Release Notes:
Angela Bofill enjoyed surprising commercial success with her
first two albums, "Angie" and "Angel Of the Night", produced
by contemporary jazz executives Dave Grusin and Larry Rosen
for their GRP label, distributed by Arista. She then jumped to
Arista proper (causing some bad blood with GRP) to try for a
deliberate jazz-pop crossover on her third album, which was
produced by Narada Michael Walden and shepherded by Arista
president Clive Davis, who took an executive producer credit.
Davis canvassed the publishing world for likely hit songs,
then Walden put together a studio team to create a smooth,
sophisticated sound that would, it was hoped, work for pop,
R&B, and adult contemporary radio as well as setting feet
moving in the discos.
In practice, it didn't work out that way. The title track,
with a lush disco arrangement, arrived as a single after disco
had faded, though it, like second single "Holdin' Out for
Love," a professional song by professional songwriters Cynthia
Weil and Tom Snow, managed to peak in the R&B Top 40. With
those calling cards, the album was able to register only a Top
20 R&B/Top 100 pop showing, not as high as Angel of the Night,
as Bofill's contemporary jazz fans deserted her in droves for
her commercial sellout. This is a shame, since, however
compromised its goals, much of Something About You is
effective early-'80s jazz-pop, and Bofill sings powerfully
throughout. Particularly impressive are the ballads "Break It
to Me Gently" and "Time to Say Goodbye."
The 2002 reissue adds four bonus tracks. "Love Light" and
"Rhythm of Your Mind" were actually cut by Grusin and Rosen
during the Angel of the Night sessions, while "Never Wanna Be
Without Your Love" is a duet with Walden and there is a
Spanish version of "Holdin' Out for Love."
