Synopsis

Product Description
Pia Zadora had quite an eclectic musical output during the late 70's and throughout the 80's, despite all of the attention focused on her marriage. Pia vocals, in this 1988 release, fit so perfectly within the album s slick, effective, multi-layered arrangements.

When The Lights Go Out was her UK-only release and marked Zadora's return to the pop/dance fold after achieving credibility with her readings of R & B standards. The Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis' production is too slick at times; but the songs are well-crafted.

Up-tempo numbers comprise with the understated "Still Remembered" and pulsating "Dance Out of My Head" making the strongest impressions. However, it's the ballads that Zadora is most comfortable with, and the standout is "Since I've Been Lovin' You." A calming number built simply on keyboard layering s and Zadora's vocal, it exemplifies her penchant for subtle R&B styling s and strays from the excessive production of several other cuts. "Silence" is a close match, demonstrating her proficiency in the soprano range.
The track listing is evenly split between energetic dance-pop numbers and sullen R&B ballads. From the kinetic, catchy "Laughin' at You" to the pensive, romantic "Since I've Been Lovin' You," this set effectively captures many moods in one listen!
