We Say...
In the ‘70s, the ultimate vanity item wasn’t a license plate or a coke spoon, but your own disco album (just ask Count Chocula, Ethel Merman or Blowfly). The most surprising thing, then, about Heaven in My Eyes, the purported disco disc from iconic supermodel-turned-UK hitmaker Twiggy, is that it took so long to surface. Recorded in 1979 but shelved until recently, Heaven is suitably the product of schmoozing (in the '70s, Twiggy moved to L.A. and befriended Donna Summer). Along with Giorgio Moroder cohort Jürgen Koppers, Summer produced the album, and if nothing else, Heaven proves that her day job wasn't worth quitting.
Heaven isn’t a very good disco album because, simply, it isn’t disco: “My Baby Don’t Call Me Baby,” a pleasant facsimile of Chic’s “I Want Your Love,” is the only track here that could realistically be considered of the genre. Heaven otherwise consists of NRGetic, pseudo-rocky uptempo numbers and bizarre ballads like “Dorothy” and “Sugar Daddy," two novelty tracks on an album that already is inherently novel. Twiggy attacks it all with gusto: her unpolished pipes conjure what the parasitic conjoined twin of Bonnie Tyler might sound like (diminutive but still gravelly). To borrow a phrase Twiggy used way too much during her stint judging America’s Next Top Model: the camera loves her. The microphone, however, is another story.
“ The indie iTunes — Hardcore music fans are migrating to eMusic, the iTunes Music Store's cheaper, cooler cousin.”
