Review

Let’s hit the dance floor because Irene Cara’s "What a Feelin’" brings all the early '80s dance-pop vibes you didn’t know you needed! Released in 1983, this album is a lively step away from Cara’s earlier R&B style, ushered in by her powerhouse collaboration with Giorgio Moroder. The iconic track "Flashdance... What a Feeling" sits as the album's shining jewel, co-written by Cara herself. This tune practically dominated the Billboard Hot 100 for an impressive six weeks, setting the upbeat tone for the entire album.

Diving into the production magic, Giorgio Moroder's touch is everywhere, as he teamed up with Cara to birth a collection of feel-good tracks. Cara mainly focused on penning the lyrics and let Moroder weave his musical magic, resulting in a fun and unified album. Even though "What a Feelin’" didn’t match the towering success of its superstar single, it offered some groovy charting singles such as "Why Me?" and "Breakdance". It’s impossible not to applaud Cara for her adaptability and vibrant foray into the '80s dance-pop scene. While it might not be front and center in her commercial success stories, it holds a beloved spot in her musical journey! - Kelcie
