Search - Joyce Sims :: Come Into My Life

Serious beats and catchy horn riffs to groove to

"This album is worth owning for the "Lifetime Love" alone...a song that made everyone run to the floor in the 80's when the bass line kicked in and still has an infectious groove today.That said, it would be unfair to overlook other gems on the album - the single that started everything, "All And All", which features beat box rhythm courtesy of Mantronix and a killer horn riff, and her lovely slow jam "Come Into My Life" which falls in line nicely with the style of the album. Also included is her fourth single, the lesser known but satisfying "Walkaway".Rounding things out is her cover of "Love Makes A Woman", a song that proves Joyce can stand her ground even when the beatbox is turned down.If you are a freestyle fan, a Mantronix fan, an Old School fan or a Joyce Sims fan, I would recommend this album highly. You may laugh at the cheesy cover art, but one you throw the CD on you'll be grooving too hard to remember it."

Touched by the hand of god (mantronik)

"i bought this on viynl when it first came out as i was blown away by the three mantronik produced singles released earlier ie all n all,lifetime love and come into my life.
all i can say is what if? what if joyce and mantronik had still got along and produced more songs together.it's not as if the other tracks are that bad it's just that for me the magic of the singles was the marriage of mantronik's electro tinged technical trickery to a latin sound and female soul voice.i can vividly remember seeing and hearing all n all on top of the pops here in the u.k. and knowing that although mantronik had vered away from hip hop the boy had done good,and then some!
if you don't have all three singles buy it,if not check out warlock to see if the singles have a re-release with all the ill dub and edit style based mixes on them.
some of mantronik's later r n b productions have worked well ie with wondress and to a latter extent jade trini but joyce's high pitched rather than earthy latin hip hop masterpieces remain the highlight for me."

Awesome CD, Bring her back!

"Such a fun, moody mix of dance, R & B, and pop from the eighties, which still holds up well today. A multi-talented performer and songwriter. A must own for dance collecters, and I highly reccommend it for everyone else too! I'd love to hear something new from Joyce!"
