Release Notes:
Released after 1984's Don't Stop, Emotional finds Osborne
working with a myriad of producers with mixed results.
Although this effort is overly slick with poor song choices
and barely there vocals, Osborne suffered no commercial
repercussions and had another a high selling album. The
biggest hit here -- "You Should Be Mine (The Woo Woo Song)" --
has the perky '80s synth overload matched with threadbare
lyrics. Although it's worth a good belly laugh to hear Osborne
repeatedly sing, "Can you woo, woo, woo," sonically it's one
of the more irritating hits from the '80s. Emotional is not
exactly a work of cohesion, and it's reminiscent of Whitney
Houston with its use of multiple producers and pop material.
Frequent Houston collaborator Michael Masser co wrote "In Your
Eyes" with Dan Hill, but despite Osborne's strong vocal, the
song comes off flat. Richard Perry, who produced "You Should
Be Mine (The Woo Woo Song)" also was behind the boards for the
maddening pap of "Room with a View" and the title track.
George Duke, who was the producer of the three Osborne efforts
previous to this, produced and co-wrote the pretty "Second
Chance." The song is proof that Duke's style suited Osborne's
voice the best. Osborne himself produced three tracks
including the synth dog-bark filled "Love's Not Ready" and the
overly dramatic "Come Midnight."
