| In 1985, movie star and influential live comedian Eddie Murphy took a |
| risk and released a serious, all-music effort. Despite his best |
| intentions, How Could It Be is often marred by its lack of great |
| material, and Murphy's voice is thin and often lacking control. |
| Although Murphy's will is strong, at this point he didn't possess the |
| chops. |
| |
| The best thing about How Could It Be is his distillation of |
| influences and established artists who assumed production and writing |
| duties. "C-O-N Confused" nicely updates the mid-'70s Al Green |
| up-tempo Memphis sound. The poignant title ballad has Murphy mining |
| genuine drama. "Party All the Time," written and produced by Rick |
| James, has Murphy simply along for the ride, benefiting from one of |
| James' best synth-based hooks. Some of the other songs aren't so |
| successful. The well-meaning, vaguely Beatlesque pop of "My God Is |
| Colorblind" and the jazzy and pensive "I Wish I Could Tell You When" |
| essentially fail due to the vocals. |
| |
| Murphy brings out the heavy artillery to close the album out. Stevie |
| Wonder, who produced and wrote "Do I," also gave Murphy a true gem, |
| "Everything's Coming Up Roses." The track has Murphy sounding more |
| polished, and would have been more than comfortable on Wonder's In |
| Square Circle. |
| |
| How Could It Be does offer some solid tracks, but more often it |
| displays a singer with potential and not much more. |
