Album Notes & Community Reviews

Transitioning away from the adolescent teenage angst of her earliest hits, Lesley Gore embraces a noticeably more mature, soulful pop sound on this 1965 release. Arranged largely by Claus Ogerman, the album benefits from sophisticated orchestration and sophisticated Brill Building songcraft. Her confident, emotive delivery highlights her evolution from a teen idol into a highly capable interpreter of dramatic pop-soul.
