Reviews
Billboard reviewed for week ending 5/7/83
This album explodes on the pop chart this week, leaping from 166 to 29. That's a spectacular jump, but it perhaps shouldn't be too surprising. The album was composed by Giorgio Moroder, whose "American Gigolo" soundtrack in 1980 went top 10, and the title track is sung by Irene Cara, whose "Fame" single and soundtrack also went top 10. Most of the music on the album is trendy, urban dance rock, though there are also a few ballads, including a torchy tune by Kim Carnes (produced by Keith Olsen). But the most interesting facet of the album is that it mixes cuts by dance queen Donna Summer and aspirants to the throne Irene Cara and Laura Branigan.
Summary:
Alex Owens is a female dynamo: steel worker by day, exotic dancer by night. Her dream is to get into a real dance company, though, and with encouragement from her boss/boyfriend, she may get her chance. The city of Pittsburgh co-stars. What a feeling!
