Album Reviews
Gary Klein, who produced that record and the album from which it came in the glossiest MOR style, pours on even more schlock this time, wasting the talents of a score of top session players and arrangers in settings so overblown they literally point out the flimsiness of the songs. Soaring above the sludge, Streisand's steely soprano has seldom sounded so histrionically detached. Songbird's nadir is "Love Breakdown," a lugubrious slice of pop-disco. The LP's highlight is a passable version of Charles Strouse's and Martin Charnin's "Tomorrow," from the Broadway musical, Annie. The cover art is devoted to photos of Streisand with her dogs.
