Title: Diana's worst
Review: Diana had hit rock bottom musically in the late 80s. Her 1987 album Red Hot Rhythym and Blues was a flop, and this album, an attempt to stay trendy and youthful, did even worse.In my opinion, it's Diana's worst album. Diana tries her best but producer Nile Rodgers surrounds her voice with hip-hop/R&B; beats that sounded dated even in 1989. By this time, Rodgers had peaked as a producer. The magic that he brought to Chic projects and to albums by singers such as David Bowie and Madonna was no longer there.The title track is not bad, and the single "Paradise" is actually much better in its remix version. But there's not much else to recommend.Thankfully, Diana's albums in the 90s showed a re-energized Diana, particularly "Take Me Higher" and "Every Day is a New Day". Those are excellent albums and I recommend those over this dreary collection.
