When I was 14, hating the song 'The Only Way Is Up', I found Wanted - the vinyl album - in a record store where it was, I think, 4 quid. Eventually the record itself got wrecked and thrown away, but recently I heard a question about 'The Only Way Is Up' when watching TV show The Office, and decided I had to hear it after more than 16 years since I first heard it. I got the CD.

It's as good as I remember it, but a few years as a recording artist have tuned my ears to good production, and this IS good production. The songs are also good. Definitely a worthwhile buy for those into chilled-out electro tunes.

If there ever was a successor to Donna Summer's attempts with 'I Feel Love', then Yazz would certainly fit the bill fighting down any of her contemporary rivals. 'Wanted' is a stunning record and among teen terrors of 1988 it came a freshly saviour to our hearts and minds. Combining strict electronic and hip hop rhythms with clubbing and jazz efforts, wrapped up by Yazz's beautiful fragile voice, at times a bit naive in lyrical content mixing social statements with musical consciousness, 'Wanted' still sound fresh and inspiring today. It's a shame it now remains a bit forgotten, occasionally reflecting a mere memory with 'The only Way Is Up'. And it was definitely not meant to be that one hit. The record itself is something of a greatest hits collection. Highly recommended. 5/5
