The pinnacle of urban funk with a sophisticated groove
A funk piece with a striking unity of rhythm and melody, the smooth chorus and light beat combine to create a composition that epitomizes the urban sound of the early '80s.
This album shows Rufus' maturity as a group. The tight combination of bass and drums creates a light and sophisticated groove that flows throughout. The horns and synths are meticulously placed, and the balance with the vocals is exquisite. The album's high level of performance shines through without being flashy, and it combines pop appeal with a funk structure. The ensemble is highly polished, and this album symbolizes the group's maturity.
