In keeping with the album's title, inspired by the pregnant state of the duo,
Shakespear's Sister's second album is prone to mood swings and a flair for the dramatic. It's a vibe that benefits from the contrast between the throaty vocals of
Siobahn Fahey and the falsetto flutter of
Marcella Detroit.
Hormonally Yours is a wonderful, charming album marred only by a few weak lyrics. Still, there is hardly a song that isn't engaging from the first listen.
"Goodbye Cruel World" is infectious alternative pop.
"I Don't Care" is bouncy and resilient, and
"Let Me Entertain You" has a new wave feel and sardonic lyrics.
"Catwoman" has a
T. Rex swagger to it and
"Hello (Turn Your Radio On)" is a stellar glam-tinged ballad with a dreamy chorus. They edge closer to dance on the disco ball funk of
"Are We in Love Yet?" and the sultry, R&B-laced
"Emotional Thing." Everything was lost in the wake of the lovely, dramatic
"Stay," a global smash. It all adds up to make
Hormonally Yours a beautifully quirky, emotionally rich, and nearly flawless pop record.
