A work filled with gorgeous groove and positive energy
A funk/soul album by Narada Michael Walden. A positive album with a sophisticated sound that weaves a light groove and gorgeous horn arrangements, and bright, expansive vocals.
Narada's producer-like sensibility permeates the entire album, skillfully blending elements of soul and pop into a funk-based sound, resulting in arrangements that combine the lightness and depth of the '80s. Tracks like "Victory" and "I Don't Want Nobody Else (To Dance With You)" beautifully combine dance floor-friendly compositions with rich choral work. His drumming is tight and groovy, injecting vitality into the entire performance. Filled with hope and positive energy, this is a masterpiece that encapsulates the exhilaration of '80s funk.
