Title: A super sequel
Review: A lovely album, not quite as good as the original which is one of my favourite albums, but still a superb pop album. Barbra's voice is still as good as it was on Guilty, while Barry's songs, while not up to his late 70's peak are still way above most of what is currently sold as pop music.Criticisms that Barbra is best singing 'classic' songs miss the point. There are plenty of Barbra albums with classic musical and movie songs, we don't need more versions of the same, we want new stuff as well. I couldn't believe the comments of a 'top 100 reviewer' who claimed a good knowledge of music in the 70's and yet couldn't think of a single classic song that Barry had written - Woman in Love, Islands in the Stream, Heartbreaker are all classics (and that's ignoring Bee Gees songs). I'm sure in time some of these songs will become classics too.Many thanks to Barbra and Barry for this album it's made a fan of both very happy
