Seven years without an album,
Dash unsuccessfully attempted to revitalize her solo career with this humdrum set of light R&B fodder. It seems something goes awry in every turn made -- from vocals to songwriting to production.
Dash sounds unconvincing and relatively uninspired on tired tunes like the heavily produced "I Believed You," the generic "Mystery," and "Feel Good," a quasi-funk concoction. A cover of Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell's "You're All I Need to Get By" is notable, but, unfortunately,
Dash's performance quickly becomes overpowered by the presence of former cohort
Patti LaBelle on co-lead vocal. Fans interested in
Dash's post-
LaBelle output are far better off to seek out her late-'70s and early-'80s recordings on Kirshner. ~ Justin M. Kantor
