ブレンダ・ラッセル (アルバム)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ブレンダ・ラッセルにとって、ブライアン&ブレンダ・ラッセル名義のセカンド・アルバム『Supersonic Lover』以来、2年ぶりのリリースとなり、ソロとしては初のアルバム[1]。
トミー・リピューマのホライズン・レコードと契約し、レーベルの女性第一弾としてデビューした。
前作にも全面的に参加していたルーファス (バンド)のアンドレ・フィッシャーが音楽プロデューサーとして参加し、ルーファスのロン・ストッカート、ヒートのトム・サビアーノ、シーウィンドのラリー・ウィリアムズやジェリー・ヘイなど多くのミュージシャンとセッションしている。
リリース後にホライズン・レコードが閉鎖されたため、親元のA&Mレコードに移籍、本作の再発盤もA&Mレコードからリリースされた。
コーラスでチャカ・カーン、ドナ・サマーが参加しているが契約の関係でクレジットされていない[2]。
