New producers for Stevie? Is she too difficult?

There was no saving Silver Girl. Someone should have SERIOUSLY vetoed that going on the album. We all know she has better stuff in the vaults than THAT snoozer of a song.

I agree, Lindsey didn't ruin Stevie's songs on SYW. I think he did a good job, she just included some clunkers that couldn't be saved. I'm not a big fan of her slow songs on the album and I think that Smile At You should have sounded more like the angry demo version, but for the most part, her stuff is pretty good on SYW.

One thing Lindsey should try to reign in is the tendency to make everything sound like it's from the 80's. Big, slick, loud productions. That's how Tango sounded and it seems like he hasn't strayed from that approach much with modern day FM.
