Session ace Lee Ritenour once more employs the cream of L.A.'s studio crop to come up with a drab, utterly unimaginative slab of nondescript pop. With guest vocalists likeEric TaggandBill Champlin(who also contribute as composers), Ritenour and his cohorts -- among themJeff Porcaro,Harvey Mason,David Foster,Alex Acuña, andRichard Tee-- craft a pristine sonic foray into early-'80s production styles without a memorable song in ten. This is especially exasperating considering that Ritenour had the audacity to coverSly Stone's"(You Caught Me) Smilin'" and murder it. Simply lifeless and dreadful.
