A flawed and yet enjoyable album - vintage Rufus and Chaka., 18 Feb 2001
By A Customer
Street Player is typical Rufus and Chaka Khan.Like Ask Rufus, its predecessor, Street Player ranges from the rambling to the sublime. Rufus have made an engaging album - made more so by the use of your CD player's skip button. However the touches of beauty and energy on the album make forgivable any of the band's self-indulgence. Chaka Khan's voice is used to its spine-tingling best on Stay and Destiny, two songs worth buying the album for and Rufus' experimental, jazzy side comes out in Finale, a tune bursting with pace and energy. Tony Maiden, aka Rufus shares the lead vocals, singing the title track, a low key but catchy and engaging rendition of this many-covered hit which certainly pushes the Bucket Heads into touch. At its best, Street Player is full of great tunes, beautiful singing, and toe-tapping melodies. At its worst it is self-indulgent and songs such as Blue Love tend to lose their way amid the musical twiddling and vocal acrobatics. Despite its flaws, Street Player certainly joins Ask Rufus as a jewel in the band's crown.
