Emotion
Barbra Streisand’s first album of contemporary material in four years was a typical ’80s “Adult Contemporary” superstar release, each track written and produced as a potential “power ballad” single by an extensive team of other performers, in this case including Richard Perry, Kim Carnes, Maurice White of Earth, Wind Fire, Jim Steinman, Albhy Galuten (the Bee Gees’ producer), Richard Baskin, Diane Warren, John Mellencamp, and Streisand herself. Streisand proved capable of handling everything from White’s space-age RB to Steinman’s melodramatic overproduction. (He was the man who brought you Meat Loaf.) But as usually happens with such big budget efforts, the album lacked consistency, and as Columbia tried to pull several singles off it without notable success it sold only to Streisand’s million-member base audience.
