The Very Best of Robert Palmer

The Very Best of Robert Palmer (1997) more music like this

by Robert Palmer

Despite my (yet rationalized) fondness for his 1980 electro-pop hit "Johnny and Mary" (included here), the 16-track collection The Very Best of Robert Palmer mostly leaves me cold. Palmer has the tools, but the mechanicals lack potency and soul. Still, if combining mid-'80s hits like "Addicted to Love" and "Simply Irresistible" with a whiff of ...

Riptide

Riptide (1985) more music like this

by Robert Palmer

Coming on the heels of the massive success of the Power Station, Riptide packages Robert Palmer's voice and suave personality into a commercial series of mostly rocking songs that seem custom-tailored to be chart hits. The Power Station connection threatens to overpower Palmer's usually more eclectic musical interest, but with that band's producer ...

Glitter

Glitter (2001) more music like this

by Mariah Carey

It wasn't supposed to be this way. Mariah Carey's first album for Virgin Records was supposed to be a triumph, an album that confirmed her status as pop's reigning diva, while serving as the soundtrack to a film that proved her crossover status was every bit as potent as that of her unexpected arch-rival Jennifer Lopez. Instead, Glitter proved to ...

Greatest Hits

Greatest Hits (2005) more music like this

by Cherrelle

The most needed component in a 2004/2005 rejuvenation of the Tabu label, following anthologies from the S.O.S. Band and Alexander O'Neal, Greatest Hits improves upon 1995's The Best of Cherrelle with better sound and a more generous track listing. All seven -- only seven? -- of her charting singles are joined by six of the stronger album cuts, all ...

Best of Both Worlds: The Robert Palmer Anthology (1974-2001)

Best of Both Worlds: The Robert Palmer Anthology (1974-2001) (2002) more music like this

by Robert Palmer

There are usually thought to be two phases to Robert Palmer's career: an earlier one running from 1974 to 1983, when he explored New Orleans second-line funk and reggae, backed by members of Little Feat and the Meters and turned out a series of critically acclaimed, modestly successful recordings, and a later one, from 1985 on, when he rode his ...

Addictions, Vol. 2

Addictions, Vol. 2 (1992) more music like this

by Robert Palmer

Apart from "I Didn't Mean to Turn You On," there are no big hits on Addictions, vol. 2, only album tracks and failed singles, all of which are quite good. Many of the tracks have been remixed, remade, or have new vocal tracks. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

Fragile

Fragile (1984) more music like this

by Cherrelle

The Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis connection scored with Cherrelle's debut, most notably on the second track, "I Didn't Mean to Turn You On," which scored as a Top Ten R&B hit. It was later covered by Robert Palmer and his backing band of ambiguous women, and was turned into an instant smash on MTV. But that's neither here nor there -- Cherrelle brings ...

Hypnotized

Hypnotized (2005) more music like this

by Colette

There's no question that Colette is something unusual in the world of dance music. One of the few (and first) female DJs to combine live singing with her DJ sets, and one of very few DJs with experience on the operatic stage, Colette brings both a unique background and unique skills to her work on the ones and twos. One might have expected ...

The Very Best of the Island Years

The Very Best of the Island Years (2005) more music like this

by Robert Palmer

Island's 2005 compilation The Very Best of the Island Years is a near-perfect single-disc overview of Robert Palmer's stint at Island Records, which ran from 1974's Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley to 1985's Riptide. This is regarded by fans and critics alike as his peak creative period, and it also contained his best-known hits, including 1978's ...

Om: Miami (2006) more music like this

by Various Artists

The average house compilation is more about function than art: the beats are simple and straightforward, and are all about compelling you onto the floor, while the lyrics (if there are any) stick with tried and true clichés about getting one's love into motion and feeling the sunshine and putting it out there, etc. But the Om label has shown a ...

Currently based in San Francisco, DJ Julius Papp grew up in Montreal, and pays tribute to his home base with the title of this new two-disc set. The first disc is a DJ mix of club and house tracks taken from the catalogs of Salted Music and Om, while the second consists of original music and remixes culled from the Papp back catalog.

Ultimate Collection (2003) more music like this

by Robert Palmer

There's a lot of great music here, but "ultimate"? The world still awaits the "ultimate" Robert Palmer collection, since none have included tracks from his early band Vinegar Joe, or outtakes, or anything from the second Power Station album, which was a lot better than you probably remember (if you actually got to hear it). Released in 2002, Best ...

Body + Soul: Blue Lights in the Basement (2006) more music like this

by Various Artists

Most of the tracks on Body & Soul: Blue Lights in the Basement aren't nearly mellow or romantic enough to be appropriate for a blue-light party. If you can disregard the misleading title, the content cannot be debated: Loose Ends' "Hangin' on a String (Contemplating)," the System's "You Are in My System," the S.O.S. Band's "Take Your Time (Do It ...
