Free Music Review: Dusty Rocks!
Hit: 5 Stars
We can only thank The Pet Shop Boys for calling Dusty to do their 1988 #2 hit "What Have I Done To Deserve This?". Because, without their call, Dusty might not of gotten back in the music game. Out of the success of working with the guys and the mega success of the song on both sides of the atlantic(it hit #2 in the UK as well), this CD was born. The Pet Shop Boys, also known as Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe wrote 4 songs on this 1990 comeback album for Dusty. Not only that, but they also produced those 4 songs and a fifth one too. The first track they wrote and produced is the sixth track, "In Private". This is a real club room stomper. It's insanely catchy and makes you want to move your feet. The second was "Daydreaming". It has the usual tecno beat expected from them, and Dusty's vocals were perfect, but it's a song that doesn't go anywhere and never clicks with the listener. The third was "Nothing Has Been Proved". This goes along with the previous song because it never really hooks you in. Expertly done and sang of course, but you will probably push the skip button. The fourth and final track was called "Occupy Your Mind". Another one like the last two. It has the odd sounding music, and the vocals, no fault of Dusty's, don't go anywhere. There is also a bonus re-mix cut of "In Private" at the end that goes on for about two in a half minutes longer or so than the original version. The other songs here fare much better than the last few. The opening song, "Reputation", starts up and gets going and tells you what kind of a listen you are in for. "Send It To Me" is another fun, up tempo track that makes you shake your feet. A lot of fun. "Arrested By You" is a real pretty song. One of the best ballads Dusty has done in the last decade(rivaling 1986's "Something In Your Eyes"). She sounds great and it's just haunting and pretty. "Time Waits For No One" is a crowd pleasing club type song. Not a favorite, but catchy enough. We come to my favorite. It's the fifth song on the CD and it's called "Born This Way". We have never heard Dusty this way. Never. It's a real rollicking dance/rock song that starts fast and never stops until it's finished. It's a song that seemed destined to be recorded by Dusty. Outstanding!. There is a hint of old Dusty when she records an old Carole King/Gerry Coffin song called "I Want To Stay Here". It's jazzed up a bit to sound more modern and to go with the consistency of the album. It sounds great. You also get 4 extra tracks on here that wasn't on the original release. Except for the re-mix I mentioned earlier, the other three are all ballads. Only one of them, "Any Other Fool", is really good. It sounds like a classic modern day Dusty love ballad. "When Love Turns Blue" and "Getting It Right", the remaining two, are not without charm, but don't leave an impression. All in all, this is an exceptionally fun CD. It's unlike any album Dusty has ever recorded in her incredible career. It seems as if Dusty was born to sing these jamming dance/club like songs. She definitley fits it to a T, and knows how to work it to perfection, like every other thing she does. It's too bad she didn't record a whole lot after this, or did more dance stuff. She did say she didn't want to be a dance diva. I guess not. She is in impeccable voice here. But then again, when isn't she?. This is another piece of work that shows that Dusty can do or sing anything. She is, as I've said before, the best female singer ever. This is a lot of fun. Very entertaining.
