I'll be the first to write a review on what I think of as a lost talented artist's debut. Robbie Nevil came out of nowhere in 1986 with "C'est La Vie" which I really didn't care for at that time, but with his next single, "Dominoes", I was sold. When I bought the cassette tape I listened to it over and over again. At the age of 14 I felt Nevil's debut was very good. There still isn't a song on this album that's a toss-off. I also liked "Simple Life", "Look Who's Alone Tonight", "Just A Little Closer" and "Back To You". His third single "Wot's It To Ya" was also a minor hit and well done. I don't think too many people know who Robbie Nevil is anymore, but it seemed to me that his career ended prematurely. He followed this debut with another solid album 1988's "A Place Like This" and then his final album 1991's "Day 1". I own all three on cd. I bought them before they went out of print. I suppose that Nevil sounded somewhat like Michael Jackson in terms of his voice and music, but he truly was his own talent. Find this one, or any of his other two in your local used cd store--it's worth the hunt.

This was one of the best debut albums by any artist ever! Robbie Nevil should have been a huge success and I can't believe his music is out of print compared to some of the total crap that survives from this time period.

5.0 out of 5 stars Forgotten talent, January 8, 2008

This debut from Robbie in 1986 made me very intrested in his work. The production was (and still is) fantastic when I listen to it today. He's not only a good writer, he's also a good musician and producer. C`est La Vie was the BIG hit and made him a superstar (for a short while). But the album is packed with minor hits like Dominoes and What's It To Ya and proved that Robbie is an artist that should have been up there with George Michael or even Prince at the top in the 80's.

Now, lookin back, it's no doubt that Robbie is "forgotten talent". He produced three good albums and this is a classic YOU shouldn't miss.
