Album Notes & Community Reviews
Anchored by her ubiquitous hit 'It's My Party', Lesley Gore's debut is an emotionally devastating yet impossibly catchy exploration of adolescent heartbreak. Produced by Quincy Jones, the album coats themes of sadness and betrayal in undeniably lush, melodic Brill Building pop.
