Amazingly consistent production from track to track on this album. Reggie Lucas found a sound he liked, and that’s not easy. “Everybody”, the one track produced by Mark Kamins sounds drastically different. It being the track which earned her a record deal, the difference is particularly striking. The record label must have felt they dodged a bullet when she came back with songs like “Borderline” and “Physical Attraction”.
In this day, it seems pop albums specifically pursue sonic diversity. It’s common to see five or six featured artists on a hip-hop album, or even on a pop album, to the extent there’s a difference any more. At least two or three producers have generally worked on a given collection, often on each song so that you might have twelve different spoons in the sonic pot. Mixing is always handled by yet more people.
I’ve always loved the guitar playing on this music, beyond the obviously awesome bass and drums.
