Negative Positive
Title: One great song. One good one. But the rest?
Review: Mention the word "Sabrina" to the average listener in the United States, and most likely you'll get a blank stare followed by a "who?" But in Europe, she's an Italian performer whose sex appeal and body curves helped her achieve a string of modest dance pop hits in the late 1980s. "Boys" compiles those singles with a few remixes. The obvious higlights are the title track and "All of Me," which is three-and-a-half minutes of dance pop bliss by writers/producers Stock Aitken Waterman. Elsewhere, though, the CD falls apart--and fast. The production on many of the remaining tracks is embarrassingly dated, which wouldn't matter if Sabrina could actually sing (she can't). Stock Aitken Waterman fans will want to pick up "Boys" for "All of Me," but there's not much else to recommend to casual listeners.
