Seven years after
Sheila E. burst upon the scene with her Top Ten single
"The Glamorous Life," the talented percussionist's fourth release,
Sex Cymbal, reflects the sound of successful, late-'80s artists like
Janet Jackson and
Paula Abdul. It's a solid mix of pop/R&B ballads like the pretty (if unspectacular)
"Loverboy" and more dance-oriented tracks. The title track is a slinky come-on and
Sheila E. leads her band through a horn-laden version of
"Lady Marmalade." The musicianship is not-surprisingly strong and there are a couple cool instrumental jams.
Sex Cymbal is a sure-footed, groove-oriented album, but it lacks anything as memorable as her earlier hits.
