Taylor Dayne has the good fortune to be possessed of one of those memorably full-tilt voices capable of reaching out from the car radio and grabbing you by the throat. The problem is she uses it all the time.
I was motivated to buy this CD because of that star-quality high-volume ’emotional overload’ (Ms. Dayne’s words) approach to the high-airplay singles she’s tossed out along the way. But this CD is too much of a single good thing.
Although the worthy influence of Tina Turner is palpable, so—alas—is that of Mrs. Costanza.
Still, let’s not be overly harsh. Taylor Dayne has found her niche and worked it well. She can still convince on any given Sunday with ‘Tell It To My Heart’ and there’s a kind of horsepower when she goes deep into her alto register that gives the same warm feeling as a well-tuned Hemi.
Her energy makes it seem that she’s likely a good live act to watch, though I’ve not personally been to one of her concerts.
But on a careful listening to her Greatest Hits, I eventually found myself pushing the seat back as far as it would go and wondering when it would all end.
I’ll be taking my Taylor Dayne, admiringly, in small doses from here on out.
