most of us recognize this as one of the weaker albums in her career. yet it contains a couple of songs that are remarkable - You Were the One and Never Say I Don't Love You.
but the record is all over the place - disco [[some decent, some not), big-time ballads, remixes of old tunes.
seems like Greg Wright [[producer of YWTO and NSIDLY) only did a few tracks with her, not a whole album. should he have just done it all? he also did Share Some Love on the To Love Again EE
was disco the right genre? should she have gone more pop?
in 1978 you of course had tons of disco with Sat Night Fever still hitting the charts plus other artists getting in on that. you had Grease being huge. but some rock and pop was still making the charts - Steely Dan with Peg and Deacon Blues, meatloaf, Because the night, hot blooded, Queen. and funk with parliament, rufus.
would a pop album like BIM done better in 78? or a follow up album with Perry?
