El disco se abre con la brillante And she was, canción que está en la herencia de sus trabajos anteriores, con ritmos sincopados y frases a contratiempo y recoge excelentes baladas y medios tiempos como Give me back my name, Perfect World, o el propio Creatures of love, y canciones que fueron himnos para mi generación como Stay up late! o The Lady don't mind. En 2005 se reeditó en formato digital con sonido 5:1 y el añadido de los maxis de dos de los temas y una versión en maqueta de Road to nowhere.
¿Por qué es un imprescindible para mí? Pues básicamente porque me hizo adentrarme en el panorama de la música pop americana (lo que algunos llamaron el new wave de la costa Este) que a mis 18 años de entonces eran unos (casi) perfectos desconocidos. Y además porque decantó mis gustos musicales en la música de baile hacia una opción más culta y comprometida.
Os dejo con la letra de mi canción preferida Stay up late! y el disco en su versión del 2005.

Stay up Late
Mommy had. A little baby.
There he is. Fast asleep.
He's just. A little plaything.
Why not. Wake him up?
Cute. Cute. Little baby.
Little pee pee. Little toes.
Now he's comin' to me.
Crawl across. The kitchen floor.
Baby, baby, please let me hold him
I wanna make him stay up all night
Sister, sister, he's just a plaything
We wanna make him stay up all night
Yeah we do
See him drink. From a bottle.
See him eat. From a plate.
Cute. Cute. As a button.
Don't you wanna make him. Stay up late.
And we're having fun. With no money.
Little smile. On his face.
Don't cha' love. The little baby.
Don't you want to make him. Stay up late.
CHORUS
Here we go (all night long)
Sister, sister (all night long)
In the playpen...woo...(all night long)
Little baby goes, ha! (all night long)
I know you want to leave me...
Why don't. We pretend.
There you go. Little man.
Cute. Cute. Why not?
Late at night. Wake him up.
CHORUS
Here we go (all night long)
Sister, sister...woo...
(with the television on)
Little baby goes...woo! (all night long)
Hey, hey, baby! (all night long)
And he looks so cute (all night long)
In his little red suit (all night long)
