James 'd-train' Williams and producer, arranger, general Mr. Talent Hubert Eaves III couple up again for their debut album on a new label but unfortunately can't keep up the steam of the excellent, definitive D-Train style lead single "You Are Everything" a track that reminds us just who had been around the 'house' for a goodly while. There is, however, one excellent dancer here called "Misunderstanding", but this has taken a leaf out of Bronx boy Mantronik's book with its popping 'Ladies' bass line and works a treat for it. There are other dance cuts like "Let Me Love You", "I Got Your Number" and, the best of the three, "Stand Up And Fight"' but they are, by this team's high standards, lame and a touch poppy. Williams also has a serious crack at the old balladeering and, although his growl does waver occasionally on this more demanding style, "Ice Melts In To Rain" (featuring the marvellous guitarist Hyram Bullock) at least works. Don't forget the faboulous 'Oh How I Love You Girl'. This Release is remastered From THE ORIGINAL TAPES and will include 6 bonus tracks.
