| It's No Wonder This Album Went Platinum!
This album, the BIGGEST SELLING album of Teena Marie's career next to "It Must Be Magic," finds the pioneer writer, composer, arranger and producer at an interesting crossroads; one in which a more rock-influenced sound is explored and executed to great results. With the opening smash, "Lovergirl" anchoring one end of this very important release, we are taken through more similar harder-edged, Funk meets Rock-influenced tunes in the creepy "Help Youngblood Get to the Freaky Party," the desperate, "Out on A Limb," which would be this album's 3rd single and then later go on to become a Quiet Storm Format classic and the frantic "Alibi." The rest of the CD finds us in an R&B friendlier place, however, the rock influence is still very evident in the 2nd and 3rd singles, "Jammin'" and "Surrealistic Pillow," which sounds very Prince-like. A classic boy-girl duet is featured in "We've Got to Stop Meeting like This" w/Ronnie McNeir (a very gifted vocalist)that recalls something that may have appeared on Ashford & Simpson's marvellous "Street Opera" from 2 years prior in a very well-crafted, tender love ballad. Closing out this awesome recording is "Light," a short, sweet and just as empowering little Gospel hymn a la Lady Tee. This CD is REQUIRED LISTENING for anyone wishing to acquaint themselves with the "Epic" stage of our beloved Ivory Queen of R&B and Soul from 1984.

| a classic teena marie album from the 80's
I remember this album back in the late 80's and enjoying the one song I had liked so much was "we've got to stop meeting like this" when one of my family members had the original vinyl LP back then. I purchased this title on cd back in late 2000 and sort of took myself back in time to when I had enjoyed listening to the particular song that I loved so much when I was little.
