Reviews

misterchirp Oct 5, 2019
Somewhat forgettable album, good vocalists though. I Hear Talk and Let's Get Busy are probably the strongest songs. Features actor/singer/dancer Michael DeLorenzo on the first track Let's Get Busy. Track 2 Toy was later ripped off for Italian dance group Corona's song Try Me Out. Track 6 I Hear Talk is a cover, previously recorded and released as a single in 1984 by English group Bucks Fizz. A couple of tracks (2 and 9) were written and produced by Brown Mark from Prince's band The Revolution. Track 3 was co-written and produced by Bobby Sandstrom, brother of Renee Sandstrom from Kids Incorporated and Wild Orchid.
