Amii Stewart Reissue edition

Digitally remastered edition of this 1983 release, the fifth solo album from the R&B vocalist. This self-titled release includes hit single Working Late Tonight as well as covers of two songs from Donna Summers unreleased 1981 album: Im A Rainbow. An eclectic album set worthy of far more attention than its very limited release received, this self-titled set shows Stewart to be a stunningly subtle and thoroughly soulful vocalist capable of much more than a generic disco singer. The album sees Amii work superbly with producer and arranger Simon Boswell who pinpoints a nice tone of understatement that fits the chanteuse like a glove. This is gorgeously highlighted in the sly, mid-tempo piece Dont Ask Me Why; the catchy, glowing Nobody But Me; and the soothing closing ballad Once Again, to name a few. Its primarily the ballads and low-key numbers here that do the trick. Released by RCAs Italian arm only in Europe, Amii Stewart is a solid collectors item worth seeking for any fan of the singers angelic voice.
