The irresistible,radiant opener "Feel so good (it must be wrong)" is such optimistic,wonderfully positive and well,feel-good number that it makes you wonder why it wasn't huge success of Gloria Gaynor/Donna Summer style.
Robinson was delightfully mad singer who liked to improvise from the top of her head and although I like her best in uptempo numbers,she obviously saw herself as some kind of Patty LaBelle and cluttered her albums with overlong ballads that stretch our patience to the limits.
To be honest,this is by far superior to her previous two albums because as collection of songs,it is not so uneven - everything goes smoothly and even ballads are not so boring as before. Trademark congas are still here,Robinson sings like madcap (as usual) and there are even some unexpected rock guitars in the title song,pointing at unexplored directions.
Very good album from the golden age of disco era.
