I cannot understand I can’t get back the love being described as a gorgeous production. I have always felt it was a hot mess. I seriously question the sanity of them putting it out after the Friday meeting. It starts off with those discordant horns that sound like they’re about to be opening an old grave or something, I think the record has too many fits and starts and meanders around. All of that being said, the chorus is gorgeous, and her vocal is exquisite. Every time I hear this record, I think “Gordy was right, this should’ve been the voice for the new Supremes . “Not taking anything away from Jean, but wow. I think the nucleus for a great record is here, but I just can’t imagine getting any adds at all on the strength of the chorus alone.
I prefer Ross’ Production, but it still sounds like an album cut that should be reworked into a single. I have to say I prefer Syreeta’s vocal, Although ross’ is fine.
