Review

"Street Called Desire" by René & Angela really captures that special moment in time when the duo hit their stride. Released in the summer of '85, this album is a shiny gem that perfectly fuses funk, soul, and R&B. The production teamwork of René Moore, Angela Winbush, Bobby Watson, and Bruce Swedien truly paid off, giving the music a smooth finish that keeps it sounding fresh even today. It's the kind of album that reminds me why I fell in love with the rich textures of '80s soul music in the first place!

The hits that flowed from "Street Called Desire" are undeniable crowd-pleasers. Songs like "Save Your Love (For #1)" and "Your Smile" didn't just top the charts—they became anthems. Angela Winbush's voice brings a kind of power and sincerity that just wraps around you. And let's talk about the songwriting! It hits straight to the heart, tackling the highs and lows of love with a maturity that really makes you think. It's pretty bittersweet that not long after this high note, the duo went their separate ways, but man, did they leave us with something special. Every listen takes me on a nostalgic ride, and I bet it'll do the same for anyone who appreciates a solid R&B groove. - Ava
