles! Whoever it was in all likelihood were relieved off their duties. I am not sure if she had any input. It's the sort of dross she would choose. There were some potential hits on that project.
I would have to concede that Girls was slightly more appalling than Shockwaves, but it should never have been recorded, let alone released as a single.
She did shoot a video. I have seen it. I didn't realise it was so rare. I cannot recall much about it due to having to adjust my ear plugs to ensure i could not hear the music. I am sure i have a copy of it somewhere. I shall attempt to unearth it when i am feeling better.
I understand why EMI UK chose Shockwaves; it was the album track most closest to Chain Reaction and that had been a number one hit. And then with a "hip" Shep Pettibone mix that might sound like a winner, on paper at least. Shockwaves is a fun song, but not much more than that, prrrr. I didn't do much for me as a teenager; I really preferred Shine and It's Hard for Me to Say [[the latter which got some airplay in the Netherlands just because of the Luther Vandross connection).
haha i like shockwaves too!
Blue I'm going to assemble a new RCA Greatest Hits cd just for you, my friend!
Turn me over [[as the opening track of course lol)
Girls
Shockwaves
There Goes My Baby
Why do fools
Fool for your love
I am me
Work That body [[12" mix)
Sweet nothings
I am me [[extended mix)
Nobody makes me crazy
note that i purposely include two versions of I Am Me :p
well i only included the songs i like. the ones i like that i KNOW i'm in the minority on lol there are others i agree are hideous - like Endless Love. hell i'm not a huge fan of the original with Lionel, due to being over played.
i might have included Children of the World. I don't really like that one but i have at least included on a playlist or two. when vacuuming or cleaning the house, sometimes it's fun to sing along to
plus i love to tweak Blue's nose on WDFFIL and SE lol
here's another question about I Am Me. i wonder what the ORIGINAL song was like and what Janie Bradford thought of the released version. apparently Diana took Janie's submission and then totally retooled it.
although we should at least credit Diana with having I Am Me as the flip to a song produced by MJ. everyone would have guessed that an MJ produced single would sell millions, and it did. and the producers/writers of the B side make just as much money. so Janie got a big pay out
Wait, there's a video for SHOCKWAVE? Is it a real storyline, or is it like the Mirror Mirror video?
Blue, thanks for the feedback.
