CD/Music Review: Paula Abdul: Spellbound

 


Spellbound, released in 1991, was the second studio album by Paula Abdul, and the follow-up to her massively successful debut album, Forever Your Girl. The album includes 11 tracks in all. Many are still very much in the dance-pop genre of her first album; however, Abdul branched out into ballads on this one. The most successful ballad on the album (and the most popular track in general) was Rush Rush, which was one of two number one hits the album produced (the other being Promise of a New Day). Blowing Kisses in the Wind (another ballad on the album) cracked the top ten on the Billboard Top 100, and Vibeology (one of the dance tracks) was a minor hit. The CD liner includes the lyrics for all the songs, then the traditional artist thank you, writing, and production credits, etc. Ultimately, the album is enjoyable, especially if you like 80s and 90s pop.
