Stacy Lattisaw: Let Me Be Your Angel, Expanded Edition CD

• Stacy Lattisaw emerged within the disco era with not only life-affirming dance hits but also quietly assured balladry that were as urgent as they were deceiving: Stacy was only 13 years old when her debut album Young And In Love was released in 1979 on Cotillion Records. Whilst that record was retroactively considered a minor success compared to the success that would follow, the duality between uplifting dance music and balladry was already in place.

• 1980’s LET ME BE YOUR ANGEL, her sophomore release on Cotillion, is the blueprint for her continued success on the label in the early years of the decade. Lead single ‘Dynamite!’(R&B #8/DISCO #1) is utterly joyous in its reiterations of late 70s dance-funk with subtle synthesisers that post-disco artists would continue expanding on in the years to follow. UK single ‘Jump to the Beat’ (UK #3, Disco #1) became Stacy’s signature hit in Europe. Deliriously fun dance-pop, it’s a contrast with the ballads that would follow on the record.

• The album’s final single and title track (US #21/R&B #8/AC #34) proved to be the record’s most successful stateside hit and Stacy’s most sentimental vocal performance to date. Again, the single is testament to how self-assured Stacy could be with her vocals without any attention locked in on how remarkably young she is; her heartbreak is at the forefront here.

• BBR is thrilled to release LET ME BE YOUR ANGEL in a newly remastered and repacked edition with two bonus tracks and brand new interviews with STACY LATTISAW and producer NARADA MICHAEL WALDEN.
