WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT: A compact selection of a short-term hit maker that seems to have faded from view.
SOME WORDS, PHRASES AND CLAUSES ABOUT THIS RECORD: 1987 was the year of Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam. Their 1985 debut (credited with Full Force as well), was a minor hit until “All Cried Out” became a smash. Then “Head to Toe” and “Lost in Emotion” hit #1 and they were huge in that one year.
Two more records came and went, and while there was a couple of great tracks (“Let the Beat Hit ‘Em” and “Something ‘Bout Love” (not a single!)), they fizzled out.
There’s nothing revolutionary about Lisa Lisa – they were typical late 80’s pop hitmakers in the dance / R&B style. Just put this one and remember, remember, remember.
NOTES & MINUTIAE: Full Force was a band and a production team that wrote the first three records for the group and half of the last one.
IS THERE A DELUXE VERSION: No
GRADE: B-: Well crafted 80’s dance pop that’s good for short nostalgic bursts.
