One of the best dance-pop/R&B albums to come out of the 1980s.
By the beginning of 1983, Lionel Richie was already a star because of his years with The Commodores and due to the success of his solo debut album in 1982. But Richie wasn't cool with resting on his past success, he wanted to keep working. So out comes his second album Can't Slow Down (1983). The title of his second solo album isn't just the name of one of the songs on the album, the album's title also serves as an apt description of the pace that Richie was on during the 1981 to 1986 period. In that six-year period Richie put out three albums that were huge hits and which had him promoting those albums all over the world.Can't Slow Down was a slick and richly produced album that was set up to make Richie one of the biggest recording artists of the 1983 to 1985 period. The success of this album helped him get on the 1985 We Are the World Tour, a tour that was comprised of the biggest and brightest recording artists of the early to mid 1980s period.Can't Slow Down was a mixture of soft love songs, sweet love ballads, up-tempo dance songs, and some songs that were ready made for the radio. Richie, his beat producers, the writers on this album and of course his record label Motown Records wanted this album to be a huge crossover hit and it was.My favorite song on the album was track four, Stuck on You. That song is a marvelous song that was set up to appeal to country music lovers or just music fans who have good taste in music.Pros of Can't Slow Down: Every culture on the planet in the 1983-1984 period (the albums' original run and hype period) could find something to like about this album. There are songs on the album for Blacks, whites, Latinos, and etc. When you're trying to be a crossover recording artist this is the type of album you make.Cons of Can't Slow Down: There was not one song on this album that was a straight up R&B song, and that's something. Richie sure has a soulful R&B voice, but by the 1980s Richie was moving away from the R&B game. In the 1980s Richie was more concerned with richly produced and glossy pop love ballads an up-tempo pop songs, and that was what made him a superstar solo artist and what made him a lot of money. It was a formula that worked for him.In conclusion, Can't Slow Down was a huge hit back in its day because of Richie's soulful and radio friendly singing voice, some cool music videos, and because of the prevalence of top notch beat producers on the album.
