专辑介绍：
by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Lionel Richie's solo career began while he was still in
the Commodores
, as he wrote and sang (as a duet with
Diana Ross
) the theme to the
Brooke Shields
romance Endless Love, which became a bigger hit than any of thegroup's singles, thereby setting the stage for his departure andhis 1982 self-titled solo debut. He wasn't working in unfamiliarterritory, or with new musicians.
The Commodores
decided to work as their own band, so their producer,
James Anthony Carmichael
, was able to devote his energy to working on Richie's album. Usingthe pop-crossover ballad style of &Endless Love,&&Three Times a Lady,& and &Easy& as their template,the duo turned Lionel Richie into a sleek, state-of-the-art recordthat, at its best, provides some irresistible pop pleasures. Thekey to its success -- and the reason it was scorned by some
Commodores
fans -- is that Richie doesn't even make a pretense of funk here,leaving behind the loose, elastic grooves of his previous bands (amove that makes sense, since his voice never suited that styleparticularly well), choosing to concentrate on ballads and sparklymid-tempo pop, peppered with a few stylish dance grooves. Theballads, of course, provided two big hits with &My Love&and &Truly,& two numbers that illustrate that he was movingever-closer to mainstream pop, since these are unapologetic AORslow-dance tunes. The other big hit, &You Are,& is aneffervescent, wonderful pop tune that showcases Richie at hissunniest; it's one of his greatest singles. Throughout the firstpart of the record, the dance numbers are served up and they'revery good -- &Serves You Right& has a shiny, propulsivegroove, while &Tell Me& jams nicely. After &YouAre,& the record bogs down with a couple of ballads that are onthe wrong side of adult contemporary -- too formless, too hooklessto really catch hold -- but they don't hurt the first seven songs,which form a dynamic mainstream pop-soul record, one of the bestthe early '80s had to offer. It's the sound of Lionel Richiefinding his solo voice, and, the next time out, he knew how to useit even better than he does here. [The 2003 reissue of LionelRichie includes two bonus tracks: a solo demo of &EndlessLove& which not only fits perfectly with this record, but isless cloying, and an instrumental of &You Are& whoseprimary worth is to hear the detail and expertise in the productionRichie and
