Retro Spins: Sheila E. In Romance 1600



Sheila E may have been a female protégée of Prince. However, Prince, she was not. The singer's second solo album, while definitely influenced by the late artist, certainly doesn't have his shine and polish to it.

Sheila E In Romance 1600 pretty much fits the bill for bland and boring. It's uninspired, relatively unmemorable and beyond salvaging. It's glimmer of hope, Love Bizarre, featuring Prince, shows that too much of something doesn't necessarily make it good. At twelve minutes eighteen seconds, it doesn't do anything beyond making me want to hear the far superior single mix.

Overall, this album just isn't any good and I'm not going to try to pretend it is. If nothing else, it makes me sad that the much shorter and better version of Love Bizarre isn't included on it.

    So what happens to CDs you don't like? Resell? Donate? Or tossed into the landfill with the Atari ET cartridges?

      Most of them I keep. A very select few I have put on the curb. Duplicates go to Alexis.
