Free Music Notes for Reputation & Rarities Album
Free Music Review: Dusty Springfield and Pet Shop Boys.
Hit: 4 Stars
The late Dusty Springfield first collaborated with Pet Shop Boys on the 1987 hit "What Have I Done to Deserve This," which marked a huge comeback for the seasoned veteran pop singer. Three years later, they collaborated again on the album "Reputation," which features 5 tracks produced by PSB. Since its 1990 release, much of "Reputation" remains fresh, and Springfield's gusty voice gives these songs a personality of their own. Great moments can be found in the elegantly produced ballad "Nothing Has Been Proved" (featuring lush orchestral arrangements by Angelo Badalamenti and a sax solo from Courtney Pine), the I'm-having-an-affair-with-a-married-man tale in the brilliant "In Private" and the mid-tempo "Daydreaming." I happen to be a huge Pet Shop Boys fan, but that doesn't mean that they steal the entire show on this album. Dusty holds her own admirably in the Dan Hartman-produced "Send it to Me" as well as the title track helmed by Andy Richards. On the remastered version of "Reputation," we get a few additional tracks, including the full length 12 inch version of "In Private" (a Top Twenty hit in her native UK). Tragically, Dusty lost a long battle to cancer in 1999, but "Reputation" is one of many albums that proves that she was among England's most respected and revered singers.
