CINDY BULLENS | Cindy Bullens (1989)

Cindy Bullens took her first steps as a professional musician in the 1970s, notably with the production of two albums ( "Desire Wire" in 1978, and "Steal The Night" the following year), preceded by various collaborations with ELTON JOHN in as a backing vocalist and a participation in the soundtrack of the world famous film "Grease"in which the singer performed three titles. In the early 1980s, when her career seemed to be off to a good start, the American went green to devote herself to her family. It was therefore after a long period of inactivity that this third album saw the light of day in 1989. It seems however that we had not entirely forgotten the singer, because in addition to being signed on the major MCA, producer Bob Clearmountain assisted her and her guitarist in the making of this record (we even find her foal BRYAN ADAMS in the backing vocals on "Don't Let This Love Go Down"). Flashy names for an album ultimately disappointing, offering a melodic rock not really unpleasant (the ballad "Letters Of Fire", "Breakin 'The Chain"), generally emphasizing the guitar, and served by a nice bit of vocals ,or in short an album presenting a certain number of qualities, but without a truly striking title. A few promising melodic lines, but alas spoiled by a flat chorus (“Let Me Love Somebody”, “Fight For Me”…), are not enough to sustain attention. Since the release of this record, Cindy Bullens has not completely disappeared from circulation; she even actively pursues her career, but discreetly, so discreetly, even, that it is now appropriate to call him Monsieur ...Cindy Bullens hasn't quite disappeared from circulation; she even actively pursues her career, but discreetly, so discreetly, even, that it is now appropriate to call him Monsieur ...Cindy Bullens hasn't quite disappeared from circulation; she even actively pursues her career, but discreetly, so discreetly, even, that it is now appropriate to call him Monsieur ...
