Rating: Deborah Harry's third album can be considered the link between Blondie's first discography period from 76-82 and the second period from 1999-2014. The hand of the producer of almost all the tracks, Mike Chapman, is the same as on the group's most successful albums, including "Parallel Lines" and it shows. The sound is an evolution of New Wave, less Pop and more Rock than Blondie's repertoire. The single "I Want that Man" and the track "Kiss it Better," two well-crafted pop-rock songs, are produced by the Thompson Twins, and another single "Sweet and Low," which also received a remix, is produced by the Harry-Stein and Toni C duo. "Maybe for sure," another single, is a remake of the "Rock and Rule" cartoon soundtrack, also sung by Harry. There's another remake, the ethnic "Calmarie" by Naná Vasconcelos. Among the best tracks is "The End of the Run," a spoken word piece with a remarkable atmosphere featuring a beautiful autobiographical text. "Get your way" is rapped, with Harry paying tribute to James Brown, whose song "I Feel Good" she had covered live, followed by the explosive rock tracks "Forced to Live," "Comics Books," and "Forced to Live," a deadly and unprecedented triplet for Harry, who is usually very pop. "I'll never fall in love again" is tropical, bringing her back to her more familiar territory. In short, a beautiful album that still sounds good today.
Tracklist Lyrics and Videos
01 I Want That Man (03:43)
I wanna dance with Harry Dean, Drive through Texas in a black limousine
I wanna piece of heaven before I die
I wanna pair of big high heels, Catch
the lights up on the ferris wheel
But what I really want I just can't
buy
Here comes the 21st century
It's gonna be much better
for a girl like me
'Cause I want everything I can
But most of all I
want that man, I want that man
I wanna move like what's his name,
I'll keep the money, you can ha-ave the fame
Everything that's yours will
soon be mine
Yeah, I wanna be the queen of the USA, You can send me roses
every other day
But what I really want I just can't buy
Here comes the 21st century
It's gonna be much better for a girl like me
'Cause I want everthing I can
But most of all I want that man
I want that man
I wanna be kissed from head to toe, By that man i-in the
very back row
But he won't even look me in the eye
Ahh-ah, I want
his love to rain right down on me
I want him to be king of all my
dreams
But what I really want I just can't buy
Here comes
the 21st century
It's gonna be much better for a girl like me/>
'Cause I want everything I can
But most of all I want that man, I want
that man
I want that man, (I want that man)
I want that man,
(I want that man)
I want that man, (I want that man)
I want that
man, (I want that man)
I want that man, I want that man
I
said I want that man, Do you get the message
I want that man (fade)
