The fourty-fifth album: #45 Dusty Springfield - A Girl Called Dusty
It feels like, with this album, we have pop settling further. I can't really point this as being another genre, which it seems like I normally could do. Here they're just good songs. Not quite wall of sound, but with a nice bit of production surrounding Dusty Springfield's vocals.I believe she later moved more towards soul, which also shines through, but it feels like there is a bit too much production.
It sounds good - perhaps at times a bit more superficial as other artists become, but it becomes a good collection of songs, about love and others. Her rendition of You Don't Owe Me really stands out favourably here. It's less sweet, still sounding as well developed. It shows some extra range beyond what some of the more poppy songs are. On the whole, nothing stands out here as too different, but it's a really good pop album.
