Reviews
- Edited 5 years agoAn absolute classic in every sense of the word, with a "feel good" stamp adding to its socially aware contents.
Yazz was a true breath of fresh air in the year 1988, at the time when the omnipresent Stock Aitken Waterman dominated the pop charts with their trademark upbeat but just as washed-down-the-drain chart topping formula based on commercial success rather than originality, which many sadly followed to score an instant hit.
A saviour record in that sense, "Wanted" may seem only slightly "dated" due to the naive nature of its lyrics, but then again such idealism in the lyrics and the effortless delivery make for a winning combination - its message still relevant and sadly the world hadn't learned a thing from it since ("Systematic People", "Got to Share", "Stand Up For Your Love Rights"or "Where Has All the Love Gone?", to name a few - openly stand against violence, prejudice and bigotry); Yazz herself moved on from a soulful acid-house diva to a soulful born-again Christian diva, finding her own peace.
With a voice soaring and flowing through like the finest red wine, and an eclectic dream team mix of collaborators (The FON Force, Youth, The Beatmasters and Coldcut), "Wanted" guarantees returns for repeated listening. There is not a weak track on this collection, and as one particular amazing number from it says - it truly is SOMETHING SPECIAL.
And despite the whole world tumbling down, it's never too late to learn. Turn it up! 
does anyone received the replacement disc of CD3, promised by cherry red?
or is this a fake news?
