A passionate pop album that combines soul and disco
This album, a collaboration between Leo Sayer and Arif Mardin, features a mix of danceable beats and soulful vocals. Featuring tracks such as "Thunder In My Heart," it has also been praised in the context of AOR and disco pop.
The opening title track, "Thunder In My Heart," features Leo Sayer's taut high notes blending seamlessly into the beat, creating an emotionally uplifting feel. The album blends AOR-esque sophistication with soulful intensity, and the emotional vocals of the mid-tempo ballads add depth to the track. Arif Mardin's production arrangements are spot-on, creating a fine example of how American-inspired pop sounds are combined with a British flair. This track has been remixed and re-released as a hit, making it a timeless masterpiece that seamlessly transcends the boundaries between pop and disco.
