Paula Abdul hit the big time with the third single,
"Straight Up," off this album, which sparked a string of hits that carried through to her follow-up. Despite having a slight voice, her voice is distinct and perfectly suited to this synthesized type of late-'80s
dance-pop.
"Cold Hearted" is insistent and catchy,
"Forever Your Girl" is sweet and accessible, and
"Opposites Attract" gives
Abdul a chance to spar with
the Wild Pair. There is some filler --
"Next to You," for example -- that hasn't aged as well as the better material, but overall this is a consistent album with some great
dance-pop songs. Unfortunately, as
Abdul and her material matured, her audience waned.
