    Abdul's Best Work To Date

    By Mike  Jul 28, 2000 | 1 out of 1 found this Head over Heels review helpful

    Sadly, the public seemed to be done with Paula Abdul by the time she finally got around to releasing her third album of new material. Or was it just the way Virgin Records marketed the CD? Head Over Heels certainly didn't receive the marketing push ...that Spellbound did. And that's unfortunate because, although Spellbound is also a great album, this disc is by far the best work Miss Abdul has done.From the first track, "Crazy Cool", a modest radio hit, right up till the end it is clear that Abdul has grown vocally and artistically. The schoolgirl-next-door image was good while it lasted but Paula Abdul progressed to an edgier, sexier sound with this disc and she does a very good job with the role. It definitely should have performed better than it did.Standouts: "Crazy Cool", "My Love Is For Real" (#1 on Billboard's Club Play Chart), "Sexy Thoughts", "Ho-Down", "Under The Influence", "Get Your Groove On", "Missing You", and "It's All About Feeling Good".It's old news by now, but buy it anyway. You'll be surprised. Read more Less

    Four years after the release of Spellbound, Paula Abdul returned with the sleek Head Over Heels. Head Over Heels doesn't sound all that different than her previous album; it incorporates a couple of current dance trends without ever letting the beats dominate the accessible pop melodies of the songs. Unfortunately, the songs are more well constructed than well written -- all of the arrangements hide the fact that the songs usually lack strong hooks. That weakness is accentuated by the length of the album. Approaching nearly 70 minutes, Head Over Heels spends too much time with lesser songs. Abdul remains an engaging presence, even with her limited vocal talents, and the record's best songs -- the slinky "My Love Is for Real," for instance -- are more mature and seductive than her earlier works, showing that she has the possibility to grow old gracefully.
