Ann has come up with her own debut album, and as usual with debutantes we’ll try to get to know them a little bit better.
The album carries a curious title, Man Hunt (Platinum Blue, PB 4102D), especially considering that there's no such track on display. “The title comes from a girl that's searching for that right, special guy.”
The whole thing is produced and written by Homer Banks and Lester Snell, and this in fact is their first Platinum Blue album after J. Blackfoot’s Loveaholic in '91, on which Ann had a duet with J. aka John Colbert on a ballad, Just One Lifetime. By the way J. has also had a new PB album out for quite awhile now, but we'll get back to that more in detail in our next issue.
Man Hunt opens with a swaying soul ballad, Friendship, which J. and Ann also have done earlier on John's U-Turn album in '87, and here they are helped by another ex-Soul Children member, Norman West. I must admit that there’s a certain fascinating contrariness between J’s rough and Ann’s almost fragile handling of the song.
Sad Company is the only uptempo cut with a slight Caribbean beat, otherwise it's all ballads. There are light and a little misty tunes (Pictures, Give Me Back My Heart, Oll Habits), MORish ones with catchy pop quality (A Lover Is Born, If I Didn't Feel This Way and a poignant Separate Ways, my own favorite) and Let’s Do It, a very whispery ballad with a thin sound not unlike what they used to do in New Jersey in the 70's (All Platinum etc.); in fact, the track reminds me of something that Sylvia might have done. This, by the way, is Ann’s own favorite track on the album.
Man Hunt is a nice and relaxing entity, but very much on the ‘quiet fire’ side. I could have done with a little grittier touch. Was this deliberately? “Yes, I'm a girl from the South, but my texture is different. That's why when I went in to do the recording they said 'well, you're different, you're the girl with the northern voice, but you're from the South'..soulexpress.net”
