LAMONT DOZIER - 1983 - BIGGER THAN LIFE

Put this one near the top of the heap of Lamont Dozier's solo releases. He brought a bag of gimmicks to the studio to complement some top-shelf songs. "Roundtrip Ticket" is a romantic beauty, sweet and melodic with a catchy hook; the title track bounces smoothly along, accented by techno voices; and he changes his modus operandi on "Love Wars," a fast, funky ditty punctuated by slapping bass licks. "Right Where I Wanna Be" and "Second Wind" are above-average ballads. The Hall of Fame songwriter pays homage to Jesus on "Hero of My Heart," concluding an album of strong, well-produced tunes that unfortunately fell by the wayside. ~ pascal.gf.
