Jazz singer and keyboardist Judy Roberts cut this superbly funky fusion album in 1979 on the Madonna label initially before Inner City picked it up. The fast paced ‘Never Was Love’ is a pulsating, spacey dancer, the popping ‘Thumbs’ has hints of Hancock while the sublime ‘Fantasy’ is a laid back, mellow soulful jazz number. The Latin feel of ‘You Light Up My Life’ has that classic blend of almost spoken vocals and skittering rhythms and percussion while the cosmic vibe of ‘Watercolours’ is a beautiful finale.
