Laura Branigan
's third album capitalized on the Euro-dance-pop and affecting ballads that made her an international star while allowing her to grow as a vocalist. Her collections, always uneven in terms of material, benefit mostly from her stellar voice, and this is no exception.
"The Lucky One"
and
"Heart"
start slow and build to a crescendo, perfectly showcasing her range without being obvious. The title track, about finding sex in the seamy side of town, sparked a bit of a controversy, but ended up being her second biggest hit. The song itself works, but
Branigan
was never a sex bomb, so the fact that she pulls it off is indicative of her power as a performer.
"Ti Amo"
is the album's theatrical ballad, which works well with breathy, dramatic vocals. She even pulls off a graceful cover of
"Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow"
that is clear and simple, while
"Breaking Out"
"Take Me"
are perfect examples of synthesizer-driven '80s dance ditties. The only slow moments come with
"Silent Partners"
"With Every Beat of My Heart,"
and that's not because they're ballads. The production bogs them down, and the lyrics are so pedestrian, you won't find yourself moved by them except to skip to the next song. ~ Bryan Buss
