Nancy Wilson 

Billed as the 50th album by this 50-year-old singer, Nancy Wilson‘s Forbidden Lover is an attempt to contemporize her sound, with arrangements that recall Luther Vandross and the Earth, Wind & Firehorn section. The title track, a duet with Carl Anderson, seems intended to heat up the R&B charts and, if it did, there would be other tracks to follow. It’s reasonable that Columbia Records, which signed Wilson up after her long tenure at Capitol, should try to get a return on its investment. But Wilson the jazz-R&B song stylist gets lost on most of these recordings. “I Was Telling Him About You” is a ballad that lets her get across her personality, and the string-filled closer, Leon Russell‘s “A Song About You,” really gives her room to shine and probably will turn out to be the only keeper on this collection. Pop music performers almost always want to sound contemporary, but this is one singer who would be better off acting her age.
