Not much really to add to all of the insightful commentary regarding Voice Of The Heart,
except to say,as I re-listened today to the Japan LP pressing, that there are some definite positives on this album,
especially when placed in comparison to Made in America.
The vocals are much stronger than MIA, Karen's use of her lower register is more often prominent on VOH.
Ordinary Fool (first rate), Your'e Enough, Look to Your Dreams, Now, At the End of A Song : all strong ballads, I believe.
Upbeat tunes, Sailing on the tide & Prime Time Love, are very good.
Then, Your Baby Doesn't Love You Anymore, has sparks of creativity and depth,very good use of drums.
Overall, the use of saxophone and drums, throughout the LP is excellent.
Excepting the (over)use of choir, this is a very good album to my ears.
