2 stars Judging by the album title and song names, it could turn out to be a conceptual album. Since I never pay attention to the lyrics and focus solely on music, I can say that there isn't any concept included in music here. The only sign of musical concept is at the very start - a nice upbeat funky instrumental called "Overture".

What follows is a typical mixture of mid-tempo pop R&B numbers and ballads. You can hear more importance set on production as opposed to natural instruments from the past. Vocals have become the centerfield of songs, be it Duke or guest vocalists. The result is a typical 80's well-produced R&B set that will please your ears as it's undemanding and soothing.
