Music reviews of Shine
Music Review: A valiant effort
Rating: 3 Stars
While not for all tastes, this second English-language solo album from Abba soprano Frida is overall a strong effort to express her vocal talent and wide-ranging musical taste. Several songs on this album would have played perfectly on American 80's FM radio if they'd ever been given the chance. "Chemistry Tonight," "One Little Lie," and the title track are all prime examples of catchy synth-pop which follow right along with where Abba themselves left off. On the other hand, "Twist In The Dark" is a rather awkward attempt to express paranoia over a failing relationship. A good lyric is marred by a fumbling melody which seems intent on tripping over itself. More middle-of-the-road fare such as "Heart Of The Country" and "Slowly" (the latter penned by Abba alums Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson--Frida's former husband) add a sense of balance. "The Face" is one of the most angst-ridden vocals of Frida's solo career, effectively capturing the eerie uncertainty of a relationship gone sour. All in all, this is an uneven album, but not one to be easily dismissed. While not as strong as her "Something's Going On" album, it certainly maintains its overall focus, even if the picture itself is a bit fuzzy.
Description of Shine
The third album in this reissue program is SHINE, produced by Steve Lillywhite and originally released in 1984. SHINE reached the Top 10 on the album charts in Sweden, Norway and Belgium, and the Top 20 in The Netherlands. The album features songwriting contributions from artists such as Kirsty MacColl (also a backing vocalist on the album), Stuart Adamson of Big Country and Frida herself (the song 'Don't Do It'). Notably, SHINE also includes 'Slowly', the last new song by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus to be recorded by either of ABBA's female vocalists to date. The featured bonus tracks are 'That's Tough' - a co-composition between Frida, her son Hans Fredriksson and Kirsty MacColl, which was originally the B-side of the 'Shine' single - and the 12-inch extended mix of 'Shine'.
