Yeah it really reminds me of Heroes too. I like Christine's LA + blues inflected pop more than the slicker stuff in the 80's.

I agree Sugar Daddy could have been on Heroes. I love that song.

Really don't get the Warm way and Mystified hate. As a musician i am blown away by the beautiful melody, harmonies and amazingly melodic guitar solo in Mystified. The song evokes such a feeling of tropical sensuality to me. Warm ways is great too.

It's possibly the worst song in the FM catalogue, too. What was Danny thinking when he wrote and recorded it? What were the band thinking? Peter apparently thought it should be the lead single from Then Play On. Can you imagine?!
Christine's version is just as bad, but there's nothing she could have done to have improved upon it. The real question is, what lapse in taste urged her to record it? |

These are exquisite songs. Her singing on both of them is inspired, particularly on "Warm Ways," which is a bit of an aberration for Christine: it is written in E-flat, one of the only songs with a "black" root note. As Christine has said, she is comfortable playing in any key as long as the root note is a "white" note--the ivory key over the ebony ones. As a player of the keys myself, I completely sympathize with her comment. Playing in a sharp or flat key can be a bit more difficult on the fingers. Still, one of the reasons "Warm Ways" sounds different and fresh is because it revels in a musical texture she doesn't normally explore.

That said, growing up learning guitar and keyboards by playing along, I HATED him for it. For guitar, you had to retune for every *&^%ing song, and on keys(unless it was something you could manually change the pitch), you were screwed! Back to WW, it's never been a favorite of mine. The production sounds horribly dated, with all those tom fills.

All the instrumentation is a lot more disparate (if that's the right word) than on the final version. I'm glad it was developed a lot further. http://thepenguinstale.tumblr.com/ |

I don't think of WW as dated. Yeah, those tom fills might be a bit of a tell that it's the early-to-mid seventies. (Think SHOW ME A SMILE.) But to my ears the production on it is pretty clean and crisp. And her voice is just gorgeous. Weird choice for a first single, though. |
