Album Notes & Community Reviews

Keyboard prodigy Patrice Rushen further refined her immaculate fusion of jazz-trained musicality and mainstream R&B with 'Posh'. The album is a brilliant synthesis of early 1980s boogie, lush pop-soul, and deeply grooving disco. Featuring the shimmering club hit 'Look Up', the recording firmly established Rushen as one of the most sophisticated arrangers and performers in post-disco dance music.
