Laurie Anderson: Strange Angels (1989)


It seems obvious that Anderson made a conscious and concerted effort to produce more songs, in the traditional sense, on Strange Angels. There is more singing, and less spoken word or sort-of-singing. Critics seemed to be divided, and so am I.

On the one hand, I like some of the tracks, like Beautiful Red Dress and Babydoll. On the other hand, I miss some of the bizarreness of her earlier material.
