		Franklin was struggling personally and commercially at this point; she took nine months off during the recording of this album, and the music here is lifeless and diffuse compared to her other Atlantic output.
		Franklin adjusted to the conservative 80s with a set of appallingly anti-woman numbers, produced by Luther Vandross: the hit title track features Aretha telling her girlfriends that she doesn't have any time for them anymore because she has to dance attendance on her man, and it doesn't get any better from there on in.
		Doubtless due to the retro-soul/neo-soul boom, Franklin's latest is a return to the gentle sounds and live instrumentation of her 70s releases.
