Free Music Notes for Jazz & '80s: The Coolest and Sexiest Songbook of the Eighties
Free Music Review: Vapid covers, all in a lounge style
Hit: 2 Stars
Imagine you're attending a sales convention in a moderately large american city, circa about 1989, and you wander into the hotel lounge and there is a reasonably talented combo playing hits of the day at a leisurely tempo (in fact, all at more or less the same tempo), with a female vocalist of limited range and power singing lightly into the microphone. That's what this music sounds like, pretty much every track. There is very little of what I think of as "jazz" in it. Little improvisation or different keys, meters or tempos. This is "lite jazz" at best. Maybe "lite bossa nova" is even more accurate. The first track manages to hold up, since the lyrics support a seductive sex-kittenish treatment. After that, it was extremely vapid. Take the ostinato out of With or Without You, slow it down and whisper it and what do you have? A mediocre featureless cover. When they took a cocktail lounge number like In the Air Tonight and made it even more "lounge," it was more than I could take. And the singer on Purple Rain sounds like a 6th-grader reading off a lyric sheet ("purple rain, purple rain ... purple rain, purple rain .. purple rain, purple RAIN."). That version would make any list of worst covers of all time. Well, convention's over, time to pay up and get to the airport.
