简介:  "The Camera Never Lies" is full on synth pop. The title track features a harmony vocal by Art Garfunkel, "Face To Face" is a nice upbeat opener, I had trouble convincing a dear freind of mine "I Surrender" is really a good song, "just listen to it a couple times, it´ll grow on you." She never got it. "Island Life" was a video subject, it got some airplay on VH1. "Now You´re In My Dreams" was played on radio and Patti Austin is a great partner for Michael on this song, it really deserved more attention than it ultimately recieved. "Lip Service" is Michael at his wordplay best, "Doctor Sax" has a similar arrangement as "Queen Of The Underground" from the previous release "Skin Dive," which was two years prior to this album´s release. "Doctor Sax" centers around a blistering sax solo, it tells a tale of a grease monkey by day, sax player at night. What is Michael if not fantasy? The final track, "Innuendo," is a beautiful song featuring accoustic guitar, a departure from the rest of this album. Some believe this is a routine release, a floater album. Michael does sound very at ease here, but I feel this album, as with all Michael´s albums, are far from routine, it´s a great body of work.
