The Good Girls
“Just Call Me”
Motown Records
“Hello, we’ve been gone for some
time and we’ve really missed you/We
hope you like some doo-doo.”
That is the opening interlude from
The Good Girls’ song, “We’ve Missed
You.” The statement about doo-doo is
true, The Good Girls have put to
gether a mediocre effort.

NO COVER
The Good Girls’ debut album “All
For Your Love” had three top-10
singles and established this trio as one
of the music industry’s brightest new
arrivals. Somewhere along the line,
The Good Girls have taken a wrong
turn and turned into The Bad Girls.
“Just Call Me,” the First single and
title track off this album is an up
tempo, funky dance club track that
just falls short of its intended target
sound.
“Since I Fell For You” starts out
with a ’60s-type groove, but when
The Good Girls start to sing, it just
takes away from this groove. It ap
pears that The Good Girls are try ing to
market themselves on the same for
mula that has made En Vogue a suc
cess, with a harmonizing sound. This
does not work, and there is only one
En Vogue.
“Nothing” starts out with a good
beat and with its synthesizing sound,
it seems like this tune will be a good
one, but when The Good Girls start to
sing, the music falls off a notch.
“Future” is another track with a
funky beat, but the vocals are tired
and ruin the song.
Although the majority of “Just Call
Me” is bad, there are a few bright
spots on this release.
“Love in Love’s Hands,” is a bal
lad that evokes memories of the
group’s first LP. On this tune, The
Good Girls are able to tie it all to
gether and make the chemistry work.
“Can You Keep Him” is another
track that can be salvaged from this
LP. It is an up-tempo dance tune with
a driving melody. Add in a sample
from Eric B and Rakim, and this tune
is actually a good song.
Overall “Just Call Me” is a very
weak effort. The Good Girls are ca
pable of much better work than this.
The chemistry that made this trio
so successful the first time around has
not worked this time and The Good
Girls need to rediscover that magic or
else quit while they are ahead.
The Good Girls do have the poten
tial to be a very good group. On the
majority of the songs on this album,
the track was all right, it was the
vocals that needed work.
The Good Girls’ campaign slogan
is “We are here to serve you.”
It they are serving in the manner
that “Just Call Me” has, then some-.
body can just call me and I will give
them my copy of this LP.

Mommy
Continued from Page 9
But, he said, “It wasn’t Kiss or
anything.”
Some New York-area reviewers
coined the Mommyheads as heavily
XTC-influenced.
But there are a lot more elements
than that. Adam Cohen sounds like
Joe Jackson at times.
The Mommyheads vacillate be
tween jazz and pop, hitting on lots of
p — — — — — — — — —
cool stuff in between.
The three-musician group utilize
its acoustic guitars and vocals.
Voices waiver, fade st lightly
outofkcy.andt ac! ig.i in. All
the swings making lor highly
texturized tunes.
And just plain interesting music.
Listen to long-time music critic
John Froschheiscr and take a listen to
the Mommyheads.
Mom never lets you down; neither
will The Mommyheads.
