Faces (1980)

Let Me Talk

Home

Let Me Talk***+[ 4:08] (M. White, V. White, L. Dunn, P. Bailey, A. McKay, R, Johnson) : Aggressive, uptempo-Afro-Latin Rhumba melded into dance-worthy funk, is the lead-off single for EW&F's Faces album. Full brass comes in with high intensity only to be tempered by a saxophone adding cream to the mix. Finely placed spastic bass-lines, scorching rhythm guitars augment each other, teeming Afro-percussion all topped with a carousel of spine-tingling synthesizers. The lead and background vocals are even strong making "Let Me Talk" among EW&F's better productions considering the musical technology of the time.
