Jammin to Patrice!!!,
By
This review is from: Straight from the Heart (Audio CD)
Patrice is the best!!. I bought this cd along with her greatest hits. This cd really shines. I am only 18 years old. This cd came out 3 years before my time. When i bought the cd I was truly amazed. Of course, I liked the hit " Forget Me Nots" ( this song will never become old, I jam every time I hear it) but there are also other favorites of mine on here also such as: I Was Tired of Being Alone, All We Need, Where there is love( a true gem) and my favorite, favorite that was never released as a single according to my research , " Remind Me". A true classic!

BREAKOUT!!!!!,
By
This review is from: Straight from the Heart (Audio CD)
"Straight From The Heart" is for the most part synthesized,uptempo and very contemporary but Patrice's appealing mixture of keyboards and live musicians make this album a through and though delight!"Forget Me Nots" does really some up much of this album's sound with "I Was Tired Of Being Alone",the Stevie Wonder-like "All We Need" and the instrumental "Number One" being in the same vein."Breakout" is a clavinet-driven funk-rock ditty while the wistfully jazzy "If Only" and the nearly acoustic ballad "Remind Me" and the more electric slow groove "Where Is the Love" offer a change of pace.12" remixes are added to make this interesting to collectors but if you want to get into Patrice Rushen this is WITHOUT QUESTION where to go first!

Criminally Underrated, But Terrific!!,
By WILLIE A YOUNG II "willow" (Houston, TX.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Straight from the Heart (Audio CD)
This is a classic soul LP that is just this side of flawless (some of the production is dated) but it is also a classic that somehow got lost since it was released just months before the Jackson Juggernaut known as "Thriller". While Rushen had been a regular fixture on the Soul/R&B charts since the late 70's, "Straight From The Heart" was her first real pop crossover success and it's easy to see why; the hits are here in all their glory "Forget Me Not's" (this song will NEVER sound old)the full length version of "Remind Me" complete with it's jazzy, cymbal accented intro and electric piano solo, and the positively gorgeous "Where There Is Love", possibly the prettiest melody she's ever composed. The closer, "(She Will)Take You Down To Love" is a stunning, acoustic guitar driven ballad with a hint of danger that nicely rounds out this classic. If you can find it, get the original 9 song LP (I own 2 copies) since the 12" versions don't really enhance the album. This is a brisk pleasure from start to finish.
