NICE ALBUM.......2006-08-08

A very fun album from olivia. I can't say the lyrics are the best I mean some of the subject matter here is a little weird but overall the album is very well produced and olivias voice sounds excellent especially in the haunting "The right moment".a great way to close this album.Other standouts are "Moth to a flame" "Culture shock" I love the music on this one and "Emotional Tangle" let's loose the tenderness of livvys vocals.I think it is a great album to lay back relax and forget about the worlds problems. I reccomend you buy the import version which includes " Electric"its a nice track. I look foward to buying more from her so if you like good old pop music from the 80s buy it!!!......

One of her worst.. or is it?.......2006-05-08

Okay, so yes, when this album was released in '85 people thought Olivia was out of her mind, with album like this. Soul Kiss would have done well maybe if it had been released directly following her hit album "Physical" in 1981.. however twenty plus years later this album deserves a second look. Yes, it may have a few tracks that are extremely dated, due to the overuse of the synth and drum machine, but the title track and a handful of other tracks receive top marks. A rare track "Electric" was released only on the Japan release, which is a real treat. Soul Kiss is definitely an album that has been neglected by scores of ONJ fans, but really taking a second or third look at this album, it is really enjoyable. It might have been released a little too late, but it still 21 years later is a nice album to listen to. "Soul Kiss" has also been remixed and dubbed quite a few times, and the song lends itself quite well to DJ's and diehard music fans.

Worth a second look!

Well produced album, one of her better works.......2006-03-27

Like several other people, this was a disappointment when I first heard it...on record some 21 years ago. However, like other reviewers said, I just could not avoid playing it again and again.

I listen to this album when I test audio equipment, speaker systems, etc. Unlike most of the junk produced today, this album has stereo bass down to 20 Hz, which I always use to explain to the younger generation "why you need two speakers for bass, not one". Queen of the Publication is great for hearing-out the sound of digital to analog convertors, as well as checking for distortion.

I transfered my record onto CD, but would like to hear the digitally remastered copy - the 1985 release sounds like it was made on the old PCM 1600 era convertors, and has the familiar inductive loss.

This is an album I can crank up and listen to without getting sick of it - something very hard to find in the modern world of pop music. You have to hear it more than once to like it! Don't fry your speakers!

A Case of Criminal Neglect.......2005-10-15

Out of Olivia's 3 career phases (heartbroken country girl, wholesome teen icon, and sexy, mature woman), I prefer the last one. This album is a product of that period, and it is superb. I know that many found it to be too eclectic, or too sex-propelled, or too much of an attempt to compete with her contemporaries, but I never tire of listening to it, because Olivia's talent makes even the oddest songs work. Highlights for me are "Toughen Up" (great upbeat opener), "Soul Kiss" (just imagine Olivia getting down on her knees, that's all I'm saying), "Overnight Observation" (clever lyrics, humorously sexy delivery) and "The Right Moment" (motivational message beautifully executed). I guess Olivia's time had passed by 1985, so the album wasn't a great success, but to me, ignoring it was criminal neglect.
