Ready for the Worldの1984年のデビューアルバム。
「Oh Sheila」が発表された時に、本当はPrinceの別プロジェクトなのではないかと騒がれたことが記憶にある。
確かに当時のPrinceファミリーのサウンドに酷似してる。
しかし、このアルバム全体を通して言うのなら、
黒人バンドによる「New Waveの試み」だったのではないかと思うほど、カッコイイサウンドが満載。
Ceramic Girlのベースサウンドは、あのKajaGooGooよりもカッコイイ。
ほとんど忘れ去られているバンドではあるが、是非再度聴いてほしいアルバムです。

A well put together debut album from a very talented but VERY underrated group.

The Ready for the World (1985) album was a mixture of slow love songs, up tempo pop jams, some love lorn or jaded love up tempo songs, and etc. There's even a song on the album that it isn't wise to listen to if you just broke up with your girl (you have to buy the album to see which song fits that description).
Lead singer Melvin Riley Jr. and his team of producers and backing vocalists put together a debut album in 1985 that focused on the groups' style of beat production and of course Riley's silky smooth vocal style. Riley's vocal style sat on top of some beats that were of the funk, electronic, keyboard synthesized, pop, and soul varieties.
After listening to this entire album more than five times in the past nine days, it's easy to tell that RTFW wanted this album to have crossover appeal, and they accomplished that. Many of the songs on this album got the group much radio airplay in the 1980s as well as appearances on Soul Train (your music had to be hot when your album came out to get on there) and other music shows.
The album was comprised of nine tracks in total, and six of those songs were released as singles in the 1984-1986 period. So that tells you that MCA Records wanted RTFW to get big fast and that they believed in the group.
Pros of Ready for the World album: Riley's crooning, begging, sultry, and smooth vocals. Yes, much of the beats on the album are serious ear candy, but Riley's vocal stylings were what brought the ladies (the albums' biggest demographic) to the album.
Cons of Ready for the World album: My only gripe with this album is that track nine, I'm the One Who Loves You, should have been released as a single (and it should have had a music video) over track three Ceramic Girl. I'm the One Who Loves You is one of the strongest songs on the album.
In conclusion, this album was more than just its biggest hit single Oh Sheila. This album had well put together beats, well put together vocal arrangements, and many of its songs' lyrics still stand up today when it comes to relationships or how a man should feel about a woman.
