Customer Reviews

The album that introduced me to this great songstress. (2003-06-11)

This was the album that introduced me to Angela's music and it was also the start of a musiocal love affair that continues to this day. With such ever-beautiful songs as "You Should Know By Now", "Only Love", "Tropical Love" and especially "Break It To Me Gently" Angela became my very favorite female singer. This reissue contains four bonus tracks (including "Love Light" and "Rhythm Of Your Mind"). Although the Japanese import reissue's sound quality IS better, you really should get this one (or both if you can afford it!).

Solid album, though the jazz is long gone... (2003-05-19)

Though the latin and jazz influences that laced "Angie" and "Angel of the Night" are pretty much gone, "Something About You" is still a throughly enjoyable album. It's mellow, supple soul with a little pop thrown in - a true testament to the budding production prowess of Narada Michael Walden. While I liked the jazzy feel of her GRP work, this album really should not have alienated jazz folks the way it did. Had they taken the time to listen, they would have found quite a bit to savor. From the chugging funk of the title track, to the floating rhythms of "Tropical Love," there are plenty of solid tracks here. She does a sparkling rendition of the Stylistics' "Stop Look Listen" that is just as good as her take on "People Make the World Go Round" from "Angel." There are four bonus tracks tacked onto the end. There is a Spanish take on "Holding Out for Love," and a charming duet with Walden called "Never Wanna Be Without Your Love" that was not included in the original album. The best part of this reissue are the two tracks dug up from the "Angel" sessions. "Love Light" is a gorgeous jazzy-soul tune, much like "Angel of the Night" or "Baby I Need Your Love." I suspect it's the same session players from most of that album. "Rhythm of Your Mind," from the same sessions, also shows off her nimble phrasing and fine songwritng. So overall, this is a good album, even though it goes beyond jazz contexts. It's good early-80s soul from a fantastic singer.

Looking Back- This is a strong collection of songs! (2003-03-08)

The first song I heard off of this beautifulalbum is "You Should Know By Now" around '81in my teens. I can say without a doubt thisalbum is one of her strongest collections. Theonly dud was "Holding Out For Love." It's asong made for "Flashdance" not Angela. I alsoloved the newly unearthed "Lovelight" which isa holdover from the "Angel of The Night" sessions.

Something About Angie! (2002-07-19)

This is another great re-issue by Arista. There are a few photos included of live concert shots at the time that were not included on the original release. There are also 4 bonus tracks which is a bonus! David Nathan wrote about about this CD and Angela. most of it was informative, but a little inacurate. The bonus track Never Wanna Live Without Your Love a duet with Narada Michael Walden was originally released on his Atlantic LP and Japan CD Import Looking At You, Looking At Me. This CD version is a more watered down version but very similar to that of it's original release. This CD was also released in Japan without the bonus tracks. The follow up to this CD was not Teaser, it was Too Tough which brought Angie to higher popularity. The title song was big in the clubs at the time, 1983. That CD is also available in Japan, but hopefully Arista will release it next with bonus tracks. She did some vocals on Dave Valentine's LP's and it would be nice to hear some of those again!

There are great songs on here including the hits Someething About You, Break It To Me Gently and Holdin Out For Love (also in Spanish as a bonus track). There are also popular radio and concert favoritess like Tropical Love, You Should Know By Now and Time To Say Goodbye. Other highlights include a remake of Stop Look Listen (To Your Heart), Only Love and a Michael Jackson-ish I Do Love You.
