Free Music Review: A real party animal!!
Hit: 5 Stars

I owned this album on vinyl back in the 80s. Then, I was on a quest to acquire all Quincy Jones produced albums (George Benson, Michael Jackson, The Wiz, Brothers Johnson) after he'd produced the brilliant (in my opinion) eponymous album for Donna Summer in 1982.

Coincidentally, James Ingram appeared on that album, as part of the all star chorus to "State of independence" as well as duetting on "Mystery of love", an experience he mentions in his album liner notes.

Opening is the funky falsetto-sung "Party animal" with rabble rousing backing vocals set to a thumping beat. Other upbeat songs are the Jazzy "Try your love again", the horn sprinkled big band Stevie Wonder-like "One more rhythm" (it always reminded me of "Sir Duke"), the midtempo title track (a huge smash at parties in Nigeria back then, as well as more recently at my cousin's 80s themed birthday party last month), and my favourite, the upbeat Gospel duet with Michael McDonald (they sound so alike, as a kid I couldn't tell their voices apart), "Ya mo b there" (excellent synths and piano riff, with Ingram's outstanding owl-like hooting). The latter was a US top 20 hit and won a Grammy for best R&B performance by a duo or group.

The rest of the album comprises ballads, Ingram's forte; The awesome piano ballad "She loves me (the best that I can be)" (this song just absolutely speaks to me), "There's no easy way", and the simply outstanding duet with Patti Austin; "How do you keep the music playing". This sweeping cinematic piano ballad (it was used in a movie, "Best friends") features outstanding yearning vocals from the pair.

As with other albums produced by Q, the album is produced to a gleaming sheen with nothing left to chance. I'm glad I finally found this CD, it's almost like 1983 all over again...
